There have been a lot of changes lately; a huge creative surge that I’m at a loss to explain or do justice to in a blog post. I’d love to tell you about it over a cup of coffee or show it to you in a shoot. The best way to sum it up is in my favorite word: joy.
For the moment I’m hitting pause, working on some exciting new things with the mega talented Kate Quinby, and preparing for Damien’s upcoming EU/UK tour. I can’t wait to tell you the stories.
More. Soon. //SJ
There are people you just know you were meant to meet. Like Lia Rose. Like Lia and her beautiful husband Remco. [The story of how they found each other just about knocked me flat, but it is theirs to tell; you should ask them about it.] When I met them a few years ago at Cafe du Nord, I was instantly charmed. We’ve kept in touch through tours and travels, and I recently had the honor of taking new images for Lia’s upcoming album. Scouting a few months ahead, I suggested a park that I loved. Every time I would picture her, it was in the same spot, though it wasn’t the most convenient - turned out to be only a mile away from where she had played her very first show. Again… some things are just meant to be.
Running around Capitol Hill, eating cucumber sorbet, no big deal - just hanging out with the coolest mom/daughter combo ever. Lisa + Aya, you rule.
One of the most beautiful days of this Seattle summer, spent on South Lake Union with the best of friends. Beth + Thomas’ rehearsal dinner at the Center for Wooden Boats.
It has been quiet here on the internets lately. Mostly because the real-life universe is just the opposite. Real-life is what we at the Jurado household have been calling “slammed.” There have been photos and songs and parties and so so so much work. More than I can say. Yesterday we toasted mutual congrats - one of my photos ran in the New York Times, and Damien’s sweet Saint Bartlett was released to truly magical acclaim.
For the next few months, music and touring will take center stage. While I’m 96% booked through December [really!] I’m still taking some select commissions and projects during a break this summer. Please please do send me an email if there is something special you’d like to partner on or if you have nice things to say. I absolutely love the emails I’ve been getting lately. You all are some beautiful humans.
If it is quiet on here, it most certainly won’t be on twitter or tumblr or flickr. There are bound to be some good stories and beautiful moments in the coming months.
A huge hug goes out to our friends Jesse and Whitney of Our Labor of Love for the images they sent us this week. We’re glowing in really life just as we are in their photos.
Thanks to everyone of our friends + family + fans [and all those that overlap those three categories] for all the support. Go team Jurado. See you soon.
Much love,
Sarah
I usually like to share the backstory on my shoots, but this one would be a long story to tell. We’ll just give it the shorthand of ‘best friend moving into new apartment.’ Concise and true. We wanted to capture this sweet space where she spent the last two years, before she moves on to bigger + better things. These photos make me grateful that I take photos, that I can tell a story that means so much to us. I don’t know if it will mean as much to you [see title above] but I hope the joy does indeed resonate.
You’ve probably seen Rae on this site before. It’s hard to keep my camera off her and her beautiful family. Racheal and Kirk and Kiddo are a little dream team! We decided to celebrate Kiddo’s one year birthday with a family portrait session. Kiddo reminded me HE was in charge by throwing every idea out the window in favor of running around in his sweet boots. He’s so gorgeous that my ideas about how to frame things don’t much matter anyhow.
I call Rae ‘wife’ because she really is my other spouse, and vice-versa. We’ve both been tour widows + taken care of each other when Kirk or Damien were out on the road. This summer they’re embarking on a project we’d never even dreamed of - they’re going on tour TOGETHER. If only we could get Racheal and the babe in the van, we’d have our own mobile family. I’m still holding out we’ll win the lotto before tour starts + make it all possible.
Kiddo, my little man, I love you more today than the day you were born. I remember the day I found out you were to be, the overwhelming joy of knowing two of my favorite people were making a person. You turned out pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Thank you Huffmans for being such a huge part of my life, I don’t know what we’d do without you.
