moments at the beach
Every year we take one evening on the beach to try to capture a great family picture. And every year I wonder why I torment myself with the impossible 
We had the best laid plans…outfits arranged, showers accomplished, kids fed. But by the time we got down to the beach the wind had kicked up and the sun was still blazing hot. Throw in a wild 2 year old screaming “NO NO NO!” and you’ve got a recipe for complete and utter exhaustion. I always leave the beach thinking “that was a complete waste of time”…but every year…without fail…I fall in love with the images as they come to life on my computer screen. They aren’t perfect. But neither are we. And I know deep down it wasn’t a waste….and that I’ll treasure these moments for as long as I live.
My Dad gave me a love for photography and light. Lucky for me to have him along on these trips to help me document our growing family.
There’s something about the beach. The crashing waves and ever changing churning waters seem to put life into perspective. Sifting sand and wind blown hair, lazy afternoons, turkey sandwiches packed in Igloo coolers, little itty bitty bikinis (on the kids of course), shell scavenging, sun kissed skin, gritty teeth, and togetherness. The beach is my heaven here on earth.
I’m hoping to share a little bit each day of our adventures. I’m missing it already…
I grew up on the beach and now that I’m landlocked in Utah there’s a profound sense of longing each year as the weather warms up. Sigh…maybe someday!
As for the “perfect photos”…these look pretty darn perfect to me. The ocean, the smiles…what more can we really ever ask for
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL photos!!!!
I love how your middle girl is gazing at her daddy in the family picture! These are wonderful. Totally worth the exhaustion of getting them taken!
These look perfectly wonderful to me. Treasures for sure!
I can hardly wait for next year…..joining the fun…and more little ones at the beach! What a beautiful thought! Aahhhh
Jenn,
These photos are SO incredibly gorgeous. You can see the family memories being made just by looking at them. Bravo to your Dad for taking such great shots that YOU actually get to be in too. No time was wasted here, I can assure you of that. God bless your beautiful family (& one more VERY soon)!
Oh my! So beautiful!! Did you dad take your family shots, I assume? Go Ron! Those are FANTASTIC! Makes me sad that I have no pics of the 5 of our family. I really don’t.
That will be my mission this summer! Looks like you had a wonderful time! 
Gorgeous pictures!! Totally worth the effort
And you’re SO rockin’ that green MJ dress!! Pretty Pretty!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the family shot….Daddy and his girls and mommy and her “protector”. Hope you all had a fabulous time.
