The Blog

As a California Equine Photographer I BELIEVE CAPTURING IMAGES IS A FORM OF STORY TELLING.

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE STORIES of horses and the people that love them.

Santa Ynez Maternity Session

with Style Me Lauren content creator, Lauren Condit

I was so excited to do this Santa Ynez Maternity Session with Style Me Lauren. Style Me Lauren aka Lauren Condit runs a popular blog and Instagram account for fashion, exercise and health. Her passions are living with health, her cowboy husband, and her blue heeler pup named Bull.

I started working with Lauren for her blog content in 2017. Therefore it has been neat to witness the many reiterations of her passions. Additionally, it has always been fun chatting with her about dogs and cowboys in between outfit changes.

Many of our shoots occur at Mattei’s Tavern in Los Olivos. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed in order for it to become a new mini resort. Hopefully the sweet nature of Los Olivos wont be lost in the process. I have to honestly say, I’m super bummed that the restaurant is closed. Arguably, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Since it is currently under construction, we ventured to my friend Lindsay’s property for our shoot.

We had stunning property and a warm summer evening for our session. Therefore, our time together was well spent. Needless to say, our images turned out exactly as planned. I’m so excited to Lauren and Austin to welcome Baby Girl into their lives. Without a doubt, Bull will make a wonderful big brother.

Check out some of the images below from our Santa Ynez Maternity session. Contact me here to book your own.

The “Star Dress” Lauren is wearing in the images at the bottom is owned by Elizabeth Hay Photography. It can be rented as part of your session.

Hey There!

I'm California Equine Photographer Elizabeth Hay. Call me Beth. If you love the smell of fresh hay, a clean horse, the sound of a nicker when you walk towards the stall, and you think dirty boots are better than clean — you're in the right place. Welcome to all the bloggy goodness.

ELIZABETH HAY PHOTOGRAPHY

Where the equestrian and ranch lifestyle meet Art. Inspired by golden sunlight, the sweet scent of hay and the feeling of a glossy, dappled coat.
