Family Vacation

We just got back from our yearly trip to St. George Island, and I miss my family already.

We have been going down there for a week in July for every summer since 1999! Kind blows my mind to think about it!

But we booked for next year, so hopefully everyone will be able to go!

Small feat, but I shot the whole vacation on aperture mode! (I'm pretty sure it was aperture mode, but whatever the case, it was not on auto!) Some of the pictures show it, kinda blurry or not very good, etc... but baby steps! And I have discovered that I LOVE natural light. Shooting outside has always been my favorite, but after using my new camera for a while, I REALLY love it!

I was on vacation, so not super into trying to improve my form, but I just had fun with it! Here are some pictures from the trip! I will be posting a little highlight video soon!

**Almost none of these are edited. Literally think I brought out some shadows in ONE, and that was it. Just not feeling like messing with it right now!

My favorite, favorite, favorite place.

Lookin' cute in her keener!

This was seriously the cutest suit!

Jana had some adult coloring books... So we all got in on that action!

I just love this kid!

That tongue!

She was so flippin' cute in her fedora!

Can't wait for baby Mattson!! I'm predicting a boy! (but for the record, I am always wrong!)

Alex is clearly thrilled about being a big brother! Hah!

Here, he seems to have warmed up to the idea. Haha

Going to try to work on the picture-frame-in-the-sand pictures again next year! This year, pictures seemed particularly chaotic, (I didn't even get a picture with my mom!) so this was kind of an afterthought! And whoever started the "let's just leave," I'm mad at you! I turned around and half the family was just gone! Turds.

XOXO, Ness
