the magic of childhood

I’ve been participating in a workshop by photography virtuoso Yan Palmer called Teethkiss that has sort of changed my life…and along with it, my art. This was my first session since delving into it, and I feel like my work is taking on a different meaning. I’m seeing things more intentionally. Of course, there are still your more traditional family photos included in the gallery but this session focused around a little girl, whose parents adore her and who has the wildest, most beautiful hair. It is a depiction of childhood. The balance of being safely encircled in loving arms, and the freedom of roaming in an open field, throwing grass in the air and letting it fill you with the purest joy.

The Eastbourn family

This is one of my favorite ever families, especially in front of the camera! Mix this kind, beautiful family (with a little one on the way!), some gorgeous greenery in the mountains, and the result is magic. I am so grateful for these return clients, and can’t wait to photograph them and their newest addition again soon!
