    This is one of my all-time favorite slide shows. If you know this family, and would like to see the show, leave a comment or send me email and I’ll hook you up with the link. It’s so much fun!

    We shot at the grandparents’ house at Bradley Beach. Isn’t this the SWEETEST picture? I LOVE it!

    He was kind of shy most of the day, but at one point he suddenly turned and smiled at me! Yay!

    The light streaming in the window gives this picture almost as much warmth as his sweet smile. I love this picture!

    HATS are so great at the beach! They keep long hair at bay. They provide a little shade for the face. And this particular one provides texture, color and shape! Love her fun smile too!

    Plus, hats instantly change the mood of a photograph. This image would look really nice with an aged texture added in photoshop. I’ll mess with that one day when I get time and put it up on the blog for you if you remind me.

    The moms were having a little, a-hem, ISSUE with the kids always making bunny ears whenever I pointed the camera at someone. “STOP MAKING BUNNY EARS!” was begged over and over and over.

    So I cracked up when I turned around…

    … and caught some mom bunny ears!

    These next three shots are so typical…

    The girls are hanging out in the “beauty salon.” One by one, they called people into the “salon” for manicures and massages. Note to all future photography clients: Everybody needs a massage after a beach photo shoot! They are SO MUCH FUN!

    Thanks everyone! I pray you love your slide show as much as I do!
    Peace,
