Hello friends!

Family Beach Vacation, Part 1 {Ocean & Pool Days}

Hello friends!

We’re back from Florida vacation with Sully’s family! We made tons of great memories, enjoyed oceans and pools, played board games and night volleyball, ate lots of ice cream, laughed at the antics of 11 nieces and nephews, and survived a ridiculously awful (and contagious) stomach virus.

I have way too many good photos to fit in one post, so look forward to more pictures and stories to come! I’ll start us off with a collection of beach and pool photos. Keep scrolling for adorable small children and pretty oceans.

Spring Fling 2023 {Event Photography}

Hello friends!

Our family friends the Borns love to host big events and parties at their farm. Recently they put on their famous “Spring Fling” which includes a family obstacle course, crosscut-sawing and doughnut-eating contests, a cupcake-baking competition, barn dancing, and more. I was the “lead photographer” for the event and had so much fun wandering around capturing pictures of laughter, cute kids, and pretty scenery.

Scroll through this post if you need a smile. 🙂
