Santa Barbara Young Professionals Holiday Gala 2008

So this year, I took some photos over at the Canary Hotel rooftop at the Santa Barbara Young Professional Club Holiday Gala with another photographer friend of mine, AVG. Lots of fun! Was a great time to meet new friends. Here are a few pix from that night. There was a caricature drawing and Action Photo Booth that were both keeping the night lively as well as live music and 3 bars! What a night!

Families......

Holidays are such a wonderful time to spend with family and loved ones. It is so much fun when I get to photograph families and kids, because I get to see the love and the relationships that each of them share. I am so blessed to be able to do what I do. With being an artist also brings out my creative side. I love to try new things and go different places and love it when my subjects go along with it. My favorite of the season was the family IN the tree!
This is Dr. Aaron Austin, Channel Islands Chiropractic, in Santa Barbara, and his beautiful family.

Here are a ton more of fun family photos I did this last month. (Soon to come...my OWN fun and crazy family pictures....so stay tuned!
