I am back on the island after the most amazing trip back home to Santa Barbara.  It was probably the most relaxing, fun week I'd had in almost a year... thanks to all my friends for making my visit home so awesome!!

Now that I'm back to Home  #2 .. .I thought it would be fun to start doing more island portraits AND vacation shoots... last year I had a blast photographing my brother and his family at the beach and it gave me the idea.. how cool would it be to have your family vacation documented every year... have a book made.. .and then over the years you begin to see how your family has grown up and multiplied all while on vacation... laughing, smiling, doing things you don't necessarily get to do everyday!! 

Another thought I had was this...  just think it's November... all of a sudden the year has gotten away from you and you think.. "OH SHOOT... holiday cards... darn it and we don't have an updated family picture"... well, again ... why not do it while on vacation...

so if you are headed to the island at all this summer and are interested in having some pics taken look me up!
