The Beach

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!”

Dad=Lifeguard

Sister-In-Law Julie=Excellent Children’s Sun Screen Manager

(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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    And for vacation rental info for Seaside I'd go to VRBO Seaside Florida. Just make sure they say IN Seaside.

    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?
