First, let's travel back in time to a perfect August evening at Quintana Beach. Mimi Pat had requested a beach session with her eight grandkids, which she thought would be much easier than getting her entire crew together for photos. As it turns out, eight kids + wide open beach + wind that carried away my hollered instructions = we might as well have had 392 people to corral!
Aren't these kiddos beautiful though?
We tried alternating between posing and playing so that the kids would stay interested and not notice how many photos I was actually shooting.
And we endlessly ran back and forth between the water and the dunes and the wet sand and the water and the dunes. Sometimes we all even ended up in the same place at the same time.
Not a bit of trickery was required to get shots showing how much they all love playing together ...
... or how intertwined they are ...
... or how ruggedly independent and free-spirited each one is.
Each one is awesome on their own, but together? Perfection.
Thanks for the exercise, Avery, David, Kindle, Rowan, Sadie, Alley, Race, Cane, Ella and Pat. I would gladly run around on the beach with you any evening you'd like!
Speaking the truth in love,
we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament,
grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 4:15-16
