superfamily.

This is the superfamily of superhero blogger/jewelry designer Andrea Scher.

I had followed her blog for years and on my last trip up to the bay, I made plans to photograph them. For some reason, she was on my mind and I was moved one night to offer them a session. They were expecting their second child, and I just felt like it was an important time to be photographed, and I wanted to be the one to do it. Lucky for me, she said yes. Andrea and her boys allowed me in and trusted me with their connections and love. All of them are very comfortable in front of a camera and it was so fulfilling for me to capture such honesty and free-ness of spirit.

We hung out at home for a bit, and then headed out to the park. A normal, daily routine that they now can remember forever. I feel like the perfect way to describe them and these photos is: AS IS. They came to me as is, and it was just what I needed.

If you’d like, you can read about Andrea’s thoughts here on her blog. You can also congratulate her on the recent arrival of Nico Boon!

  1. I absolutely love Andrea and her family. this is a perfect capture of the blessing of an ordinary day. But this reverence for the ordinary is one of the most magical gifts a camera artist can give to someone. It’s beautiful to witness.

  2. as the universe grows, so does your photography. you have posted recently that you are growing and changing, it shows in your work. there’s no doubt that there is beauty all around us, but i love when you share yours with us <3

  3. beautiful, beautiful session! makes me want to grab the camera, the family and run out the door. my fave’s are the the one of just their feet on the bed, and the kid’s back with a hat heading out the door.

    really special set me thinks

  4. love these! the shot of the parents holding their son’s hand- how do you get that shot? are you down flat on the ground? and just have them walk by you? love it!
    you are great!

  5. I am blown away by your talent. I crave to see the world the way you do through your lens. It is beyond moving to see the openness, love and joy this family exudes in your pictures. Wow.
