The colors of the gulf coast are just stunning in this part of Florida. I decided on an impulse that I wanted to take family pictures at the beach. It just seemed wrong to come all that way and not take advantage of this wonderful background. Will was kind enough to take us to the beach and snap some shots of us. Actually Will took the pictures that had the whole family and Asher took the rest. I am pleased with how they turned out. I think that came out as well as what many professional photographers would take, with this many small children involved. Hindsight is 20/20, and I did learn a few things for the next time I want to do this somewhere else. Next time I will take a fascinating toy for someone to hold near the camera. I think that would have helped out immensely. I will also try to make sure everyone's needs are met so we can spend more time during the shoot. Asher was trying to be patient, but he just really had to pee. So we did not take as many pictures as I would have liked. I think our next pictures are going to be awesome.

I republished these pictures because I discovered that in the Picasa program that I am using, there is a feature where I can give the picture a glow. I think it gives these particular pictures a more professional look.
