the bur family at the beach

One of my growing up squared families who I love to photograph.

You know how I like to tell you we had a great time at the shoot? Well, in this case only 3 of us did. Poor dad loathes the beach but was a trooper and toughed it out for the sake of the pictures. He dressed in long sleeves and jeans which was especially unfortunate cause it was only about 1000 degrees out with 500% humidity. Then the baby RUNS full speed into the ocean and he has to grab her before she goes completely in. Several times. His pants were soaked, sandy and falling down. He was sweaty, uncomfortable, and well, basically completely miserable. In fact- his exact words were "this is my worst nightmare". Dosen’t he look like it is?? Poor guy.

Well, at least the baby had a great time. She loved the big "pool" (aka ocean) and was so sad when we had to leave there. She ended up being quite the mess (and is usually very dainty and girlish) but I thought you could see the joy all over her face!

Looking forward to our next shoot (although dad probably really isn’t) someplace a little less messy maybe.
