Gosh, it is true that I haven't taken any pictures in a while. The life of a teacher is extremely demanding, and beyond that my time has been divided between each child and their particular sports and school activities. As they grow older, my family is on the road more often. Despite the racing around, we've had a blast this school year with the kids, but I am so ready for some down time. At last, it is time for mama's hobby.
Crystal, my hairdresser and the wife of my cousin, wished to take some photos of her son Bryar since he recently turned one. So I persuaded her to ride with me to capture some Beach Pics of her tiny crew. The little ones were so hilarious, her daughter Kamri is absolutely a cutie pie. After I composed the little ones long enough for a few poses, I decided to just let them play. That's really all one can expect from kids their age.
By the way, the sunset hours are also the hours that the dog-walkers come on the beach. Yeah! Kids and Dogs. Thank heaven these kids liked dogs. As a photographer, I have to work against wind, water, the sand....dear God the sand..... and I have to maneuver to
get the kids in the right angle..... (away from the dogs). Sometimes that doesn't always happen so smoothly, so I just shoot to shoot and hope it comes out in the wash.
Kids and the ocean are just a wild combination, but the natural joy in their faces is exactly the expression that a photographer craves. The onlooker can see it in their smiles. After this session, we were a mess! I had sand in every crevice of my body and was soaked. My poor camera probably needs to be taken apart and cleaned. Was it worth it? Oh, Yeah! It was actually a breeze!
Enjoy your summer friends,
Love Kelly
*Note to self, take a extra change of clothes next time.
