It was tons of fun and I am so excited to see
James work his magic with the pictures ~

of James and Kristin while we were there ~
Thank you Red Shed Antiques for letting us use your yard ~

Kristin couldn't contain her goofiness any longer !

It is funny how when you grow up somewhere you don't really appreciate it until you move away ~
I grew up on the Central Coast of California and did spend alot of time at the beach but truly did not know what I had just a few miles from my home ~
Now I live in Texas about 5 hours from the ocean and long for the days that I get to sink my toes in the sand and hear the crashing waves ~
Over the last few months we have been from one side of the United States to the other and each seashore brings a different, but so very much the same, awe inspiring feeling ~
I get lost in the beauty and majesty of the ocean ~
Here are some images that take me back that my son in law has captured so beautifully ~
I have had alot of people ask me if his prints are available for purchase and they are at James Brandon Photography ~ Just create an account and you can view his whole gallery ~
He also specializes in travel, family and wedding photography ~ He just did a destination wedding in Cancun that is gorgeous !
I have been loving the sunshine in Miami and Key West for a few days with my family ~
My husband is a pilot and has been based in Miami for the whole month so we got a chance to go spend some time there ~
A couple of the days we went to Key West and I just fell in love with the homes there because they are all little cottages in the prettiest pastel colors ~ All of the houses have picket fences and front porches ~
The ocean water is so warm, it is wonderful !
This is our girls Stephanie and Kristin ~
This is our son in law James, Kristin and Stephanie and my husband at one of the beaches ~
James took this gorgeous picture of Key West ~ It is so awesome to have a photographer in the family ~ You can see more of Florida on his blog soon at James Brandon Photography ~
I am constantly in awe of my son in laws photography work ~ He is truly talented ~
He will be showing his travel and landscape work at the Main and Vine Art Gallery in Keller Texas on Saturday, June 5th from 6-9 p.m. for Gallery Night ~ There will be other artists as well as music, wine, drinks and snacks ~
James not only does travel photography but family and wedding photography too ~
He was freaking me out getting this picture ~ it was so much scarier in real life ~
I was just looking at his pictures again to see which ones to put on my blog and it was pretty much impossible to choose ~ one of the thoughts that crossed my mind as I looked at them is what an awesome God we have ~ It is amazing at what He has created for us ~
You can see much more of his work on his website at James Brandon Photography ~ you can also follow his blog to see more and to see what he is working on here ~
He would love some suggestions on some cool places to see and photograph while on his upcoming destination wedding shoot in Cancun ~ If you have any ideas make sure and comment on his blog and let him know ~
He did this one of my husband and I in Hawaii that I love ~ I have shown you before but here is the link if you have not seen it ~
My Son-in-Law, James, has an amazing talent for capturing memories through his camera lens ~
