Head & Heart Photography – Lerina
I was born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico; creativity stoked at a young age by the unconventional Waldorf school philosophy which eventually blossomed into a full-time love and passion for the arts. Home is currently Santa Barbara, California where I’ve been working as a professional lifestyle, editorial and wedding photographer since 2011. When not behind the lens (or my laptop screen in coffeeshops and teahouses), you can probably find me somewhere outdoors – hiking or jetting off on a road trip somewhere.
Head & Heart is a locally focused, exclusive membership photography collective created with the purpose of finding the most talented and motivated local photographers, and connecting them with couples and clients looking to book a photographer whose work and personality they can be confident in. Each member photographer has gone through an application process that consists of a detailed online application requiring information about their experience, skills, goals and more, an interview with me (Kiel Rucker), and (when opportunity permits) shooting with me on one of my weddings or projects. I do not invite a photographer or videographer to a membership with Head & Heart unless I am confident in their talent, personality, experience and their potential to grow as individuals and photographers. Can’t wait to show you what we can do!
