More & more, I get requests from families to do portraits because they are moving away from Southern California & want to remember their time here with some special photographs. Tomomi & Kai are relocating soon, & to commemorate their life in the South Bay, the perfect setting was of course–the beach! We lucked out with beautiful golden light at the end of a balmy spring day. Mommy & son played happily on the beach while I clicked away. Here I thought I’d weave a little story into their images–a story for Kai to take to his new home…<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, in a land called California, Kai & his mommy went to the beach.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

They raced each other in the soft sand…\"\"<\/p>\n

Kai got a piggy back on Mommy to hurry down to the water…\"\"<\/p>\n

And Kai was a happy boy with a stick he found, carving his mark into the earth…\"\"<\/p>\n

And letting mommy write his name for the gentle ocean to slowly lap away…\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And of course, they collected sea shells…\"\"<\/p>\n

And Kai listened intently to hear the sea… \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

As Kai & Mommy strolled near the water’s edge, they happened upon a message in a bottle!\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And Mommy read the message, which was from a little boy named Tyler June…\"\"<\/p>\n

Instructions said to mark who & where you are, & send the bottle on its way again.\u00a0 \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And as the sun slid slowly toward the sea, Kai & Mommy shared some snuggles.\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

“Shall we send the bottle on its journey now?” Asked Mommy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Yes, let’s!” Replied Kai.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And just like the bottle, Kai & Mommy too left the beach & went on their new journey to a faraway place & exciting adventures…\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
