beach pictures

I love pictures of kids at the beach.  Is there anything that goes together better?  I knew that this year on our vacation I wanted to try and get some of my cuties at the shore.  I also knew that going during the "golden hour" (just after sunrise or just before sunset) was my best shot at getting beautiful light without harsh shadows or squinty eyes.  I was worried about missing our chance so the first night we went out a little too early.  These pics are cute but the shadows bugged me…

...so I made everyone try again the next day.  haha!  The kids were such troopers about getting dressed late in the evening and Drew was a trooper about being the helper again.  Getting photos of 2 under 5 is never easy, but I'm SO glad we went back out.  Love these!

Love, love our sweet kids - and the beach!
