three reasons I love the Kesslers...

This is the hardest post I have ever had to write, Robyn is my friend, sweet soul sister and partner in Verité, we have been through the good, the bad and the ugly together, and I could not be more blessed to have her in my life. This was the shoot I was most nervous to do, the pressure (I put on myself) was insane but I really love this collection. It is to me how I see the Kessler family.

1. Robyn is the most talented photographer I know. She has a sensitivity to the details that make the an image into a piece of art. I am beyond blessed to photograph with her by my side.
2. Shawn LOVES this woman and I do mean, loves adores and completely supports her... It is an awesome sight to behold.
3. They make decisions based on the golden Rule, and it has taught me to do the same. They both have challenged me to do better for the world.
















Baby Kessler will be arriving any day now... YAY!

peace.

three things to love about rachael...

1. she went from a teenager to a mother in 9 months, even if she hadn't planned on it.
2. she is a gifted artist that has been altering and creating since I can remember.
3. she has the most beautiful, talented and wise middle sister in the entire world.







We went for a walk on mom's farm during a break in the rain with no intention of shooting a maternity session, but when the sun came from behind the clouds, it seemed only proper to make some photographs of her belly even if it was for 5 minutes.

I can hardy wait to meet my nephew and see my little sister as a mom.

peace.
