beach.08 | austin family photography
Just got back from our favorite little family vacation spot. Silly me, but I think it’s so cool to have an annual trip and visit the same place every year. This is our 6th year and even before that, my hubby and I visited this place when we were still in college. It hasn’t changed much at all. And I like that. Pretty much the only things that have changed over the years are 1. The size of my belly and 2. The size of our family. All I could think of this time around was that next year, there will be three kids. THREE kids!!!!! Oh. My. Dog.




An endless supply of sand and H2O AND a real front-end loader. It was like all of his Christmases had come at once.

My little L chasing “sea otters.”





Thanks to my sis for snapping this family pic for us!
This is my sis. And my cute little mommy.
Anyway, it’s going to take me a little bit of time to return all of your calls and e-mails, but hopefully, I’ll have all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted by the end of the week. Happy 4th, everyone!

Want to know how you took those blurred ocean shots? I’m taking a photography class and it is so cool! Also p.s. what lens should I buy first? I only have the 55mm that came with the Canon Rebet XTi.
