Christmas at the Park

Since Rick and Brooke and their family get to spend so much time at the beach, they decided to have their Christmas pictures taken at a local park on the inland waterway.

We still had a beautiful sunset.  I think this was their choice picture for their Christmas Card.

 

 

Here’s Austin and Conner with their favorite dog…….

 

We seem to have the best sunsets during the winter.

Christmas Eve at the Beach

What a group.  Fun, fun, fun.  We had so many people, the lifeguards came back on duty.  What an attraction….

They came from all over…. Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and even Florida.  What a fun way to spend Christmas Eve afternoon……….

 

 

 

Would you believe that the smallest  one yelled, “ RUN” !!

 

 

Then  they got silly..

Sisters Make the Best Relatives..

Hobbits ??

Christmas on the Gulf Coast

This family selected pictures by the fireplace for their Christmas photos.  We took pictures in just about every room in the house.  Plus the back yard and the front porch.  Isn’t it just amazing how the colors are so different from the photos taken of the previous family at the beach.

If I remember …. this is the one they picked for their family Christmas card.

 

 

Here’s proof.  A picture taken in a gold room makes everyone look like gold.

One gets in the bucket and everyone gets in…  Well, if they will fit…

All three loved the Christmas Tree..    Click HERE to see more……

 

Looks Like Snow…..

 If you’ve ever been to the Gulf Coast, you know how much the sand looks like snow.  In fact many motion pictures have passed off the sand as snow.

This family picked November to have their pictures taken.  Not too cold, but that’s only because the  wind was calm. 

 

The two boys were  in constant motion, but they were fun.

Here’s Hannah, Jared, Jason, and Gabbie….  

This is Hannah…

That “golden hour” evening sun sure added some red to Darin’s face.

 

Looks like Julie and Darin are enjoying this moment alone together… wonder why?

Never a Dull Moment….

This family was another great group from Tennessee.  We had so much fun with the kids.  As you can see from the photos,

 they were constant motion.

She was a doll.  Believe it or not, she was very cooperative for the pictures too.

I don’t think we’ve had a photo shoot like this one since….  It was so much fun.

 

The beach and water were so beautiful those days.

I thought it was very interesting that the flash and the lighting had such a strange effect on this shot. 

Notice the line of shadows along his arms and behind the ball.

It’s almost as if he was standing in front of a matt painting.

This Family Picked a Great Time to Visit the Beach

Note:  Look at the difference in the color of these shots and the color that the sun created in the shots of the previous family’s photos.  Just amazing what the sun can do.

Another family from Tennessee made a wise decision and decided to come to Destin during October.  The are no crowds and no bumper to bumper traffic.  On the other hand, there are beautiful beaches with clean clear water and some of the most beautiful sunsets you will find anywhere.

 

Not much of a sunset for this photo.  The sunset came a little later.  That’s one reason these photos have more blue . 

This is David and Heidi and their kids.

 

This was the photo they selected for their 2009 Christmas Card.

 

 

The weather was beautiful that week.

Fun, fun, fun

This past Monday afternoon we had a beach shoot for a family of 6.  Rather interesting and fun.  Although we have known them for many years, I had never paid attention to one very interesting fact.  Three of them are blonde and three of them are red-heads.

 

Here are the three reds……  (See why it’s called “The Golden Hour”)?

 

and the three blondes.  The sunset added so much red that they even looked like “reds”.

All the way from Spain……

Here are Manuel, Blanca, Beatriz and Carlos.  They came all the way from Seville, Spain.  Can you believe it??

Of course these pictures are a couple of years old, but for those of you who don’t know, I met Manuel on the Audrey 1 Forum and when they came over to see Disney World, we brought them up to Fort Walton Beach for a visit. Golly, did we have fun and enjoy taking them around.  Wal-Mart was Blanca’s favorite place to shop.  Her Euros sure bought a lot.
