Introducing the great Gatsby…

I first met Gatsby’s humans Brian and Amy while photographing Erin and Matt’s wedding.  Aren’t they just the cutest…

Soooo much love going on here…

I’ve photographed a lot of dogs in my time, but Gatsby wins the prize!  Never before have I had the pleasure of photographing such a sweet and easy going canine model.  Totally love this shot of Gatsby taking in the joys of the beach…

A truly wonderful afternoon of tricks, treats, and sweet details of this very loved Golden Retriever….

Cute little family portrait…

Every retriever’s favorite thing is a quick stroll in the water.  Gatsby was loving this perfect ending to his big day in the spotlight…

Amy and Brian, Beth and I had soooo much fun hanging out with you and that sweet boy of yours!  xoxo

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 sand, and I just love it…

Okay Megan and Ernie, you two are just too darn good looking…

“Hello this is Alilce. Oh hello Hallmark Greeting Cards.  Why, in fact, yes I do have the perfect wedding card photo…”

bliss…

I’m coo coo for this last image…
