Photographers near Santa Barbara

“I booked a newborn session with Tristin before my son was born. Tristin was amazing about scheduling the session with a lot of flexibility given he was due around Christmas and we didn't know exactly when he would come. Before our session, I was really nervous about how disorganized our home might appear in the photos, given the demanding nature of the newborn period as first time parents. Tristin assured me that no preparation was needed and that she could tidy up areas as needed. She also helped me decide what outfits would be best for us. She guided us with genuine warmth and care throughout the session. We did not feel rushed and could take breaks if needed to attend to our baby. She was able to create a calm atmosphere in a way that our real happiness shined through. She made our home, and us, look beautiful, bringing out the best in our little family without any of the chaos. It was truly heartwarming to see our joy through her lens, captured so purely and elegantly. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the beauty and brightness of your family life, even during the sleep-deprived haze of the newborn stage, then I would highly recommend Tristin. Her ability to encapsulate the joy of new parenthood in every shot is just incredible. You'll not only end up with stunning photos but also a wonderfully positive experience. I also appreciated the beautiful album that came in a timely manner. It now stays on our coffee table and our guests love flipping through it.“

“Leah does our family photos every year because she is wonderful! Family photos can be stressful - and our kids are chaotic! - but Leah is calm and flexible, and captures everyone perfectly even when the kids get covered in dirt right before the photos, or are running around and making weird faces during the photos. I am still incredibly happy with the results! Absolutely recommend Leah for photos.“
