I really enjoyed photographing this fun family on the beach yesterday!  The mom contacted me to purchase a family photo session as an anniversary gift for her husband, and part of his gift will be a large canvas to hang in their home.  What a lovely and thoughtful present and it is sure to be one that keeps on giving as time passes.  When I was going through the images last night I could not help but wonder which one(s) will end up as the big canvas(es) on their walls. There were lots of good ones from which to choose, and my job is to make sure the decision is a tough one :) .

I had a great time playing with little M (ok, not that little, but he was full of personality and I love that).  He tackled mom in the sand and we all laughed a lot through out the session!  This is a great job (ok, other than the sand I find in my hair for days after a beach session) and my favorite part is capturing the fun a family has together so that they can remember it for years to come.

C family, I really enjoyed our session and hope you love your images as much as I do.  The connection you have as a family is undeniable and it was so nice to witness the joy you share.  I will be in touch to set up a time to view the rest of your images!

This beautiful couple is expecting, times two!  Mama was glowing and looked simply gorgeous as we explored a new shoot location.   Dad was supportive and doting.  Their fur-baby, Guinness, well….he wanted no part of our shoot and was much more interested in exploring the location on his own.  Perhaps I should have brought some treats :)   April is 27 weeks pregnant and we did the shoot a little earlier than I usually do maternity shoots just in case baby Logan and baby Olivia decide to make their appearance early.

April and Matt, I am SO happy for the two of you and cannot wait to meet Logan and Olivia and photograph them when they arrive!     If you love them as much as you love each other (and you can just tell by these pictures that you love each other so much), then they will be two lucky babies! Your connection in these photos is so real! I am so happy for you both.

Lina: He is such a handsome youngster! Surprisingly he is not running away from your camera :)

Zoe Berkovic: He is gorgeous!!!!

Jen: What a cutie! That first pic is absolutely adorable.

This lovely family of three looks like they were born to frolick on the beach….and yet they all three (especially dad) looked at me like I was crazy when I suggested it was time to lay in the sand for some shots.  I teased them for it a bit, of course, because my husband is the exact same way and would rather stay off the sand entirely!  Well, no such luck!  If I have to get sandy and wet, well, so do you! Besides, who ever said photography was glamorous?  Ha ha!  Seriously, it was all in good fun.  Sean, Gwen, & Jake, I hope these shots made getting a little wet and sandy worth while.  You have a beautiful family and I hope you enjoy your sneek peak (which is extra large since I had so many favorites).  You know how much I love beach photography, sand and all!

Well, it is time to share some examples of the elegant albums I offer to customers.  Here is one that I put together recently with photos from my son’s 15 month beach session.  The pages are nice and thick and the album looks so yummy that it makes my wedding album (from my own wedding) a bit jealous when it sits on the same coffee table.  This is the same style of album that comes with the Baby’s First Year Plan, except this is a 10×10 and the baby plan includes an 8×8 (which can be upgraded to 10×10).  The cover comes in a variety of colors, including baby blue (shown here), baby pink, brown, black, or white.  If you are interested in seeing this album in person just let me know and I would be glad to bring it to your session or ordering appointment.  I promise it will make you want one :)   Oh and please excuse the photography…I am NOT a product photographer :)
