Wave Running

In an effort to get out in front of the Christmas card process for 2011 we ventured of to Laguna Beach to take some pictures for our Christmas card.  We brought the whole family and met a photographer for a 10 minute trial photo shoot.   Lisa as always had done a great job of getting after the family Christmas photo and at a bargain for a quick shoot with a photographer. With clothing coordinated to appropriate neutral colors and no obtrusive patterns we headed for the beach. 
When we arrived we jumped right in and as advertised were done in 10 minutes.  We got a few really good pictures of us all.  Lisa and Siena were beautiful; it is easy to look good in pictures next to them.  But the one family member that smiled and looked at the camera is just about every picture was Bella. Our sweet pup was the perfect poser.




With the photo taking behind us and a little girl and pup ready to play we kicked off our shoes and headed to the waves.  Siena and Bella wanted to run in and out of the water and to play in the breaking waves.  Siena’s swimming lessons have taught her to love the water and so the ocean was a “big pool” opportunity.  She jumped up with excitement as the waves came in and held on tightly as the current dragged back out.  We were not exactly dressed for the occasion and all had a soggy ride home in our wet jeans, but got some great picture and videos of our family enjoying the day.  
Living in Southern California has its perks and a warm day at the beach in November is one of them.   Spending some time just enjoying each other and being together made for a wonderful weekend day.
