During winter in the PNW it feels like we’ll be in cold, wet cloud forever. There isn’t much daylight to work with and I’m craving warm sunshine on my skin. What a perfect time to post this rad shoot lifestyle shoot I did in Long Beach, California for Salty! I’m transporting myself back into these moments and anxiously awaiting my next trip to California in March. I’d love to go once a quarter to shoot! My Dad is from southern California and I grew up frequently visiting family in Carlsbad and Burbank. I love the smells, the food and the beach! I’m just putting this out into the universe. More work in California in 2019 would make me the happiest!

Sayler is part of a weekly surf school. Her parents and younger brother go to the beach with her every Sunday to surf, play and enjoy their time together as a family. I love traditions, especially ones that involve the ocean! I’m so grateful to the Gillet family and their business, Salty, to capture these images for their social media and home.
