like a shoebox of photographs :: gilbert family photographer

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer…

~”Better Together”, jack johnson

This family has a special place in my heart.  When we met a few years ago, we forged a fast friendship. Grace is the creative force behind Finley and Oliver (the clothing line, that is–she is one half of the creative force behind the actual Finley and Oliver you see here), a darling line of children’s clothing that everyone wishes was still available. For now, we are content with reading the musings of Grace on her wonderful blog–raising chickens, tutorials and photography.  Such an interesting and kind family, I just love them to pieces.

They have such a wonderful sense of style and I knew that these locations would be perfect for them–eclectic, interesting and ones that told a story.  They are so at ease in front of the camera and it was such a treat to photograph their love and interaction…
