crisis averted

I rarely show so much black and white but I am kind of obsessed with it on this family.

Funny story – they were traveling in a huge RV down the coast of CA, and we were meeting on the Balboa peninsula for their session. Well, when they arrived into town, there was no more room at the inn – NOWHERE to park their RV. The parking lots were packed and if you know the area you know the streets are teeny tiny. We were on the verge of getting stressed out and changing our plans when Erin, (mom), decided to try working her magic on the owner of a liquor store. Whatever she did worked because he let them park in his tiny lot for about two hours. PHEW. Crisis averted. Thank you liquor store guy.

PS – In case you didn’t know, freckles in black and white are EVERYTHING. That’s all.

  1. I love, love, LOVE these pictures. I used to refuse to shoot in anything but black and white. I was obsessed. Now that my world is now digital, I don’t look at pictures nearly enough in b&w.

    I can’t even pick a favorite…you are more than welcome to post more!

  2. The first two things I thought just when seeing the first image was 1. Freckled sun kissed skin – love. 2. I would get that first family portrait as large as possible on a canvas and put it in the most trafficked area of my home. That photo moves me beyond words!!!

  3. What gorgeous images of this beautiful family. Props to mom (or whoever!) for the great styling. I’m loving the stripes and plaids. Love the gritty sand. Love the freckles. Love the b/w. Love the shot of mom and dad smushing faces. <3
