Landon and Donovan at the Beach

Okay, so I confess I love capturing anything involving kids, but I was truly honored to be able to capture the reactions of Landon and Donovan to seeing the beach for the first time! It was a bit chilly, but that didn't keep Landon from loving every minute of the sand and running from the waves in his Grandpa's arms! Donovan was not her usual brave self, but know that she'll warm up to the beach and ocean in no time during our upcoming vacation! I am counting down the days until Daytona in May with the entire family and look forward to capturing more great memories! Thanks again to Al and Scott, and of course all the Donovans for humoring me :)

Okay, so the first pictures are of the kiddos getting energy for the beach....

The next few are of Landon's reaction to the beach...he was SO excited!!!

So the next few are of Donovan's reaction to the beach...not quite the same, but we'll get her excited during the May trip!

She warmed up a bit while swinging in her uncles' hands!

Landon couldn't have been happier running from the waves! I can't wait to see what May brings!

Landon and Donovan, December 22

Since I married into a large family, I'm blessed to have access to some precious faces and some patient family members that allowed me to capture some of the following shots. We spent over an hour letting the kids play at a park close to Sean's parents' house in Andersonville. A special thank you to Al and Scott for letting me share these pictures with the world! I can't wait to take these pictures year after year!

Thanks again to Al and Scott for letting me borrow the kiddos! Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!!

A Christmas Shoot at the Beach

My hubby and I are loving Florida, especially as we are still wearing short sleeves and driving with the windows down in early December. As every day passes, I am more and more happy he didn't choose a residency in the North :)

We went to the beach today since he got off early and had some fun with the timer and a new bucket and shovel...

I won't be uploading too many pictures, only because we want some element of surprise with our Christmas cards :)

I'll finish up with one of the Jacksonville Pier - As many times as we've been to the beach, we've yet to go under the pier - I always love dimensional pictures :)
