A Chilly Afternoon on the Beach

What happens when you are both photographers, have the ultimate cool sky day, and live a mere ten minutes from an awesome beach? You make it family photo afternoon of course!!

Despite the fact that it was only 18C out and very windy, we just had to do our shoot on Sunday. I had been waiting for a day like this for awhile. So it was carpe diem time!!

Initially, we all thought we were going to perish from the cold, but watching the waves and getting our feet wet (the water was warm), helped us all forget how cold it was. It was perhaps a little too windy to have a good hair day, but if any of us was having a bad hair day before the shoot, you certainly can't tell who in the photos.

I was thrilled with the light and the colours!! Who would have though that water that usually looks so blue could look so ... brown!

In the end, we now have our family photo for our church directory too. If you would like to know what I mean by photo for the church directory, you can check that out here.
