My fabulous friend, Erika and her two little boys, Mack and Leo. The shoot was bedlam – sand flying everywhere, kids running, screaming, jumping all over us -  a typical day in the life. We used candy and bakugans as bribery and it worked…for about 40 minutes! When we were done, the kids were filthy – sticky from the lollipops, wet and sandy. I’m often scared to look at the photos after a crazy family shoot with little boys, but it always works out, there were a gazillion good photos! Such a relief, I don’t know why I worry…

I put together this slideshow of about half the photos from the shoot, set to the kids’ favorite song, to give clients an idea for what to expect from a shoot with me at the beach. Scroll down for a few of my favorite photos from the shoot, I edited those to perfection (airbrushed the skin, minimized dark circles under the eyes, added a warm fuzzy glow, sharpened, dodged and burned, etc.). Most of the photos in the slideshow have been edited more globally.
