C. S. Lewis wrote, “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are…like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

A holiday at the sea

While spending a recent evening with the Taylor family, this quote came to mind. After all, they know firsthand the pleasures of a holiday at the sea!

Chasing light & dodging storms

My favorite clients are those that keep coming back for more! I had the privilege of meeting and photographing the Taylor family for the first time last June in 2017. And now here it is a year later in June 2018 and we’re back at it again! We had a blast chasing light and dodging storms before finally getting rained out our first night together. We met back up the next evening for the perfect sunset lifestyle family photo session.

We had so much fun recreating a few photos from last year, as well as creating a ton of new ones. It’s amazing to see how much the boys (Noah, Luke, Seth, and Isaac) have grown over the past year. However, grandparents, mom and dad, and aunt and uncle haven’t aged a single day. It’s funny how that is usually the case 😉

Since the Taylor’s received well over 200 photos, I’ve make a number of collages to keep this post to a manageable length. Cindy & Wayne, Annabrooke & Cameron, Olivia & Matt, and Noah, Luke, Seth, & Isaac, it was a joy spending the evening(s) with you all! Thank you for the privilege of capturing some of your memories in photos that will last a lifetime. And hopefully they will leave you smiling and remembering every single time you look at them.

Looking forward to June 2019!
