natural blue

I remember showing Jared Braedon’s photos before I shot film and trying to explain that THIS was what I wanted my work to look like. He’s hugely talented, and a nice guy to boot. He identifies himself as a husband and dad, and when I asked him what some of his favorite things were about his family, he said the sweetest things about each child–wild adventurous Rhys, sweetheart Declan, adorable mama’s girl Neela.

Lindsay is the genius behind Jack and June, and one of those light-up-a-room-with-goodness people.

It just makes sense that their kids would follow this trajectory of incredible. But these two aren’t the “you will be great or else” type–it never ceases to move me, seeing all the ways love shows up in a family. Theirs feels a beautiful kind of natural–the kind you want to buy at trader joes. the kind we label some people born with. the kind you can’t always put your finger on but it’s all over the swings and in this salty laid back California blue sky I’m getting used to living under.

Simple kindness, sunny hearts and house full of organic all natural no preservatives added love.

If you need non-cheesy photos of your family this year, I’ve got 2 sessions left for September and 3 for October. Email me and I’ll send you available dates, pricing, and all the goods about what to wear.
