Fun in the Sun



I had such a fun day on the beach with my family and three nieces and nephew. It was just one of those perfect days that I will always think back at as one of my favorite days of my entire life. There was a lot of running, jumping, smiling, and playing going on. I'm so thankful I brought my camera to capture these amazing kiddos.





These kids have a knack for huge smiles. They're just so full of love- such happy kids. They get really excited over the littlest of things. That's one reason why I enjoy being around them so much. They find so much joy in running through water, watching birds fly, and digging in the sand. I cherish every minute I have with them. 









Seining is something my father really enjoys doing; he's the dedicated one shoulder deep in the water in the photo below. You can catch shrimp and crab for a yummy feast, but unfortunately small fish also get caught in the net. I can't stand seeing them die before we can get them back to the water! I preoccupied myself with playing with the girls in the tide pool while a lot of the seining was taking place. But I do love this one I got of little John John helping out like a big boy :)




He does this face when you say, "I'm going to get you John John" 

Today, I'm full of love and thanks for the many blessings I have in my life. Money and things really are meager and meaningless compared to being blessed with such an amazing family :)

Elizabeth & Lanier in the Leaves | Georgia Photographer

This brother and sister duo were such a delight to photograph. I'm drawn to joy and happiness, and this shoot brought me both. I love that Elizabeth and Lanier were playful and ready to have fun. The tall trees, light, and sea of leaves made the perfect setting to make these pictures. One of the many reasons I love spending time with kids is because you get an excuse to act like a kid again. Life just isn't as good if you can't play in the leaves. I love my job. Enjoy these!

Finger Painting Shoot

I've been wanting to take advantage of the pretty weather, so I decided to get some work done out on my porch today. Blue skies, plenty of trees, birds chirping, and my puppy sunbathing next to me is a nice place to hang out. This is my first blog, first post, first go at this. So even if I turn out to be a miserable blogger, the morning will not have been spent in vain because I spent it outdoors.  A couple days ago, I had the privilege to do a shoot with two cutie pies, Elisa and Gavin. I approached Paula to see if she would let me do an experimental shoot with her sweet little ones! She had told me that her children were comfortable and used to being in front of the camera, so I was excited to play a little with ideas that a lot of parents would be a little hesistant towards. I'm glad she was brave and trusting when I told her my idea was to have her kids finger paint.  Lots and lots of colorful paint, smiley kids, a beautiful backyard full of a bounty of trees and...
