It was such a pleasure getting the chance to meet Dana and her beautiful family who came up from Chicago for photos. I hope they will reflect the playful and loving vibe her family has. I am leaving this Lake Michigan shoreline tomorrow back to another, equally beautiful place. Cheers to Michigan and new friends.

Patriotic pants, papaya picked off the tree at home. Kiholo Bay baby goat. Jimena, palms. Checking out big goat. Sun bum, Polulu horse. Small prints. Tourists. Dream home. Tourists, Polulu. Veda. Honu. Buddies.

Winter finally arrived here on the Costa Blanca and there is a weird and lonely beauty at the beach. We still enjoy sunny days but the humidity keeps our bones chilly and we are so looking forward to a winter in (wait for it) Hawaii. It has been six years since I have been and I am on cloud nine about to share my childhood home with my little family for the first time. Great things to come .. after we finish dealing with the airline strike, packing, moving, closing projects, bla bla. Stay tuned.

Happy Monday. Feeling good to start the week. Tons of editing ahead including this styled shoot with a runaway bride and groom.

Gioia and Justin's Formentera weekend wedding celebration posts continue. The wedding party had an amazing paella day two at the legendary Restaurante Pelayo on the beach. The polaroids are a fun glimpse into the fest as well. I think I have professed my love of Formentera enough .. so now I am just hoping to be born an Italian in my next life.

baby. new friends. beautiful light.
