🎄✨ Calling all Santa Barbara locals! ✨🎄 🎄✨ Calling all Santa Barbara locals! ✨🎄

I’m bringing back my 12 Days of Christmas Local Love Series — where I highlight amazing small businesses right here in our community! 💚

I’d love your help — drop your favorite local product or business below 👇 that deserves some holiday spotlight this year! Let’s lift up our neighbors and spread that small-biz magic again.

💃 And… the Traveling Dress is BACK this month for 3 days only! This stunning gown (for girls size 10-16) is all about confidence, creativity, and self-expression. Whether she feels bold, strong, silly, or fierce — we’ll create images that celebrate who she truly is. 🌟

📩 Message me to grab a spot or nominate your favorite Santa Barbara business!

✨ Big news! ✨ Today I toured my Simply Me gall ✨ Big news! ✨
Today I toured my Simply Me gallery location, and my heart is bursting—because NEXT MONTH the exhibit begins!

📅 First Thursday, November 6th from 4–7pm will be a true celebration. The children I’ve photographed—ages from almost one to 13—will be honored like the VIP celebrities they truly are. 🌟

💖 This project is all about lifting kids up, showing them their worth, and celebrating their unique spirit.

The exhibit will stay up all month long in November for the entire community to enjoy and appreciate. 🖼️✨

I cannot wait to see these amazing kids shine!

✨💫 The Traveling Dress is Back This Fall! 💫✨

Last year, Santa Barbara tweens & teens stepped into the Traveling Dress — not just to “dress up,” but to be seen, celebrated, and powerful in their own unique way.

This year, the gown is here for ONE weekend only:
💙 Royal blue + silver starfall gown — bold, sparkly, unforgettable.

And the magic? ✨ The session is built around her. Whether she’s fierce, dreamy, athletic, artistic, or totally rockstar — she doesn’t just wear the dress, she OWNS it.

📸 Girls sizes 10–16
⚡️ Only a few sessions available
🌙 One weekend before the gown moves on

Moms — she’ll outgrow the dress, but she’ll never forget how you made her feel. 💙

👉 Reserve her spot now! Link in bio.

✨ So fun to have my hometown buzzing this weeken ✨ So fun to have my hometown buzzing this weekend as so many amazing people—Taylor Swift, Martin Short, Paul Rudd, Steve Martin, and more—came to celebrate the beautiful wedding of Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco! 💍🥂

We found out about the big “I do” right after our weekly family TV night watching Only Murders in the Building (perfect timing, right?!). 🎬❤️

Wishing them a marriage as joyful and magical as the love that surrounded them this weekend. 💫💖

Today is National Daughters Day! 💕 As a mom of Today is National Daughters Day! 💕

As a mom of a daughter, this day always resonates with me — I get it, I feel it, and I celebrate it right alongside you. The bond between moms, daughters, and sisters is something so special — filled with laughter, love, eye-rolls, and unforgettable moments. 🌸

Here’s to raising strong girls, cherishing these connections, and celebrating all the amazing ladies in our lives today and every day. 💫
