we spent last friday at beautiful baker beach in san francisco with the amazing jana contreras. when she offered to photograph our family, we didn't think twice about it. the location was the icing on the cake. the ocean is a place so close to our hearts, myself growing up in a small beach town in northern california, and my husband, the shores of oahu. so many pivotal parts of our relationship have taken place right along the shores of the sea. the beach is our retreat. and san francisco, we'd be crazy to say no. plus, i have been admiring the bright, clean backgrounds seen in so many of her photos for sometime now. if you haven't noticed, bright, natural light and clean lines are kind of my jam.
