New Website is LIVE!!

At the risk of stating the obvious (since you are already here reading this), I have a new website! Well I should call it a blog-site though seeing as how the blog and website are so integrated together. LOVE IT! There are still a few things I need to finish up, but hopefully it is fairly complete and easy for you to navigate. Again many, MANY thanks to Lilly & Louise for creating my awesome new logo, and I should give a shout out to my 24/7 tech support. Ok that refers to my husband, Zach, and I must say having such tech support in house saves me so much time and energy when I’d probably just be cursing at my monitor otherwise.Oh, and I almost forgot. I now have a mobile web version of the site, so it should help when trying to search images on your handy, dandy phones that we all seem to have with us all the time now!

Adorable Teeball Kiddos

As I continue to meet more people in my awesome new town, I’ve started working with Santa Barbara Parks & Rec in a variety of positions. Recently I’ve teamed up with Albertsons Grocery and Parks & Rec to take some photos of the adorable local teeball league sponsored by Albertsons. Can I just say these kids were a blast to hang out with on a Saturday morning! Still new to the game they were learning all the important rules, like if you are the one running the bases, you shouldn’t chase after the ball just hit from the tee. So cute!! Below are a few photos that will be featured in a variety of ways at Albertsons Grocery stores and on the Santa Barbara Parks & Rec website. Friends and family of these adorable kids, here is a link to a full gallery of images from the day. I am happy to sell digital files and/or prints, just contact me at leah@leahvalentine.com or 805-364-0204.

Under Construction

Hi all, I am in the process of changing my blog and website. Yay for web work! (Is it too early today to grab a beer for this work??) While I work on a customized design, my blog may look a little wonky for a bit. Hopefully all posts will continue to work allowing you to share, but the blog layout may temporarily not be the best. Please send me happy thoughts (and cookies and beer if you feel so inclined) while I make the necessary changes that will hopefully benefit us all in the long run. For now I’ll leave you with a comic illustrating me current thought process!

Funky & Fresh Sisters

Being a teenager today is tough. Seriously. And usually the last thing you want to do as a teen or pre-teen is have your picture taken. Not for these amazing girls though! I’ve known Allie and Bo since they were babies. So many memories of babysitting them, rocking some epic hide & seek games, having Christmas dinners together, and especially how adorable they were as my flower girls on my wedding day. So I was beyond thrilled when I finally had a chance to photograph them. Not only are they absolutely gorgeous, but their confidence and extraordinary personalities make them total perfection. I love the funky accessories we had throughout the shoot and even though it was a pretty windy day, I think it actually worked in our favor. I hope you enjoy some of the photos. Bo’s one Michael Jackson pose cracks me up every time!

Sisters Sneak Peek!

Last weekend I was thrilled to have a chance to photograph the beautiful sisters, Allie and Bo! I’ve known these girls since they were babies and was honored that they allowed me to photograph them, especially since they are now in their sensitive pre-teen and teen years. More to come!
