Toes in the sand | South Padre Island family photographer

August 28, 2009 – 7:48 pm

I was so happy when the S family contacted me to photograph their family while on vacation at South Padre Island. Thank you so much for trusting me to capture these memories for you! The evening started off a little warm and then cooled off to the most perfect feeling and gorgeous night. I really enjoyed hanging out with Mr. L and Mr. W. I could tell they are such great friends and have such a special brotherly bond. Thank you L and W for your patience too. It was their first day getting to the island and they were itching to play in sand throughout the whole session…I can’t blame them one bit! ;) I think the one photo of Mr. W below brings new meaning to the phrase “sandy blonde!” :) They are such handsome boys and were so fun! You have such a gorgeous family…enjoy your peek.

Downtown fun! Rio Grande Valley family photographer

It’s been about a year since I last hung out with the R family and I couldn’t wait to see how much Miss S had grown. She is such a sweetie and reminds me so much of my little one…full of spunk! Mom always knows how to dress the family too!! Don’t they look sharp??!! I just adore the shades of purple. She even brought coordinating flowers to match their outfits which I just LOVED! :) You have such a gorgeous family! Thanks for letting me capture your love for each other again!
