making a friend is a beautiful thing. made that way because it is effortless, sweet and soul filling. that would describe my two days with rosie. we are both photographers, i am in cali and she is in canada (see her work here, jaw dropping). we had never met, only admired one anothers’ work from afar. she finally came for a visit! she and that babe in her belly slept in my gracie’s room, we chatted til the wee hours, we ate delicious food, she took interest in my children’s laughter, she cuddled my clementine and she brought a beautiful calm and peace to our chaos. rosie, we miss you! so you know we had to trade photo sessions… i did her pregnancy session and she photographed us in an orange orchard (so excited to see those)! she has baby #4 in the belly and we were going for a very simple theme for her pregnancy session… bohemian bliss. we explored in the blooming mustard fields under the sprinkling of rain clouds in the early morning hours. and then we found the most magical dream of a clementine orchard complete with white wildflowers covering the ground below. she was giddy just eating the ripe fruit off the trees. i feel i made a good friend, the simple, effortless kind of friend where if we were not to see each other for years and years it would still be the same. but hoping for much, much sooner. ;)
Absolutely gorgeous, LOVE the shot of her face on to the camera with the blanket draping over her
