Here is the second session from our trip to Santa Barbara. I photographed two sisters back to back. This sister went second. (The first session/sister can be found here.)
I walked over to them immediately after photographing her sister and brother in law having a romp in the shore break. They both looked at me and said, “We are so not going to do that.” And we all laughed and laughed. I told them that was perfectly fine by me, and off we went.
I always thought I would have all girls. Creating two boys came as a surprise to me, but I wouldn’t change it for a second. I LOVE what I call ‘boy energy’. Not everyone can understand or appreciate it, but I completely can. Boys are just ….. incredible. And so are girls, in a completely different way. Going from a family of three boys to a family of three girls meant a quick switch of my own energy, and it was a great learning experience on how to give what you need to give as a photographer.
Can you see why I just fell for all of them hook, line, and sinker?
Just beautiful, in and out.
I left these two families with so much happy energy, grateful for my job, my life, and my own family.
