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 :)

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...

My Summer Goals List

One of my favorite things to do is look forward to fun things, especially summer events! For the past six or seven years, my friends and I have made summer goals lists of things we want to do before summer ends. In the beginning, some of our's were: night swim in the ocean and swim out to the sand bar as much as possible. My goals on this year's list are a little more safe, but just as fun ;) 1. Tube down the Ichetucknee River in Florida and swim in the cold springs 2. Buy rocking chairs for our front porch 3. Watch the fireworks on the 4th of July with my toes in the sand in Jax Beach 4. Read the whole collection of Harry Potter books (only one read so far) 5. Scan, print, frame, and hang collection of old photographs I've found of my family and my husband's in my office 6. Give my very difficult and stubborn pup a short summer hair cut 7. Write and finish a new poem 8. Make a cheesecake, for the very first time 9. Have a tea party, most likely with my lit...
