This past week I was so stoked to photograph one of my amazing wedding couples and closest friends (who btw had an awesome wedding in Hawaii last year)... and now look at them less than two years later with the cutest baby boy.. Jaxon....  

We started at Alice Keck Park in Santa Barbara... a beautiful location with so many amazing things to look at... well I think Jax was a bit overwhelmed by the trees and coy fish and turtles ...  just tooo much fun ...  so after a little bit of time here we headed to Candice & Michael's home...  where not only Jax, but C & M could relax too.  I've said this before and I'll say it again.. I LOVE photographing people in their homes... its your home... its where you can relax and take off your shoes... and be normal ... and isn't that really what you want captured... what your life looks like in a moment of time... plus then all of a sudden you forget the camera is there...

Take a look at these ADORABLE flippin pictures... although I must ask...  who do you think is REALLY in charge in these pics? ...  I love you C&M  but ... come on...  Jax is definitely the one in control of this photo shoot!!

Candice & Michael, I am soooo thrilled to see how your family is growing... and to have all three of you right back in SB where you belong.  May this first Christmas together as a family be filled with love, light, and lots of smiles.... I know Jax will have that part taken care of!!

Love,
A
