For a special someone’s birthday, we planned a special little surprise. Though she probably saw it coming (the six hours of airplane mode kind of gave it away), she was blindsided by our Santa Barbara getaway. I on the other hand came prepared with the Pentax 67 ready to capture the weekend with a little color, a little black and white, and a whole heap of California light (see what I did there?)

More Santa Barbara after the break.

She was excited to rock the new Berks.

More excited to arrive at El Encanto.

But he was even MORE excited to take the drone out over the bluffs.

But the best part was ending the trip by the pool.

And spending some quality time with the little man.
