Dominican Republic Vacation

This past week I spent my time in Punta Cana, Domincan Republic. It was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every single second of it. My only wish was that I could have stayed longer. :) The beach was gorgeous, the hotel was awesome and the scenery.. breath-taking. I was asked to shoot a wedding there and couldn't say no... NEVER! I ended up bringing my son and my mom and little brother went with as well. We all had a great time kayaking, swimming, tanning, drinking yummy drinks, watched awesome shows, met the sweetest and most kind people you could ever meet and realized you don't need much to be happy. I mean.. we knew that, but these people truly showed it. I would love to go back there again and do more off the resort that involved the lives of the Dominicans. What they taught us in that short amount of time was amazing. The kids were super friendly as well as super adorable. We had nothing bad to say about our trip to the Dominican Republic. It's a place that will hopefully be visited again.

P.S.. photos of the wedding will soon follow. :)

Virginia Beach Photography

Believe it or not, I haven't been taking many photos lately of my kids or the family. There has been so much going on that I find I don't grab my camera as I run out the door. However, I do have my iphone with me and do tend to snap some images with that. They are nothing special but none the less, they are my kids and I have captured their fun personalities. We went to Virginia Beach and I took a few pics of the hot day, the fun waves and the cute smiles. enjoy. ( I also noticed they are watermarked with love of country. It's my other blog.. oh well.)

 

Yorktown, VA Family Photographer

Two weekends ago, I shot a family session in Yorktown at the beach area. Kayla had contacted me about getting some photos done of her adorable family. It was a gorgeous and perfect day. I can't believe it's the middle of June and we have had such cool days. Usually, we are sweating and staying inside by now. Here's a glimpse of how it all went.

Outer Banks, NC

I'm beginning to get behind in posting. A lot has been going on over the last month and there have been way too many photos. I've decided to start with the most recent and then work my way backwards. I mean.. Europe is going to have a billion to go through. I'm not sure when I will get caught up with those, not to mention the weddings coming up and photo sessions. Anyway, this past weekend was our weekend in the Outer Banks. We were supposed to go last year, but the hurricane ruined that one. It was super strong and pretty much wiped away the KOA as well as the bridge getting over there. As we drove down there this year, you could tell they were still repairing so many things. A few years ago we went and camped at the KOA and ended up leaving at 2am. It was HOT, HUMID and miserable!!! This year they built brand new cabins and with having three kids in tow, we went with that!! It was such a great and relaxing time. The kids had a blast. If it weren't for the man eating mosquitos that about made us bleed to death, I would say there was nothing wrong the entire weekend. We sent balloons to heaven, bounced, rode bikes, beached it for a bit, caught crabs in the sand, swam in the pool, ate ice cream and BBQ. Oh, and got lots of sun. We could do that every weekend if you let us :) It was a nice kick off to whats about to happen this summer.
