Knapps Castle Senior Portraits | UCSB Class of 2015 | Santa Barbara, California
Meet Natalie, another lovely UCSB senior! We had a lot of fun on this Free People-inspired shoot – especially with the bathtub! Despite the cold wind we found up in the mountains, I think the shots we got are one-of-a-kind and so warm and golden. Thanks again, Natalie! And congratulations!
Goleta, California Photographer | UCSB Senior Portraits | Class of 2015
I just love working with seniors! For the first (and last) time, I am also a college senior, and it's so fun to be surrounded by so much enthusiasm for UCSB and graduation. Julia and I were able to get some great shots over at the Butterfly Preserve – isn't her smile contagious?
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA PHOTOGRAPHERYou may see a familiar face in this post. Sydney did some modeling for me in the past, so when her boyfriend Alex contacted me saying he wanted to gift her a couples session for her birthday, I was thrilled! These two are so fun to be around and so attractive - I told them they should sign up for couples modeling. Thanks again, Alex and Sydney!
STOW HOUSE | GOLETA, CALIFORNIA PHOTOGRAPHER
This shoot was great for so many reasons: the colors, the lighting, the fresh green grass from the recent storms, but most of all, the two amazing people I got to capture. I love shoots where people say things like, "Can we dance?" or "This might be weird, but..."
Thanks again, Lindsey and Bryan, for being so enthusiastic and fun to work with!
I wanted to plant succulents to take to my apartment at school, and I had to trim the burro tail one to transport it. Since there were these pretty long strands of succulent, I couldn't let them go to waste. I also didn't have a model handy, so I decided to wear a succulent crown myself. However, the self-portraits were much easier said than done. I haven't taken outdoor self-portraits for a long time, and when I last did so, I was shooting on automatic, which was way easier. But shooting manual to get the exact effect you want requires you to be constantly adjusting settings, so even with a flip-screen and a remote trigger, it was a struggle. I even decided the crown looked kind of dumb, but here are the few surviving images.
NAPA, CALIFORNIA
Meet Kylie! We had a great time getting some nice golden hour shots around Napa - the perfect place to find empty roads to stand in the middle of and rustic fences to lean against. Thanks for being my location scout, Kylie!
