I met Sergeja several months ago while she was on a business trip in Seattle and needed someone to watch her 16-month-old son. We immediately clicked but knew our relationship would be short-lived as she headed back to her Bay Area home 2 days later. When I mentioned I'd be traveling to California in February, she asked if we could set up a family shoot!

We met at Tilden Park and had such a fun time together. This little boy is in such awe of the world around him. He fed the animals, crawled on lots of stumps, and was smothered in kisses from his mom and dad! What more could I ask for?

The world works in such strange ways, and I can only hope that someday our paths will cross again.
