Santa Barbara Family portraits

It is that time of year, where families love getting their photos taken and sending them out to their close friends and family for the holidays. Here are a few sessions I have done lately and more to come later this month. I also have a special going right now for family portrait sessions before Dec 15th, so check out http://families.kristinrenee.com for more details.
Here are some of my favorites from this last month....

Chris Segeritan and Amanda Polluck's Wedding

Okay, check this out! So when I was photographing the wedding of Dale and Tara Swanson last summer, the lucky girl who caught the bouquet was Amanda and the lucky guy who caught the garter was Chris.


This cute couple just said, "I do" last weekend in Los Gatos, it was such a beautiful wedding to photograph. The tears of joy, the spunk and energy from the friends and just an amazing wedding full of great people!


So guess what happens next? Another cute couple caught the garter and bouquet!!!!! Watch out guys, its contagious!!!!!!!!!

What a cute family, my good friend, Suzie, owner of Suzie's Skin Centre and her husband and daughter went to the park to take some fun pictures. Shannon is such a little cutie! We had so much fun! Here are a few of my favorites.

Chris and Amanda's Engagement Session at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Chris and Amanda wanted to have their engagement session out in Santa Cruz, at the Beach Boardwalk. It was a such a nice day and we had so much fun together. As you can see in the photos, this couple is just so in love, they didn't want to look at me! As the sun began to go down, the fog rolled in at the beach and we got some cool shots with the foggy look. Then we went downtown to dinner and got some shots of them at their favorite restaurant. Congratulations Chris and Amanda! I can't wait till your wedding in the Fall.
