One of the many nice things about a get-away is meeting new people. During a recent stay in Longboat Key we met the nicest family. Our kids spent loads of time together playing in the sand as we adults got to know each other. And when my photography came up in conversation, I was so thrilled that this beautiful mama asked me to take her family’s photos. Too bad darkness comes so quickly in the evening. I could have walked on the beach all night with these four, snapping photo after photo after photo. I hope these images give them joy for many years to come.
