pie + Kellers = good day.

This shoot was a dear one.
One of a very very good friend of mine.
She herself is an amazingly gifted photographer.
One who loves road trips, and books, and exploring and being a family.

Lucky to have met them back at the church Nick and I attended when we first married and to get to know them.

Susan is on that list... you girls know what I mean, the list of women in your life, whose mom wisdom you trust, whose spritutal wisdom you trust,  who tell you drama free, truth, who don't mince words or flatter you, they love you with truth. Straight truth. Im lucky to know her.. and lucky to go spend a day with her family.. where my 4 year old may have asked her teenager out on a polly pocket sort of date.... sorry C man.... its hard being loved. So very hard.

And the P's here.. love you all.... thank you for all the ways you love our family.

First up.. of course is Susan. Shes stunning. Inside and out.

we spent a little daytrip in the sweet town of Julian.... apple country if you will, which of course means pie... really really good pie.

 then it was off to combine her and her hubbys 3 loves... their boys + books + pretty outdoor spaces

first up.. the boys + each of their favorite reads.

a good good day.. even if we drove in circles a wee bit.
