And now for the portraits. Ernie gazing, Megan beaming, and some yummy Santa Barbara sunshine… I think these next two images are becoming sort of a signature set for me. I love the cheek kiss, and I love processing them in this vintagey-sepia-love. Love the sunsets in Santa Barbara! Michelle drew this cute heart in…
The first time we met in person was on their wedding day, yet they felt so familiar… Megan and Ernie are wonderful people… truly lovely. Their wedding day was beautiful, and seemed to flow so easy without stress and complications (minus one ornery zipper on a bridesmaid’s dress). I’ll start of this post with some…
[...] a wedding day session. Michelle did an excellent job drawing this perfect heart, in the sand, at Megan and Ernie’s beautiful Santa Barbara [...]
Sick ring shot!!!
I love how determined she looks with that camera!
The junior photographer set her mouth very determinedly with that point and shoot. What a shot!
What a lovely wedding – especially like the “crowd shots” – - you get the whole experience….
I’m still working on the slide show and formal blog post for Megan and Ernie’s incredible Santa Barbara wedding. For now, I just HAVE to share with you this beautiful photograph of Megan. I love everything about this image… Megan, you are gorgeous! Thank you again for including me in your wedding day. xoxo, Alice…
I love everything about this photo too – truly beautiful.
Love this photograph! Would love to get together sometime. I’m from the Bay Area and went to UCSB, so it was so exciting to see this!!!
Truly beautiful!
I’ve been living in Central New York for about two years now. Yesterday, however, was the first time I drove to Ithaca; and already, I can’t wait to go back. The drive was filled with amazing rural landscapes, which I hope to photograph in the springtime, if not sooner. I didn’t have time {to stop…
“Whose kids are these??!!!!”
If you can just hold still we’ll have PIZZA for DINNER!!
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!”
“You just won an all expenses paid vacation to Disney World!”
I “hear” ‘Mom, Mom, Mom’ … ‘Dad, Dad, Dad …’
Maybe that’s just from my own personal experience! :)
I’ve been in business for myself for about fifteen years… give or take. Throughout all of those years, I’ve been the girl wearing ALL of the hats… photographer (that is my favorite one), marketer, accountant, errand girl, editor, etc. If you have ever been in business for yourself, you know there are A LOT of…
[...] this next engagement session with you, but had to wait as I knew it was going to be featured on my sister’s brand new dog blog [...]
The pictures are wonderful. My cousin Beth looks just like she did 20 years ago.
Good to meet you in New Orleans – wasn’t that city amazing? I’ll be in touch.
Nice shots and great team! Congrats to you both!!!
ABP, Chicago
Thanks for the awesome introduction :) . I am so excited to be working with you! You have amazing skills as a photographer and with me working on some of the other things, you’ll be able to concentrate on the things you’re best at! Like you always say, “Two Pattersons are better than one!” (Of course usually we’re just trying to open the ketchup bottle).
It looks like you guys will make a great team!
This morning my sister Beth (aka my newly anointed studio manager) and I hopped on a jet (blue that is) to New Orleans. We are here to attend the Pictage Partner Conference; and let me tell you, we are beyond excited! If you are going to be there, drop us a line and let’s get…
Great meeting you and beth. Such a fun few days in NOLA! KIT ;)
The colors of fall here are so amazing… I mean super aaaaammaaaaazzzziinnnggg! The contrast of being in sunny southern California one day, and back in New York’s fall the next is striking. It feels like I have on rose colored glasses… but I don’t! The colors against the bright blue sky are simply breathtaking! Well,…
Love the new blog!!! And you DO live in a gorgeous neighborhood! Blessings : )
wow, these colors ARE amazing! we don’t really have seasons where i come from, so to see it like this is beautiful!
