Camila and Chris are such cuties! They met while attending school at UC Santa Barbara and although they have moved out of the area, they definitely left their hearts in Santa Barbara. We can see why! The light, the coastline, the trees----it was just simply beautiful! For their session we met at Isla Vista beach, took some photos up at the park and field up on the coastline and then trekked down to the rocky beach for some more shots in the setting sun. We love Camila's stunning opal ring, especially when the setting sun would illuminate the fire in the stones :) We are so excited to be shooting their wedding in September!

Julie is a sweet friend from college who I contacted last year to see if she, her husband Dan and their little one Violet would like to do some family photos as a trade for one of her amazing  paintings ! Violet just turned six months and so they wanted to document this amazing time in their lives :) She has somewhat of a serious and focused personality, so it took a lot of effort to get her to smile and laugh but it was totally worth it as she is seriously the cutest :) So excited to see what the future holds for this adorable family!
