In the Kitchen With Chef Kim Schiffer

Published on November 21, 2011 in Exclusive Videos.

We spend quite a bit of time with the people whose homes take center stage in our architectural features, and we all fell a little bit in love with the Schiffer family, who share their heartwarming tale of rebuilding their Mission Canyon home after losing it in the Jesusita fire (“From Hope to Home”) in the winter issue of Santa Barbara Seasons Magazine.

Family, friends and food are foremost in the hearts of these lovely people, and the food part of that equation is on full video display as Kim Schiffer, a professional chef, gives us a tour of her dreamy “kickass kitchen.”

Trust us, the food was every bit as delicious as it looks!

Fashion Photo Shoot … Santa Barbara Style!

Published on June 16, 2011 in Web Exclusives.

Santa Barbara’s more than just a picture-perfect place to live (or visit!), it’s also a perfect place to shoot pictures.

Fashion: Santa Barbara Style! from Dana Kurth on Vimeo.

Adesso Jewelry, created by Santa Barbara artist Samantha Goldstone (featured in the Winter 2011 issue of Santa Barbara SEASONS), local photographer Lisa Field-Elliot of Doorways Traveler recently shot these stunning photos of the Fall 2011 line on location at local winery Demetria Estate in Los Olivos. Local make-up artist/hair stylist Tomiko Taft was on the shoot as were local models Brandi Wolff and Hillary Souza.

Talk about being stamped with “made in Santa Barbara” style!

All Adesso products are handmade in Santa Barbara, and the jewelry is sold in better boutiques nationwide as well as online at www.adessoshop.com.

 

 

 

Many people are not aware that we have a County Film Commission which provides guidance with permits, locations, crew referrals, lodging, etc.–and this is BIG business, to the tune of $18 million (221 productions, 769 shoot days), with a ripple-down effect of $46 million, according to the more recent annual report from the Santa Barbara Conference & Visitors Bureau and Film Commission.
