The mother daughter relationship is the stuff of legend, or at the very least many stories and poems. While I'm not a writer, I do tell stories using images and this story is tender and sweet. On this later summer morning I met a warm hearted mother and her adorable baby girl on the beach for a truly enjoyable photoshoot. We spent the hour mostly watching the little one explore the sights, sounds and textures of the west coast beach. I snapped photos when it felt appropriate but it was more like a heart-to-heart between mothers, as we told our motherhood stories and took in this moment.Â
I often find that the best sessions are those where I don't worry to much about the photography and just connect with the people. Family photo season is in full swing, and while I do love weddings most of all, I am looking forward to the relaxed atmosphere that accompanies fall family photos (and my wonderful return clients!)
