A Warm Nautical Family

I am going to start this post by saying, YES, I am 100% trying to warm my soul on this blistery snowy day by posting these warm and sunny photos from The Hetzer’s summer session. 

When Ashley and I started chatting about photographing their family we both new we wanted them to be something special. Not ordinary. Ashley is such an amazing creative person. She has a fashion degree and makes amazing jewelry from purposed things. You can see her Instagram page, The Ogled Object here. So I knew these were going to be fun! 

We both decided on a fun, whimsical nautical theme. We headed out to my dads house on the lake. I LOVE it out there. Everything is so pretty. Halfway through our sessions my dad asked if we wanted to go on a boat ride and everyones eyes lit up. It was a resounding YES! It was little Bears first boat ride and you can see his excitement and enjoyment in the photos! 

These are some of my favorite family photos. I always love hanging around Ashley, she is truly inspiring and stirs up creativity every time we get together! You can check out more of our collaborations here and here.
