these three. so much love in one house. and how could there not be with this little blue-eyed lulu running around, spreading her magic all over. add some los angeles sunshine and a beloved crocodile puppet and voila, a favorite family session to date.
this mama is one of the best around. so genuine, so lovely inside and out. her kindness will melt you into a puddle and your four year old will covet her "elsa braid" every time you run into her. this little family of three (soon to be four!) welcomed me into their warm and musical home and gave a peek into their daily life. it's an intimidating thing, opening your home and giving free reign to someone else to document every nook and cranny. i never take for granted the trust that my clients give me as i step into their personal, safe space. christie expressed her hesitations about shooting in their home but as her husband's job will move them to oregon soon, she recognized the desire to document their time here in california as a family, to record the little spot they brought their newborn baby to. and i'm so glad they did. thank you for sharing this tender season of life with me, mcguires. xo
bernie + rachel make lovely little girls. the kind that bring joy into any room they enter - but also sass and spirit in the best way. like i'm already a little jealous of the woman mavis is going to become. they're a family full of musical talent (have a listen to loud forest's latest release) and lovely habits like reading the newspaper. i feel that these in-home sessions are the most important images i can be taking right now and it was so good to hear rachel talk about the way she felt when she saw them - tiny snippets of their every day, preserving these very sweet, sometimes very trying years with littles. i want to take photos of the beauty in the every day. the little pieces of reality that will be precious and important for years to come. thanks for sharing your dear family, chadwicks.
