Suzie of Suzie’s Skin and Beauty Centre, where I have been a client for a little over ten years, had her beautiful family taken to the park to have their photos taken. We were in San Jose at a park and had such a great time. I have become great friends with them over the years and watched their little Shannon grow up. Here are a few of my favorites and a slideshow of their San Jose Family slideshow

An amazing, beautiful couple, so in love, met their friends and family at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens where they were literally surrounded by their guests while they said their vows. The tears were flowing and music playing as Julia walked down the isle. After the ceremony, we headed to the El Paseo Restaurant where everyone danced the night away.

I took some relaxed portraits for Ruth Alpert out in Santa Barbara. Ruth uses the Trager approach.  Ruth defines The Trager® Approach as “an innovative movement re-education modality developed by Milton Trager, M.D. over a 65 year period. The intention is to bring you to a state of deep relaxation, in which you feel loose and limber, free and easy. In this state old physical and mental habits begin to release, allowing for new, more efficient choices to emerge. We use soft touch and gentle, effortless movements, including rocking, swaying, and stretching. These movements can be done throughout the day, thus recreating the release on your own anytime the old tensions arise. The Trager Approach – a pleasant in-the-body experience!

A beautiful September weekend in Arroyo Grande at The Gardens at Peacock Farms.
