Everything about this session was a dream. The Sailors were open to my wardrobe styling and almost every piece pictured here I selected in their styling guide! Mixing and matching colors and textures and accessories helps not only to give some depth and interest to the photo – but makes them stand out from other sessions. Also, planning ahead takes some of the worry and the stress out of the equation = you are able to just show up and love on your people.

We planned this session for a few weeks – I had a clear vision of the look and feel of this shoot and a new location I wanted to try. Not only are they all super good looking people, this entire family is made of kind hearts and warm personalities. I wanted to show their connection, their warmth and their fun and hip sense of style. But not only the wardrobe, documenting their wild hair, summer skin and sweet little smiles were so important for me to capture.
