You are probably so used to seeing my family and me on the beach.  Honestly, I have always tried to be a little more adventurous with my family pictures but for us, there is no other place we would rather be.  Growing up in South Africa I spent my weekends surfing and having bonfires on the beach.  Now as a mom, when I am living on the coast I spend any free time (even after school) at the beach.  It allows for so much creativity and empties our minds and makes us so much more appreciative of each and every day.

We were so excited to have our little Nicholas and my friend and amazing photographer Leah Hardy was always there to capture these special memories.  In the beginning of my pregnancy I believed there was no way I would love another child as much as I did our Sophia.  Our heart is a muscle and it only grows and our love expands.  It’s such a beautiful gift.
