This season comes and goes so quickly. One moment our baskets are overflowing with mangoes, and suddenly the trees are empty and we are missing them, wishing we had preserved more in the freezer or made jam.
Dakota played sweet melodies as we created. We entered a flow state as the sun set and the mosquitoes came out to drink from our mango-infused skin. I’ve been wanting to shoot with Dakota for quite some time. I’m grateful we made this happen and documented these peak summer Florida vibes, in communion with this sweet fruit and all that it represents and reminds us of like home, community, creation, friendship, sharing what nature so abundantly provides in this tropical landscape. Giving and receiving love through these special fruits that bless us each summer.
