Perry Family on the beach

Some dear friends of ours spent almost a week with us on New Smyrna Beach in Florida. I had never taken family pictures on the beach before so it was an experiment for me.. and what I learned most was that the sun sets too fast! I thought the sunset lighting would be the prettiest for colors in the sky, but it went by so fast that we finished in the dark practically. I still think they are really sweet.. and I LOVE the first family picture. I will post some actual fun vacation photos later when I get a chance to weed through them. But for now, enjoy my first attempt at beach portraits.
