I happen to live in a state that just gives and gives when it comes to incredible locations for photo shoots. Colorado is breathtaking. However, as a creative, it’s always exciting to find yourself in a new environment, inspired by new surroundings.

Having the opportunity to photograph families in Pescadero, CA was nothing short of incredible. Every which way we turned just painted an entirely new canvas. I could get used to this travel photography thing…hmmmmm.

And this family…

It was just so sweet to be near them, so familiar. I’m a momma of four and I was missing my babies.

I know the chaos that is having a big family. I know the frustration and exhaustion. But in those moments when it all just comes together…

They just make it all worth it. And then there’s the moments where despite our best efforts…not everyone’s gonna make it out with a smile.

You just have to laugh sometimes…

And group hug…definitely group hug.
