Wishery.

Sunlight and Laguna Beach.
Salty skin and tangled hair.
Soaking up the moment while the sun went down and wishing it would never end.
California, you still have my heart.

5. Lucy Stearns Gleason says:

   Wow, Sheye. All of the images take my breath away, but I can’t stop looking at the second to last one. It looks like a Tara Whitney “In Between” of your whole family. Amazing and beautiful. I am mesmerized.

   
6. sheye says:

   Thanks so much Lucy. I have an ongoing love affair with blur :) It’s actually not my family, just some strangers! Glad you like it, thanks again! xx

   
7. Lucy Stearns Gleason says:

   I didn’t think so, but was wondering if somehow a shot got set up, and a ripple or post in the water created the effect. It is still beautiful and dreamy as are all your images. You have such a gift.

    Oh, the one of Ivy’s feet and the third of her jumping. Simply took my breath away!!

    
22. Eileen says:

    OMGosh that one of Ivy in the middle staring straight at the camera. Wow Wow…
    The very first photo reminds you how quickly time flies by and you almost have a teenager on your hands. He looks so grown up and wise … He is a old soul isn’t he?

    I can see how much you love it there, through your eyes, your vision captured in photographs. The love is pouring through like the sunlight.

    
37. jamie says:

    oh Sheye… sometimes Ivy looks so much like Ava that it just takes the breath right out of me… I wonder sometimes how you love that about her. I’m sure the reminders of Ava surround you and bring you both peace & heartache all at once. I think of her often…. though I have never known your family- I have followed the blog for years and years. anyhow…. just chiming in to comment on all the beauty that both of your girls possess.
