on some portraits from the beach...

Just a couple treasures from the sea.

This is my favorite photo from the day. I love it when the most perfect moment is captured. I can't look at this photo without feeling complely happy.

My second favorite. Because what is this, if not pure, unadulterated joy?

Another small bit of the ocean. I think the chipped nailpolish only adds to the character, you know.

Building castles.

When I look at this girl, I still see the tiny little girl with big blue eyes who stole our hearts almost ten years ago. She is growing up before my eyes.

And how can you not fall in love with this little munchkin? Her toothless grin gets me every time.

Did someone say candy war? A feisty one, that Lindsay.


It's a jawbreaker. Obviously. (Well, that, and Nikki is a drama queen.)
I adore this photo! It seemed a wee bit bright to begin with, but after looking at it for a while, I've decided that it's just right. Again, I love feeling like I've captured just the right moment. (Note the candy on her chin. Just a perfect touch, no?)
