Jennifer and I are “imaginary” friends (Owen’s term). We met on a rather large photography forum only to find that we live right in eachother’s back yard (that’s not totally true because if I lived in her backyard I’d be swimming in the ocean). We decided it would be great to do a session swap, but really, images of your family (esp for a photographer who is never in them), are priceless. So instead of calling it a swap, it’s more like a gift and a regift!
I met up with Jen and her awesome family and they took me to their favorite beach. And what a beach it is! Although I love Devereux Beach for it’s location, this beach has WAY better sand! And it has this fabulous grassy area with neat little paths and hideaways, so completely perfect for catching late afternoon light (and containing little boys that like to run!). Jen’s family is really gorgeous. You know how I get all excited over long haired boys, their boy is just beautiful. And her husband is really great. He’s a very talented fine art photographer. And if you can believe it, we totally failed to make the Greek connection. I am fairly certain had we done that, I would have suggested finding some ouzo somewhere and quite possibly would not have made it home to my family until very late!
Jen, thank you SO much! I am really looking forward to my session with you. I am really happy I made a new friend in the area and that you are no longer imaginary! I’ll get the rest of the files to you at some point soon!
(extra big sneak peak, just because!)
Kristina, your photos of my family are so incredible. Not only is your work gorgeous, but you made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. You already know this but I cried as soon as I saw these photos. What you did for us means so much to me and I love the way you wrote about the experience. Soooo talented!
