THE Marina Miller was in town a few months ago from her home in Hawaii. I had the pleasure, (NAY the privilege!), of meeting her entire family and taking them to a new spot I found while garage sale-ing. She is one of my favorite friends to follow online, and it was so good to spend time with her and her boys.
I love:
that everyone wore regular clothes and didn’t get “dressed up for a photo shoot”
the ‘hawaiian express” tattoo peeking out
the light coming through the trees
the little hand grabbing big brother’s t-shirt,
and then the sweet hands holding onto elbows right after
Dad’s socks/shoe combo
Marina’s red belt (I have the same dress & we are both too tall to wear it as one) and seashell earrings (perfect way to bring a touch of home into the session)
Marina’s genuine and contagious open mouth laugh
that the boys loved this place as much as I thought they would
the differently exposed ‘in between’ shots
the black/white shot of the three boys
that one of the boys gave her the flower tucked behind her ear
how they turned a log into a see-saw
the cold, sweet sodas at the end of the warm, sticky shoot
Love you Marina, Jason + crew!
