 This image has entered in a fun little photo challenge called “Day at the Beach” on the Rock the Shot Forum.  You can view tons of amazing images here:   www.rocktheshotforum.com, and even vote for our favorite image of Lilly!  {Pretty please?}

Lilly had a vision of where she wanted to have a session this week.  The beach was one of her “PLEASE, Mom!” locations, and she had the perfect dress.  How could I say ‘no’???   Side note:  She proudly found this beach-session-dream-dress for $5 at Plato’s!  She’s got an amazing sense of style!   She is also incredibly smart, undeniably artistic, athletic, thoughtful, funny, caring and a pretty good driver to boot.   So proud of the young woman she is, and excited for all that lies ahead.

Thanks to the wind and chill, we had the beach all to ourselves.  Loved this “platform thingy” that seemed to call to us.  Also discovered a view as we entered the beach area that could not go unphotographed.   Can we pretend we traveled somewhere exotic?  If only we had the turquoise seas to pull it off.  ;  D

So many images I’d love to share!  Such a lucky Mom…

Have a great weekend, Everyone!  <3
