What a total adventure it was, too! I had it in my mind that it was going to be this amazing photography-filled vacation, but really I had my hands full a lot of the time, and then when I did have the chance to take advantage of the beauty of the coast - everyone was, well, camping. Mismatched clothes, dirty faces, messy hair, and so…that’s what I captured. Real life. I even got my husband to take a few pictures of me, too. I set them up, upped the aperture so that it was nearly impossible to miss focus and let him play. He got an awesome shot of me with Maddie and I’m so excited.
Oh, and that family pic? Well, we got one. Did we get one with 12 eyeballs open and looking at the camera with no funny faces? Nope. But hey, we got one. It’s a start. Of the 200 or so shots that I did get, here are a few that I edited tonight. Because patience has never been my strong suit and the minute the wee one fell asleep I hopped right on the laptop and started downloading!
M in the backpack - looks kind of goofy, and not exactly the silhouette pic I was dreaming of, but a beautiful sky nonetheless: 
And the last one…for tonight:
