Mosquito Bites and a Family Beach Photoshoot

The past few weeks have been quite busy around here.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up and share with you guys some of the fun I’ve been having... Well, it’s been mostly fun except for the bad reaction I had to some mosquito bites (or no-seams) at the beach.  Did I ever mentioned how allergic I am to mosquito bites?  One mosquito bite on me swells up and it usually takes about two weeks to go away.  This time they got me good!  I’m talking over 20 bites on my arms. The itch???  OMG, horrible!  I had to take Benadryl.  I know some people that love the chance for some Benadryl.  But, I can’t stand that sense of feeling drugged out and drowsy.

Anyways, back to photography and the reason for this post.  A few days ago I had the pleasure to work with this sweet family.  Meet Adena, her daughter and two grandkids.   Adena’s daughter was visiting from Tennessee, and this was the perfect time to gather for a family photoshoot. 

This is Nicholas and Kevin... they were so good and patient with me.  Especially because I kept saying “just one more, I promise!”

Towards the end of the shoot, Kevin turned to his mom and said  “I didn’t know there was gonna to be sooo many pictures”!  He said it with such honesty... it just cracked me up!!!  I guess he had no idea what was coming when they told him he was getting some pictures taken.  Maybe he realized the $10 he was getting for this just wasn’t enough!  LOL
