Well, I guess I can’t really long for summer anymore as we’ve had a week of gorgeous weather! I know many members of my family are thrilled that it has cooled down, but me, not so much…I love the heat (except if I have to run in it!!) and summer is so stinkin’ short in Ottawa, you have to enjoy those jacket-less days! Besides, I love closing my eyes and dreaming that I can smell the ocean on some fabulous beach!
Alas I’m not, but it brings me to today’s post! A little walk down memory lane to the, um, okay, last century (ha!) when I was in Hawaii…take particular note of the dress I’m wearing!
My Dad had THE cheesiest mustache, but I was told it was cool at the time…sure Dad, sure…
Flash forward to last summer, and here’s my lil’ bug in the same dress in Parksville, BC. Cool, huh? As soon as she put the dress on and the light was beautiful I knew I had to do a session with her!
FYI: She’s “calling mermaids” in the picture with her arms up…3rd summer she’s tried to see one with no avail 😉
My son is a little less amicable in the photography department, so here’s some of my surfer dude doing some dry land training…that’s about as far as he got! 🙂
Enjoy your weekend, enjoy the sun and enjoy your family!!

awww so sweet! Love that you still have the dress and thought to do this, and wow, she looks so much like you!
Amazing photos! Totally see where Isla gets her beauty from! Especially love the photo of Isla sitting on the rocks looking out towards the water… it’s magical!! Also the photo of Big C riding the surfboard totally shows his personality – playfully focussed! Perhaps we’ll see his surfer boy tousled hairstyle with the subtle gold highlights again this summer ! Hang ten, dude!!
Magnificent work. I love the beach session.
