about photography | light and spontaneity



When thinking about photography, my heart is enlivened by the light, the beautiful light that happens so naturally in the shade of a tree towards the end of the day, backlighting the laughter of children, wrapping around my clients, families, friends, in a romantic beauty that could only come from nature.  Capturing the moments that are spontaneous from the laugh from the stylish woman to the mischievous laughter of little boys are just two of the examples from this shoot that remind me what I so adore about photography.  The posed portraits were delivered to the clients of course, and so were these, so full of emotion and memories.   What’s important about photography for your memories isn’t just the light, but it’s the experiences, the relationships, the emotions, and these are a few of my favorites from Bonjour Maddie’s celebration of life.  The natural light and God-given beauty of each person are two of the most influential things that I adore about photography.

One of the things about photography that can cause an image to be powerful and moving, may not be held in it’s candidness yet the timing of the photograph.  Catching that soft and real smiling that followed the free flowing laughter, or maybe it’s capturing the full laughter of a child, the smile following a comment which incited genuine joy in the subject, these are some of the aspects about photography that often move our emotions more than simply the posing or lighting or raw candid shot.

Cheers to the appropriately timed shot!

Thank you to the Rand family for welcoming me into capturing this celebration of life, this family reunion, these photographs distinctly tinted to suite your event at the Four Season’s Biltmore and Coral Casino.  Photography anything from family photographs to wedding photographs at the Four Season’s Biltmore and Coral Casino never fail to show the relaxation and sweet relationships shared and enjoyed.  Whether it’s a cocktail, a tea or a photoshoot, being at the Santa Barbara Four Season’s Biltmore is energizing to my creative eye and relational energies.
