One of my favorite photos ever...

is of me and my Little on the beach in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was her first trip to the beach, and we specifically went to do a little mini-shoot with Jared's sisters and brother-in-law. It was really windy and kind of chilly that day, but she didn't care, she had a blast! She explored the rocky sandy beach, ran away from the waves, and had to have multiple hand cleanings. :)

Toward the end after we were all ready to leave and the sun was begining to set, I called her to come so we could go back to Jared's brother's house. Jared had the camera and grabbed this shot.

I love it because of the memory I have of her running to me with her arms wide open and big smile. I love it because I now have this memory forever. As a photographer, I don't always get to be in the photos since I'm behind the camera.

That's why I love being a photographer, because I get to do this for my clients. I get warm fuzzies just thinking about it!
