Oranges, sunlight & new beginnings

Late Winter, Central California

This one lived in my mind long before it ever found my lens—a family wrapped in love, running between rows of orange trees heavy with light. The way the breeze moved through the orchard felt like a lullaby, just slow enough to leave room for sweetness. Their new baby in their arms and smiled like he knew something we didn’t. my lens chased sunbeams, and for a moment, time forgot to tick. It was everything I hoped it would be—and more.
