I have a sticky note on my computer that reads, Emotion over Technique, Gesture over Pose. It’s there to remind me that an imperfect photo that has life in it is much better than a technically sound photo that has no emotion. I encourage you to read through this blog post, because like me, I am sure you love these kids of photos too!
Summertime Family Photoshoot
I absolutely love this family! I have been shooting the family every year since their little girl was a baby. Now she has a baby brother! And although we had to skip a year due to Covid, we managed to get photos of him while he still was small.
A Summertime fashion photoshoot
It’s the middle of summer and the weather is beautiful. But the mornings in Montecito, California near Santa Barbara are still cool and foggy which is the best light for photoshoots. When you have fog and haze it creates a giant soft box for you creating gorgeous, even light.
I have been lucky enough to be able to photograph this gorgeous model a few times and last time I saw her she had long hair. She recently shaved her head and I am loving it. She pulled it off and her beauty really shines.
We shot on the railroad track (safely), on the streets of Montecito and then we ended up at the beach. Ahh summertime…
