This was an extra special session because these cute little models are close to my heart: my son Maddox and his adorable girlfriend Noah. They tagged along with me to Homer when I had sessions in the area and on my one free day we decided to play on the beach. And yes, taking pictures feels like play when it’s my own kid, my whole heart, my joy.
It’s such a wild ride watching your children grow up, walking them through the ups and downs, holding their hands and also letting them go, witnessing love unfold in their own hearts. It’s completely surreal. MESMERIZING. My heart is full.
It had rained an hour or two earlier. But the sun came out and they have nothing but stars in their eyes these days, so it made for something really beautiful. Young love, ya’ll. I’ve smiled until my face hurts editing these photos. My baby grew up on me.
