Baby Blues on the Beach | Flower Mound, TX Children's Photography

We recently went to Galveston Island, TX for vacation.  I have fond memories of going to Galveston as a child growing up in Houston.  Our girls loved playing in the sand but were not so crazy about the salt water and waves.  On our last day, I wanted to take some portraits of them on the beach in their matching dresses.  Well our 4 year old refused to wear the matching dress her big sister was wearing.  Thankfully I had a backup that coordinated.  We ran out of time to take them before dinner so we headed down to the beach after dinner with ice-cream stained dresses and were quickly loosing light.  These "portraits" turned into "snaps" due to uncooperative children.  Which I still cherish b/c they were just being themselves.  Maybe someday I'll get those dream beach portraits.

This is what I captured of my 4 year old, she was refusing to have her "picture" taken and just wanted to play in the sand.  She is our messy child, always has been.

It was so windy!

Attempt to get one just a flashy snap after sun set of both of them.

The joys of being a photographer's child!
