    boys at the beach {our holiday card session}

    Just realized I never posted these!! A few from back at the end of the summer when everyone was all tan and golden. We ended up using some of the pictures from this shoot for our holiday cards. I would post the cards but they are trifold and some of the images are upside down when posted flat. So just enjoy the photos for now instead.

    arrrgh.

    Had some fun with Timmy and my lens baby composer at the beach a few months ago (only got to edit the photos recently). Many thanks to Zoe for the inspiration, crewcuts for the clothes and Brett for the sewing of the cape on very short notice! Oh, and Timmy for the fun!

    the smi family

    My very last beach shoot of the season, and wow- what a way to end it! I really love photographing this family (and have many times now) and they are so gorgeous. Even the dog. But that’s not really why the shoot was so memorable. We had a squall. A real true full on 30mph winds, sideways rain, blowing sand, can’t see 2ft infront of you storm from hell. I totally wish I was able to take pictures of all of us looking like drowned rats running, screaming in the sideways rain but I needed my camera to be working for more shoots after this one. The rain was so totally horizontal that my back was soaked (like ring it out dripping soaked) and my front was perfectly dry. I’ve never seen anything like it.

    Just as we were wrapping up in the dunes, it started to rain. Just regular rain. So we hightailed it to the cars to wait it out. Mr.C wanted a picture of him in the rain. So I took one (if you look closely you can see lots of raindrops all over the photo below)Then when it stopped, we ran down to the ocean for our last pictures. We could see the rain coming in- we just didn’t know what kind of rain it was at the time… And then it hit the fan.

    Thanks for a great session (although rainy and quite the adventure in weather!) and I love that your session was my last beach one of the year.

    the baul family

    This adorable little guy and his parents were gifted with a bsquared session and I was so looking forward to photographing them down at the beach. The weather was ‘meh’ at best that day, but it did make for pretty pictures and we had NO rain (which was a slight miracle since we’ve seemed to have it for like every other shoot scheduled!). As it turns out, dad is a teacher at the boys middle school and while they don’t have him as their teacher for any classes this year, he knows them from their often worn RedSox gear, which Mr. B does NOT like. The boys do like him though, even though he’s a Yankee’s fan.

    Anyway, without further ado here’s the ‘baul’ family in all their cuteness!

    See you around school, Mr. B! Hope you enjoy your photos!

    the cast family

    One of my most fun families to photograph, always on the beach, always at the end of the summer and always a great time! I love arriving at their home as I always get big hello’s including hugs and kisses from all the kids. They’re awesome!!!!!

    And believe it or not, we actually did this shoot at 11:30am on the beach! Which completely goes against every beach shoot rule but the sky was 100% cloud cover with no breaks of the sun, so we not only got away with it, but rocked it!

    See what I mean about them being awesome!?Hope to do it all again next year. With colored shirts though, okay C?
