26 Miles Across the Sea

Oh Catalina, a place that is so near and dear to hearts, I get warm and fuzzies just thinking about all our memories here. Geoff and I technically had our first "date" on the rock. And by date, I mean scuba diving, kayaking, hiking, and buffalo-milks galore! Hard to believe that special, three-day-date was over 5 years ago now. In any case, we are lucky to visit when we can!

Mt. Pinos

A quick trip over 4th of July weekend to the highest point in Ventura County: Mt. Pinos at 8,800 ft. We escaped the heat at sea-level for some elevation hiking, cooking, hammocking and camping. We even got a glimpse of the fire that raged through Kern County earlier this month. These little get-aways are what keep our souls rejuvenated even during one of the busiest seasons of the year. And can't beat that enchanting summer light!

Abri & Kirsten's Santa Barbara Family Session

This little one and her mama could not be any sweeter. We got to capture their mother-daughter lovin' a few months back and are so excited to finally have them up here! Geoff and I don’t have our own kiddos yet, but I hear they grow up way too fast. Kirsten wanted some images of her daughter, Abri, to solidify this moment in time and reflect the enthusiastic, curious little human she's raised.

Santa Barbara Engagements // Perveen & Nick

We have the pleasure to bring to your eyes an afternoon spent exploring the multitude of splendors that Santa Barbara aka "the American Riviera" holds with a mighty fun and classy duo, Perveen and Nick. I, Geoff, represent the male leg of this ever exploring photographic team but must admit that this day would not have happened without the dedicated coordination between my talented wife and the beautiful Perveen.

Johnston's Santa Barbara Family Session

Where to start with the Johnston family!?

First, Papa Johnston, aka Tony, is the funniest + goofiest human being we’ve ever met. No really. Parents even go up to him at Disney Land and tell him so! Tony was one of my (Lynds.) first friends when I moved to California back in 2009. He made moving to another state infinitely easier with belly laughs upon belly laughs and was a mentor and friend when I needed one. Fast forward 7 years and our little families ended up in the same town!
