This is a session that I really like to look at. It seems so effortless and simple and real and beautiful – the love we can see breathing through the images. There were so many things that just clicked together on this lovely evening at the beach in low tide. The tire tracks in the sand, the emptiness, the light, the wind. I can’t get enough of the girls’ hair blowing in the wind. I can’t get enough of the amazing interactions they graced me with.
