“this was an easy session. beautiful sandy beach, glorious weather, super adorable children, relaxed parents, seashells. what more could you want?
“blond curls, chubby fingers, blue ocean and golden sand. my job is sooo hard”
“he found me a shell. thanks buddy!”
“tiny child, big shadow, massive ocean.”
“running after the seagulls, hair flowing in the breeze.. enjoy the beautiful beaches of the gold coast.”
“i love palm beach.. it is peaceful, lots of sand and ocean and the gold coast is exactly where i like it.. in the distance. ha.
“building sandcastles as a family”
“we collected shells. then used them to decorate the sandcastles.”
“everyone covered in sand, working on a challenge together. master j knew exactly where he wanted his shells.”
“collecting shells.”
“dude!.. he was beyond impressed with himself..”
“what do you do when you don’t surf and it’s winter? you beach surf of course.”
“she surfs. she has all the right moves and a huge grin.”
“what is better than one surfer? two surfers. these guys have the moves.”
“someone said something funny. who wants to guess who that was?”
“a father with his much loved children. simple, because sometimes it just is as simple as that.”"
“there was a story being told here. i am just not sure who was telling it.. or if it was true. ha”
“i like to capture children with each parent – on their own. it is important to me to capture the individual relationships as well as the group ones.”
“i wonder how much longer she can climb up there for?”
“oh look, the sandy toes did get their own photo. hehe”
“the best laughter. i have no idea what was so funny but i am glad i captured it.”
“another advantage of the shoulder ride – you can kiss your dad’s forehead when you can normally reach his belt. say it with me.. awwwww”
“there is no place higher. no more fun way to travel. no better place to see the world.. than from your father’s shoulders.”
“too stinking adorable. i was worried dad might not like this.. but i think his face is perfect. squinting in the sun, intently listening to directions.. and those sandy toes.. worth a whole post of their own.”
“dad will teach him so many things.. one of them was a quick lesson about waves on your toes.”
“she ran down to join her father and brother at the shoreline. i really like the height difference and how you can see their shape so much clearer when not distracted by their smiling faces etc”
“she took his hand and led him down to the waters edge. he had been a little nervous but once she had his hand he was fine.. she is a wonderful big sister!”
“if you aren’t careful.. sometimes the waves win. ha. i don’t think he minded as much as he made out.”
“this is the best. I need to make friends with some giants so i can get swung.”
“kissing your little brothers head without being bribed to do so… short lived.. and priceless.”
“group hug. it is a family tradition.. captured.”
“adored…”
“two and half to three and a half has to be my fave age. he was the perfect example of why.”
“she has the most adorable smile with sweet cheeks and bright eyes. she is also an excellent artist and drew me an amazing ariel the mermaid (and astro boy) in the sand)”
“right.. the kids are busy with the sandcastle.. it’s your turn. we had about one minute, i shot fast and we got some keepers.”
