Most of my clients comment that I must get great images of my own kids…well, I’ll tell you, I’m in the same boat as many…they don’t listen to a word I say. You should see me try to get the great Christmas card picture. It takes an entire day and I most always end up mad.
Anyway, BEACH PICTURES are every mommy’s dream of course, so this summer I packed up all my cute "white" clothes for Zane (3) and McKenna (7). The first day we got there Zane put on his Superman costume and never took it off again…No, I’m not kidding…100 degrees, sand, wind, he didn’t care. He literally would not take it off…therefore, my beach pictures had to take a different route.
Now this is the chicken or the egg part…which comes first?…the inspiration for the picture, or the picture then the inspiration.
For Zane I had the idea for the birds to be over his head at Sunset as soon as I saw him in the costume on day one…I laid on the beach all week and thought, "How can I get those silly birds over his head?" So, one the last day I finally got my camera out and went to work. My cousin Courtney stood right beside Zane and threw up hotdog buns until the birds came running and I started snapping away. There are so many cute ones, however, this is my favorite…you can see why…my baby beside the ocean, his only dream to learn to fly…View this photo
