This summer I have been so incredibly blessed! My amazing assistant (and friend!), Amy, decided that this was the summer to fly me down to their favorite vacation spot so that I could capture their family where they spend a good portion of every summer! Four days in Florida? Yes please! And a week from today another friend is flying me somewhere exotic (have to keep it a secret for now!) for four days! Too good to be true!

Anyway, this was earlier in June and I am finally getting around to sharing… beware… it’s a LOT of images for one sneak peek!

When we lived in Spokane I flew quite a bit back and forth but it’s been almost 7 years since I’d flown and I was SUPER excited about it! There is something about flying that is just really magical to me! That shot was out my plane window!

Dale’s parents will be building a new house soon so it was important to get a shot of the kids doing what they love in front of Grandma’s house!

One place they took me was to the marina and it was my first view of the ocean in four years!

Carsyn and Luke love to fish with their dad so that was top of the list of things to capture! First stop? Buying the live bait!

I was enamored with the birds that hung around the bait shop!

Do you see the shrimp in his mouth?

Just to prove to myself I was there!

Reagan on the other hand is not into fishing so her and Amy read (or just don’t go!).

We took their golf cart up to their favorite ice cream shop!

Only Dale and Amy will get this photo! 🙂

We of course had to do some more traditional shots on the beach at sunset!

One of my favorite parts of the trip was going to Shark Tooth Beach! I found EIGHT shark teeth and was SO excited!

They spend most of their time in the pool… which was gorgeous!

On the last night we did a few more family photos and God gave us the most incredible rainbow!

So beautiful!

Thanks for flying me down Beachy family!

And OBVIOUSLY if anyone else wants to have me come on their vacation for a few days I am totally on board! HA!
