In Seaside the light is amazing…if you wake up early or wait till evening. I took each of the kid’s out. There is always one kid who considers this torture…it was Isaac this year…I did manage to force him into one good photo. The rest were easy.
We went to the beach every day…walked down our little brick paved street and we were there.
“A huge fish…this big…almost got me!”

(Thank God…because I’m the worst.)
And the only all-together photo I got of the kids.
I’m alright with it…we had so much fun, we never stopped long enough to pose.
Everyone is taking beach vacations!! I want one! The pictures are beautiful. Your brood is precious. Thanks for transporting me to a beach town for a moment. Happy weekend.
That looks so amazingly fun!! I think I know what we'll do this Summer now!
p.s. Love your hubby's shirt!
Looks like some fab days at the beach. Love that Patrick has got a firm hold of the basketball again in the last picture! Still hasn't gotten over that obsession then!
I love the backgrounds to your photos. They turned out really great. I looove the beach, I'm glad you had such a great time!
What great pictures! I can't wait to give Seaside a try ~ thank you so much for all your tips and advice 🙂
Beautiful kids, beautiful family, beautiful beach….I've never been there but your pictures make it seem idyllic. I'd love to be on that sailboat right now…
Wonderful photos. I have an Isaac this year. I got so many pictures with my youngest covering his face. So I got a lot of pictures of him looking at scenery in DC when he wasn't paying attention. But I'm not a photographer. You obviously are! Beautiful.
Gorgeous pictures! Gorgeous kids! Gorgeous lifeguard! 🙂
sarah! what beautiful children! i always like your golf cart shots….we're golfers so i have to remember to try that this summer.
you really captured some wonderful memories 🙂
I just about always get back home from vacation without a picture of all of my kids together! You have some great individual shots that show each ones personality.
Looks like you had an amazing time. Oh, look at those blue skies. We have had rainy days here, not that I mind but going to the beach sounds glorious.
I'm PINING for a family beach get-away! Divine. And beautiful pics! You've got a great eye and gorgey subjects.
*sigh* I cannot wait to go to the beach! All of these photos are fab! Your kids are too, too cute!
Looks like a really fun group! Wish we lived close to the beach! :o(
Beautiful. We're trying to book in a place for July. Would you be willing to share your rental information? We usually stay in Seagrove, but looking for a little change. Thanks so much.
Love your pictures! We rent at house every year on Santa Rosa Beach which isn't too far from Seaside. We always take at least one trip into Seaside and roam and take pictures. Love that little town!
where did you find Abby's dress? It's so hard to find pretty clothes for girls that age! Great pics! love your blog!
Sometimes I don't mind living 1,000 miles from the closest beach. Other times, I do. Now is one of those times.
Your photos are so dreamy and your kids are beautiful!
Beautiful shots!
Your pics are gorgeous, what a wonderful place to take them, all the photos will forever be surrounded with fun and treasured memories!

I love taking pictures at the beach. I can't wait until our beach vacation this summer. I get to use my new Nikon. You have some amazing photos. Your kids make it easy to take beautiful pictures. They are a great looking group!
I think I love your family more after seeing your husband's shirt. Pure awesomeness. If that's a word.
I love beach photography in general. We're headed back to La Jolla this year…..one day we'll make it to the other coast! No complaints. I love Cali.
i wish you'd offer a photography workshop for moms who want to learn how to use their cameras a little better. you're incredible!
These pictures are gorgeous! Your children are just beautiful. Looks like a fun time was had by all.

what wonderful photos…you are so great at capturing moments. I've been reading your blog for a little while and wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying 'getting to know you'. I followed your tutorial for doing the blog header and I love my new look. Thanks for the inspiration and the wonderful help.
Great looking family and what a fun vacation !
I love them all…dreamy 🙂
Abbey's dress…I can't remember for the life of me! Target maybe?
And for vacation rental info for Seaside I'd go to VRBO Seaside Florida. Just make sure they say IN Seaside.
Beautiful family and photos! 🙂 In the second picture of Abbey- do you happen to know the name of the flowers on the fence behind her?
Such cute photos. I love the Schrute Farms t-shirt. What a great vacation!!!
Bliss!! pure bliss…
Beach days like those are blissful!!
sigh!
😉 I am happy for you really… I am!! he he!
Beach photos are the best..and you are right about the lighting…dawn and dusk ..there is a house for sale across the street from us! I'm screening families moving in! You could live at the beach with us!!
Beautiful photos! Looked like a great time.
Bikes, buckets and Boogie Boards a great way to spend the day. Beautiful photos. I really like the one of Abby and the magazine. My kinda girl.
I want a camera like YOURS! Of course, I would need to learn how to use it!
I want to go to that EXACT same place. It looks so dreamy.
I KNEW that was Seaside. 🙂 We always stay in a house closer to PCB, but always make a day trip or two to Seaside for photos. Thanks for sharing…now I can't wait til the next time we hit the beach!
Your photos are beyond amazing! And I don't know what it was about how I was feeling the first time I read about your beach vacation but you so motivated me that next vacation is Seaside!
I LOVE your blog.

That looks like such a great time. I love the shots. My favorite stuff the location of your daughter's photo with the fencing. Love that.
Nice shirt, dad.
Beautiful pics! I couldn't help but notice your husband's shirt. I love The Office!
Beautiful pictures! Nothing better than family vacations.
Stunning! I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Seaside…now even more so.
I love the pic of your littlest with his toes lifted up – like the pathway is chilly… You have a gorgeous family!
I live on the Central Coast of California – so I don't really know where Seaside is? What state?
Looks like so much fun!! We're headed to the beach in June and it will be my first beach trip in YEARS. I'm so excited to get my feet in the sand and to get some fun beach pics of the kids with some gorgeous lighting:)I want to go and sit on that dock in the evening!!
