Sand & Seawater – family beach shoot

“Each year, we rent a house at the edge of the sea and drive there in the first of the summer—with the dog and cat, the children, and the cook—arriving at a strange place a little before dark. The journey to the sea has its ceremonious excitements, it has gone on for so many years… Continue reading Sand & Seawater – family beach shoot

EDITING PRESETS. Yes, no, maybe?

Ask any photographer what kind of editing they do on their images and you'll get a variety of answers.

BOOTS AND ALL

What I really love about them... is the fact that they contain someone's personal history...I find myself wondering about their lives.
