I remember the first time we came to Newport on vacation. It all seemed like a dream that people actually lived their day to day in a place like this. I remember walking on the beach one afternoon while my family was napping thinking how unreal it would be to call this town home. Fast forward seven years later and the beach is now my backyard. Like most everything in life, I unfortunately don’t feel quite the hazy dream when I step onto the sand anymore. However, it’s still one of our favorite places to come hang out at on the weekends. And those sunsets continue to make me oh so happy every time I get to shoot a family in front of it! Especially when the family has as much joy as this one! I’ve had the privilege of watching these boys behind my camera since the youngest was just a little baby. Each year with them is my new favorite! So much love and happiness, the sun and sky seemed to want to laugh right along with them. :)
