the sant family

Its so much fun for me to watch this family grow and grow. When we first met, it was just the three girls with mom & dad. And in the two or three sessions we’ve done since, there have been two little boys added into the mix. If anyone should have more kids, it’s them! Such a great family dynamic between all of them. And I love to photograph it!

Of course, nothing’s easy or smooth in life and this shoot was a perfect example of that. Having nothing to do with the family, of course!! The bugs were just disgusting and everywhere. And biting. And then the worst part…we returned to the entrance of the beach to find that their double stroller with the infant car seat in it was missing. Stolen. Right off the beach, with their shoes in the bottom basket. Who does that? Did you get the part about the infant car seat in it?  Poor mom was so upset and I felt terrible. Luckily, they took two cars to the shoot and there was an extra car seat in the other car. But what would’ve happened if they didn’t have the additional car seat? How would they have gotten home with the baby. The stroller was older and nothing fancy, and mom just hoped that whoever stole it needed it more than she did. But seriously, what the hell is wrong with people?! Well, I hope at least the photos make up for the stroller. A little.
