College Senior Photoshoot with Rachel!

This is one of my very best friends, Rachel Mertensmeyer =) We have known each other for a couple years now and she is a great girl! She's smart, witty, personable, and very fun to be with! She can't help but smile and laugh but we were able to get some serious ones in there too =P When she asked me to do her college senior portraits I couldn't have been more excited! We toured around downtown Santa Barbara today and had a blast. As a thank you she awesomely took Dylan Mayer and I to dinner at Palazzios afterwards and we had a great time together! Check out some of Dylan's pics at www.dylanmayerphotography.blogspot.com - he ROCKS and I'm so stoked to be working with him! He's shooting a wedding this weekend and is going to get some killer shots. Enjoy!

Alice and Bryan E-shoot in SB =D

Alice and Bryan are a rad couple =) I have gotten to know the Bohlinger family over the last couple years and they are very dear to my heart... and I could not have been more excited when I got asked to shoot their wedding! I've known these two for a while and I they are great people and awesome friends. Their wedding is November 30, I can't wait!!

Britni and Tim E-shoot!

Here is my most recent engagement shoot =) Britni, Tim and I all went to high school together and it worked out that we could meet up in Huntington beach for some sweet shots! We ate at BJ's after and it was amazing... I had my first pizooki (YUM) there EVER and I could not believe what I was eating. So good. Thanks Britni and Tim, you guys rock!!

My new bike =)

So in the last couple years I've been a very proud owner of a 2003 Vespa ET4 and have loved having it around Santa Barbara! But... I've ridden a good amount of bikes, also. A dirt bike in Mexico, a BMW 750 in Hawaii for a week, a Harley for a couple days, and then a couple bikes in Peru. I just wasn't able to take it anymore after going to the Ducati shop for the 4th time this year so I just went ahead and bought one =) It is by far one of the best purchases I've made... ever. So thrilling and I love being so free on the road. It has the comfort of a cruiser but the speed and handling of a crotch rocket. Pair that with its 80 horsepower, 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, ability to hit 55 in first gear, and the wonderfully beautiful aesthetics and prestige that only a Ducati has, and yes I'm in love.
