I know you’re thinking, “no way! it’s only September!”  But you know how this time of year is…once October rolls around the next two months will fly right by us which is why I am reminding all my clients on the blog (and via email!) about Holiday Cards!  If you’ve signed up for my newsletter, then you’ll so be in-the-know next week!  The image below is just one of the many cards that I am offering this year so you don’t want to miss out!

I will also be offering photographic petite sessions for those who just need updated family photographs and images for holiday cards and holiday gifts!  Be on the lookout for blog post soon with details :)

i heart restoration hardware! {santa barbara family photographer}

September 9, 2010 | inspiration

I mean, who doesn’t love Restoration Hardware?  They sent their delicious catalog to me last week and it was all I could to keep myself from jumping in the car and driving down to their store (yes, I have one nearby…so lucky, and yet, so dangerous!).

I wanted to share this scanned image because I love shelving and I love frames…such a different feel than just hanging frames upon the wall, but also a great space saver for those with little wall space!

Happy Thursday!

  • rebecca: love this whitney! (09.14.2010 10:27am)

flat stanley {santa barbara family photographer}

September 8, 2010 | personal

I haven’t blogged anything personal, well, really anything lately so I decided to share a personal story today…

Last week I received a really fun package from my oldest nephew in Charlotte, NC.  I opened the envelope and found a letter, a booklet and a laminated cutout of my nephew.  The letter consisted of a story about a “boy” named Flat Stanley and a plea for my help to educate Jackson’s class about my town/part of the country…so of course I’m going to help out my nephew!  In fact, I’m a little on the competitive side so I’m going to make sure we, I mean, Jackson gets an A+ on this assignment!  So far, Flat Jackson has sailed with me and friends to Santa Cruz Island (part of the Channel Islands)…good thing he’s laminated…we got a tad wet on the way out there!  The next day Flat Jackson, myself and Uncle Mike visited my favorite Santa Maria winery, Riverbench.  Hopefully his teacher will realize that viticulture is an important part of California tourism!!  ;)

I definitely plan on photographing Flat Jackson more throughout this project but here are a few snapshots from my phone…

Flat Jackson and us enjoying some Champagne…I’m such a fun aunt!  ;)

So where all should we take Flat Jackson?!

  • beverly: LOVE it!!!! hope Flat Jackson has a ball in California... How about Legoland? Mike might like an excuse to go back there ;) (09.08.2010 03:56pm)
  • whitney: yeah, i'd kinda like to go again too! (09.08.2010 03:59pm)
  • Making memories – Bald Head Island style « Life with Sweet Peaches: [...] and one of my sisters and her children, so we all traveled to the coast together. {We missed Whitney, but she was having her own adventure.  It just happened to be on the opposite coast.}  It IS [...] (09.09.2010 07:43pm)
  • Carol: I'll bet Flat Jackson would love to take a trip up north on the 101 in a rented 2010 convertible camaro with Whitney at the wheel!! I can just see his hair blowing in the breeze (maybe not)!! Or a trip to a Dodgers game, but don't forget to take a ball glove for him so that he has a better chance of catching a fly ball!! Or what about a trip to the Santa Barbara zoo and don't forget to buy some peanuts for him to feed the monkeys!!! (09.10.2010 11:41am)
  • whitney: hmm, i'm liking all those ideas, especially the camaro idea! (09.10.2010 11:46am)
