Cousins at the Beach

My photographer, Bridgett, took some photos of my kid's playing at the beach with my cousin's kids this past May. I'm so happy with how they turned out, and this YouTube slide show really does not do them justice because they uploaded all pixelated, but you'll get the idea. It is so hard to take pictures of kids (especially four of them!) but Bridgett is so patient. She'll run, lay down, climb things, sing silly songs - whatever it takes to get great shots (plus kids really like her). Anabelle and Liam (our reserved children) cried because they didn't like the sand, and Evie and Maisie (our wild girls) were all over the place! We had to bribe all of them with gum (seen in some of these photos) to get them to be still, and I see that Evie had a giant booger that I failed to wipe - ha! These photos are very real, and I love that. What you see here, is what that day was like, and I love that the chaos was captured in such a sweet way. These are truly childhood. Enjoy!
