hit the beach!

Last week, the Ferrador and the Mantz families hit the beach for a fun portrait session. The images will be used as gifts for Sam and Matt's parents' anniversary (congrats Lynn and Kenny) and as a birthday gift for all the kids' grandmother. Our session began somewhat athletic, as Sam and Matt were waiting for the rest of the family to arrive:


Thanks for taking the plunge!

A nice one for Mums:

Here they are....

The girls are surprisingly strong.... Go Alex!

Go Sam!











Ice cream!


A much-needed clean-up:


Big kids!



Haha... This was Shelley's idea! (Disclaimer: No women were present during the shooting of this photo)

michelle & dan

they have arrived!

After weeks of racing to my mailbox, I have finally received my first couple pairs of flip flops (Flip Flop Exchange noted a few posts down) and I totally love 'em! I was getting nervous that no one would participate, but luckily some people did.... Thank you Mallory and Kirsten!!!!
