Hello friends.
I love photographing familes in their home. It’s so fun to see what people’s lives are really like. To see what books they read and what they play with in the backyard. Jenna and Ryan sold their house and this was a fun way to memorialize it. =)
Shewanders photographs the amazing PJ as superhero villian
PJ’s parents are clearly the coolest. Neva her mom made this suit for her. You may remember PJ from the infamous David Bowie shoot when she was younger =) I love that PJ has creative parents who like her idea of who she can become to be limitless. Dress up is powerful. It’s fun to explore another side of yourself, just ask any kid. PJ’s interpretation of Uma Thurman’s assassin character is adorable and allowed PJ to show off some of her karate moves. Not all of my days are this joyful but I’m always striving for them to be.

This isn’t my first rodeo with the wonderful Nicoud family. I could count Colin’s freckles all day long and look how cute Camille’s pigtails are =). 2020 means we don’t see each other as often. We have these new things called masks and we don’t hug any more. Still there are beautiful days like this and my heart exploaded to hear their little giggle and shreiks of laughter and to photograph all the tickles and kisses. Camille demanded popcorn. Colin said he doesn’t remember anymore when we went to Hawaii for Taylor’s wedding, it was too long ago. Simon got a new Zoom profile and Laurie wore the coolest hat. Even Diego the dog made a quick drop in. It was beautiful.
