Yesterday, Eugenia (my lovely assistant) and I headed north to Petaluma to photograph Ava & Roman and their handsome pony, Fletcher. We had amazing light, great kids, and a unique location…you don’t need much more than that. While I downloaded images last night I was reminded why I love photographing kids so much. They are unpredictable, dramatic, a little crazy, complicated, serious, endearing, energetic, sweet, and adorable (most of the time). Naturally, they make photography pretty easy. Just as long as you love and respect the nuances of kids and I certainly do.

Enjoy the sneak peek of Roman & Ava’s shoot. I love the Where the Wild Things Are, mom-pile below. I think that image sums up being a mom pretty well.

A big thanks to Roman, Ava, Kate, and Michael for a great shoot! Please stay tuned for more!

p.s. I’m proud of myself that neither Eugenia or I managed to step in horse poop!
