Mine | Vacation Family Photographer

This is a very very rare occurance. Something that usually only comes around for a couple of days…maybe once a year or year and a half….vacation! My husband owns his own business, I have like 50 businesses and unfortunately that combination means it is REALLY hard to get away. And if you ask my dear hubby, he just doesn’t. He goes…but he works :(. I even had to work a bit this time too.

But my Baby Sis was getting married in Charleston, SC and an ocean front house was rented for the occasion. We were lucky enough to be able to stay there for the week, and the beach times were a week of heaven. My kids have my blood…beach blood. I grew up in Virginia Beach, and vacationed at my Grandparents Nags Head villa several times a year. The surf, sand, sun and fishing are all a part of my blood. I have tried to explain this to my husband for years as I whine that I need to get back to the beach…he rolls his eyes. This week he saw it. Being the not so “beach lover” he is, he assumed our little ones would bore of its glory in a matter of a day or two. Much to his surprise they did not want to leave after a week. Nothing else was needed…no big theme parks…no huge outtings…just a bucket, boogie boards and the ocean. And for me, the sun, my babies, and my camera was all I needed.

To my family – I will have these online soon for your to download at your leasure (and some that are not on the blog too).

Oh, the pics of the wedding done by Tiffani Sunshine are to come soon!

Amy - I didn’t know you grew up in VB! These are beautiful vacation pics. I can’t believe you saw a real starfish on the beach – alive and all! So impressed. Love all the lash photos, too. :)

admin - Thank you all! @Kristi…the sand was really going to one side…and then back towards him (so the main worry were his eyes…not my camera). I have about 6 of these that are really cool. @Beth…make an album…for ME? What a brilliant idea…wonder if I will actually get to it! @Amy- 16 years I spent there and miss it dearly. The starfish was in the water in a tide pool.

Michelle - These are great! I love the one of the star fish. Which beach were you at? My girls and I were at Edisto Beach which is about 45 minutes from Charleston. We just got back this evening.
