We headed to the beach for a long weekend and snuck in a quick photo shoot. This is the second year in a row I’ve managed to capture a beach pic so I think this will be our new summer tradition. Just for reference, here is last year’s at Isle of Palms, South Carolina.

I can’t believe how much everyone has grown! My big kids seem to have gotten especially teenager-y over the course of the year.

The boys ran off pretty fast but I caught the girls quickly enough that they posed for a sisters’ pic and I’m so happy that I did. My sister is my best friend in the whole world and I can’t imagine what life would be like without her. I love it so much that my girls have each other.

The twins wanted to also do a dressed-up twilight shoot. They are just the most fun to photograph, too. I never have to do more than ask and they are ready to go!

Cal snuck out there on the beach to make his sisters laugh, which is always appreciated.
