One of my favorite portraits to date of the gorgeous @missmelaniemae styled beautifully by @thewellsmakery and made even more impactful by a rich black and white palette. To me, there are moments that are meant to be in color and moments that are meant to be in black and white. It totally changes the way we experience the photo and the moment it captured. Photographer friends, do you feel the same??

I’m normally not much of a beach person - I grew up boating, jet skiing, and wakeboarding on lakes - but I’ve been dreaming lately of sitting on the beach, reading a book, sipping a fruity drink, and just disconnecting for a while. Thus far it’s only a fantasy bc it’s winter, there’s a pandemic, and we have a baby Soooo not sure when this dream becomes a reality but it relaxes me to think about it! .

I love this photo of our whole little family partially because it’s a beautiful, perfectly timed photo, and partially because I can see in my mind’s eye all of the outtakes it took to get us there. If you look closely you’ll see the photographer mom who is attempting to perfect every detail while struggling to rely on a tripod and a remote trigger rather than being able to be behind the lens and in control. The easy going dad who bravely puts his foot where I asked him to even though the cat keeps attacking him. The baby who is (at the moment) happily being thrown in the air and then seconds after this shot broke down in a fit of anger bc he decided he was over it and wanted to eat. And last but not least, the angry cat who wants to be with us yet simultaneously wants to be far away from the noisy baby and who compromises by attacking dad’s feet every few seconds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think when I print and hang this up on the wall I’ll print the outtake that illustrated the above mentioned real life craziness and put it in the back of the frame just to keep it real! 
Getting back in the creative flow these days and reminiscing on my first @themakerseries shoot with the incredible @thewellsmakery out in Durango, CO. These two are not only insanely talented designers and illustrators, they are also incredible humans and I love love loved getting to capture them in their element!
