It’s just really cool having someone that shares my passion for photos and kind of ugly 90’s dresses around.
I became friends with Ashley via the magic of Instagram. When she moved down south from LA we talked about getting together. It took us about a year. Sometimes I hold back with new people, but this time I quickly saw that I had met someone who not only appreciates my own personal brand of weird, but can throw it right back at me with her own.
Her two young boys take me back ten years, they remind me so much of my two man children when they were that age. They love my “big kids” and my big kids love having new “little apprentices”. We’ve been able to hang out a few times over the last couple of months, and each time the sun goes down and the kids go feral with hunger, I wish we had more time together.
You can see Ashley’s photos from this afternoon in Laguna here.

A little bit of business info:
The May DC/NC trip has completely booked up, but I have a few spots left in Seattle. Contact me if you’d like to book a session together while I am there.
A photo friend is the best! Especially if they’re equally weird… Our kids are grown, but we LOVE to get together and spend time photographing – places, sometimes each other (in costumes!! so much fun!), friends, textures, and then going back and uploading pics across from each other at the table and sharing favorites, editing together, just being together… Wish we lived closer so we could join you two!
How did I not know you were going to be in DC/NC? I am so sad I missed this. Next time… At least I have your gorgeous photos of other happy families to inspire and lift my soul.
Now I’ll go eat some chocolate. ;)
