Semiahmoo Family Portraits: Holmans

Meet the Holman family. I loved getting to meet them all and document all seven of them – some of the sweetest, most polite children I’ve had the pleasure of photographing! The beach was the perfect backdrop for everyone to relax, have fun and get both portraits and candids. Here are just a few from our time together…

Many thanks, Holman family :)

  • Typically by now I’d have another newborn, but at almost two years old, Jack is still very much our baby! And always will be, hehe. I’ve loved being able to enjoy his baby-ness, seemingly much longer than Ava and Zaya. I also have no idea how I would’ve kept up with all three of our crazies being pregnant again had we kept up our pattern of the past six years 😆 📷 @dandewaard
  • Today I watched with goosebumps as history was made. Our founder and CEO @greggrenfrew was invited to testify before Congress for cosmetic reform. To empower the FDA to improve consumer safety. 1938 was the last time a major law was passed in the US regulating the cosmetics industry. To quote the Chair Woman of the hearing “the European Union has banned 1400 harmful ingredients and the US has banned 11. We have work to do.” We as consumers have been mislead for years as we buy and slather on product after product that is not tested for health safety, because the FDA has not had the empowerment to regulate (or issue recalls when, for instance, face powders were found to be contaminated with asbestos). And yet many of these products contain ingredients like carcinogens and hormone altering chemicals. It was quite something to watch many of the speakers say how shocking this issue is. That it hasn’t been policed. That we are working with a very outdated law in a multi billion dollar industry that has a direct impact on our health. So grateful to be a part of the movement for cleaner beauty, and excited for these steps that are being made for the betterment of all of us. This is why Gregg started @beautycounter, to get safer products into the hands of everyone. Incredibly amazed by the work she and the company are doing and how she humbly leads us and the industry. The EWG app is a trusted resource - they rate products based on their toxicity levels if you're curious about your own personal products.

  • I spy with my little eye...the caption to this photo 🖤 We had a few family photos taken on the weekend, a trade with friend and fellow photographer @dandewaard and his family. No one got new clothes, haircuts were put off. We got to drink hot coffee and hang out in a beautiful cafe, out of the rain. It was perfect and imperfect, a little messy and pretty sweet. ☕️
  • My boys. One made me a wife, one made me a mama, and the other will always be my baby. 🥰 Praying Zaya and Jack grow up to be like their Daddy; kind, generous, a sense of humor...they’re on point with the handsome looks, in my humble opinion.👌🏼 📷 by @dandewaard
