Vanessa & Nico and family

There was ALOT of energy in this shoot!  I think mom spent about 50% of the time chasing after little Nico.  No wonder she's so skinny!  At one point mom and the kids were dancing up a storm and it was such a kick to see little Nico totally bust out some serious moves.  Vanessa has the most luscious, thick, curly hair - to die for.  And they both had lashes that went on forever.  Sigh - what I wouldn't do for lashes like that.  Anyways, tons of great photos. My antics seemed to work fairly well as I got alot of laughter! We got lucky and there was a slight cloud generated diffusion in the sky which made for gorgeous light.  Usually the beach is just too bright and harsh at this time of day, but the thin cloud layer made all the difference. Great stuff! In that last set of family photos, after convincing dad to take off his shades - but no luck with his jacket, the kids weren't paying any attention to me at all so I had to bust out my "how dare you not look at me" face which always generates quite a bit of giggles, especially from the parents! See for yourself... :)
