Veils & Tails Photography

I'm a Santa Barbara-based photographer, available for travel, specializing in weddings, pet portraits and family portraits. I would love to chat with you!

Find me on Yelp! https://www.yelp.com/biz/veils-and-tails-photography-santa-barbara-4 Visit www.VeilsAndTailsPhoto.com for samples, details and pricing information, or follow me on Instagram for daily eye candy! I'm a professional photographer of pets, families, and weddings. To say that I'm a dog person is a very minimalist description. I'm obsessed! And I surround myself with them most days. Big, small, old, young, nice, rude, I love them all! They tend to like me too. As for families, which includes pets... I enjoy capturing little moments in great lighting. I do on location shoots all around Santa Barbara. And of course weddings. This beautiful day is safe with me! I have very competitive rates, and a lot of experience to back it up. I've worked everywhere, so my SB location is not limiting! For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times!

A little love for the dogs who make our love that much better.

Not your typical Santa Barbara sunset, but the rocky rustic vibes were the stuff of my dreams, and such a sweet couple to share it with! 🏝️

A lil twirl during your evening walk keeps the spark alive. ✨

M+E in a special spot close to their hearts, with their sweet Daisy girl. ⁠

Santa Barbara has seen more rain in the last couple of months than I can actually remember in my lifetime (I’m from here!), with lots of big downpours. This has resulted in this beautiful lake being quite full, which adds a welcome magic to a sunset engagement session in the park! I just love the combo of wild foreground and sparkly background, and OF COURSE a sweet, down to earth couple who’s madly in love, and their dog.

One fierce mama lioness awaiting her cub. ⁠
⁠
This was definitely one of my favorite sessions from last year, and my third time working with this couple - engagement, wedding, maternity (and next comes the baby in the baby carriage?) I really can’t put into words how special it is to be the one capturing these core life moments, for my photos to adorn your walls and memory books.

I have been wanting to put this wedding up since... 2022! Ha! That’s just nuts to me. 2023 was my busiest business year ever, and then I had a baby, and time entered some sort of vortex. But here’s to tiny accomplishments - it’s finally on the blog! And here, for you! ⁠
⁠
Please enjoy the gorgeous warm glow of these two wonderful human beings, and the rowdy scenes from the crowd-surfing reception and the pill-bug group dance moves I still talk about all the time!⁠

Adoptable puppies!!
⁠
Recently I visited a friend’s house ( ) while she was fostering 12 (TWELVE) rescued pups AND their mama! I came back with my camera, and what ensued was complete. chaos. Sooo many puppy teeth! I created a most adorable flower basket set-up which was demolished within seconds. No puppies were harmed in the making of these photos of course, but I can’t say the same for my heels or sandals, and one basket didn’t make it. But I managed to snap a few shots which I do consider miracles!⁠
⁠
As soon as I was done of course they were calm and ready for their naps. And I did steal some snuggles from one or two, and those little puppy breaths... sigh. ⁠
⁠
These babies are adoptable through now!

Why hello 2026! Oh are you leaving, 2025? We barely got to chat! Wait 2024’s gone too?! Feeling all spun around at this New Year’s party. But I hope to be more of a regular in your feed this year! I have no actions I plan to take, just hope and motivational thoughts.⁠
⁠
For now please enjoy some getting ready shots from one of many lovely weddings I was honored to photograph last year. I love catching these moments, especially between mom and daughter. There’s always such soft, supportive energy.
