One of the highlights of my summer is a trip to Figure 8 Island to take pictures of the Haley children. I’ve known the Haleys since they were in elementary school and love to see them all grown up with children of their own. They were delightful children and they have only gotten better with age. This is the third year I’ve done pictures at Figure 8 – and I always look forward to the trip. It’s wonderful when a shoot starts and ends with big hugs!
When I first arrived the sun was still a little high, so we let the children play and I relaxed on the beach. I had brought along a small white wicker chair hoping to get a few pictures of Mary in the chair. But, Haley took a seat and started directing the action. In this shot, she sat and instructed her parents to get behind her.
Once the light was right, we got a few pictures of the entire family and of Anie’s and Michael’s families. I had to work fast because the children were ready to play.
After we got the required family groups, we just let the children play. And being little water bugs, they headed straight for the ocean. Haley would rush in and get her feet wet – then stop. But not Mary! She kept right on running until someone stopped her. I got a lot of pictures from the back because without a snorkel or scuba gear, I couldn’t get out deep enough to stay in front of these little girls. Haley and Mary had a wonderful time playing in the ocean – white linen dresses and all.
