BAST FAMILY | ONE DAY

I spent the entire day and night with the Bast family and documented their day. No staging, no direction. Frances, Chris, and Kaya invited me into their home and shared their personal lives with me. It was beautiful.

  

Baby Jack

Good light, without a doubt, makes an image so much stronger. I shot some portraits for Mei and John and their one month old baby Jack, and it was absolutely lovely being able to capture these wonderful moments. It was my first time shooting a family (much less a baby!). We shot late in the afternoon as the sun was starting to go down, and the sun just happened to pass through some trees and it just created the most glorious light. I asked the family to stand where the light looked amazing, waited for the baby to settle down from time to time, and snapped away. Beautiful things happen when you let people be themselves.
