JESSE + WHITNEY + GRACYN.

the fact that i’m doing a post on jesse and whit and their little boy, gracyn, is a little crazy to me. it wasn’t too long ago that i was admiring their work from afar. now, we’re friends. and collaborators. and i couldn’t be happier. they are a constant source of inspiration, a wealth of knowledge, and two of the kindest, gentlest souls you’ll ever meet. jesse and whitney were in los angeles a few weeks ago to photograph a wedding (which i tagged along for!) so we found some time during their quick trip to do a little family session. if you haven’t visited their site before (i’m sure you probably already have), do so now. and leave them nice comments. and then come back and visit me. and leave me nice comments, too. mw

July 15, 2009 - 7:14 am renee anne - there is something about the most that makes me say. "this is my most favourite yet" Maybe it is the poeple. maybe it is the boy. Or maybe it is the random kid buying ice cream. Or maybe you are just amazing. Please come to australia and photograph my life.
