goals, sand and sun

of the items on my list of goals for 2011, number one was going to the beach (it also will appear on the list for 2012, 2013, 2014…you get the picture, right?).

during every trip to the beach, a photo session is on the agenda. usually those sessions are based on perfect outfits with clean children and suggested guidelines (from me) like not getting messy, dirty, full of sand, etc.

not this time.

this time, the kids threw on their trunks and we headed to the beach. and instead, this session was meant to document a five-year-old head full of curly hair ~ an eight-year-old who might be mistaken for a surfer ~ sandy hands ~ silliness ~ beautiful brown eyes ~ and tan (even slightly sunburned) faces.

i LOVE the beach and can’t wait to go back…
