I love having intentional time to photograph my family and make memories with them. This year we decided to rent a house on Little Gasparilla Island in Florida, https://www.vrbo.com/764492. Sea la vie was a beautiful place directly on the gulf. We choose to rent houses when we vacation as three little boys do not do well eating out three times a day or following too many rules. This allows them to explore, run free and be boys! The Island has no cars or stores, only gulf carts to get around, it also has the cutest little chapel you've ever seen on stilts. Landon learned how to swim this trip, all of the boys collected hundreds of shark teeth and sand dollars. We also had lots of visitors, Jeff's mom and step dad, my parents and my younger sister and family, it was so great spending a night with each of them, they were vacationing nearby at St. Pete. The ocean makes you feel so free, it really renewed my soul. I hope you enjoy a peak into our getaway, we are happy to be home as always! (I shot half of the images with film, on my contax 645, I love how soft they are.)
