I've got one week left before I hit the road again... and about 2 weeks before I hit the freezing (and I mean FREEZING cold... we are talking -22 degrees) weather of northern Michigan.
So... the last week I've been soaking in the gorgeous SB sun... hiking, wine tasting, hanging out at my favorite ranch in Santa Ynez, eating my favorite seafood on the harbor.. and catching up with all my favorite SB people... basically doing some of my favorite things.
Here are just a couple pics from my phone of my little life in SB... (I know I live on the beach and there are no beach pics... I forgot my phone if you can believe it . .believe me I was there too).
No matter what weather you live in I hope you are enjoying it and soaking it up!!

I just wanted to write a quick little note of how wonderful it was to come home last night to a pile of holiday cards... Every year I am surprised by these little gestures that mean so much. During a time when life is running circles around many of us... to be thought of and remembered by friends and family always means so much.
I know for me, making the list, picking/designing the card... and the toughest for me... Post office... stamps... and getting the addresses right... the other thing I came home to was a pile of RETURNED holiday cards that I attempted to send... ughhh... guess they will be Chinese New Years cards...

Anyways... a big THANK YOU... to all of those who sent me cards... and all of those who sent me cards that had them returned... (as I realize some of you have 7 different addresses for me)...
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday... and are enjoying the freshness and excitement of the new year. (I am doing this... by sleeping in my own bed ... as I'm finally home after 3.5 weeks of couch surfing)... I get a whole month before I do it again...
Happy January 7th!

Here I am at 12:40 a.m. on the 26th of December... finally blogging a little Christmas spirit... I've just been too busy having fun on the winter wonderland that is Mackinac... and playing with the family in Cleveland... which included me kicking some "Michael Jackson Experience" butt on the wii... finally a game I can play... dancing... music... and great 80's/90's music... perfect!!
So here are a few pics from the island last week.. and a couple from my crazy awesome family Christmas...
What happens when you put 40 Slovenian and Polish peeps in a room ...
lots of klebasa and kielbasa (yes there is a difference.. .Slovenian Klebasa. is WAY better)
lots of laughter...
and the best part... a cut throat secret Santa gift exchange... this year was especially controversial... who would have thought a Blender could cause such a stir... hahaha .. get my pun...
I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.. no matter what it is you celebrate... may it be full of love, joy, laughter... and a little bit of mischief too!
Love

My last few weeks in Cali before heading to the cold for the holidays I squeezed in a few portrait shoots...
take a look...
My first weekend back was Leo's 1st birthday party on a beach in Montecito. Then the next week it was off to San Fran for Dylan's first portrait shoot and Aoibheann's (pronounced Aveen) time in front of the camera. Finally back to Santa Barbara to photograph Ulrike and her fun family for their holiday cards.
I've said this before... it is so fun to watch families grow.. from weddings to babies to toddlers...
In case you are trying to keep track of my travels... I am currently a bit colder then usual in Michigan... just came back from the island... heading to Ohio tomorrow then back to the island for New Years... as the usual my whirlwind midwest tour in snow..
If anyone is interested in a portrait shoot I'll be around for a bit and am offering a free brag book with any standard portrait shoot.
Have a wonderful week!
