mckenna didnt quite have the motor skills to figure out how to throw her body head first on her stomach down a slippery piece of finite plastic that caused “plastic burn” on the stomachs and shins of her siblings.
or maybe she did and thought everyone else was crazy.
knowing mckenna, i can see either being true.

i had the loveliest of times with the mountjoy family, who radiated love and joy for each other, and who took me out to lunch at joe’s crabshack when we were finished.
these beautiful women live on a working ranch, and on a college tour of california, stopped off in newport beach to meet me.mothers and daughters are so inspiring for me to work with, probably because of the amazing relationship i have with my own mom. it really does seem like only a week ago that i was 16 years old and she was still trying to cuddle me on her lap…these girls were super fun to work with, loved my ideas, (or pretended to) and most importantly, loved each other very much. it was plain to see.
as this guy came into my peripheral vision as i was shooting her in this spot, i thought-keep on coming, keep on coming…i LOVE capturing surfers in the background at the beach.
