Cape Cod Vacation by lauriehiggins

Cape Cod Vacation

Just before sunset tonight, I came across a large family on the beach taking group photos. The women all had white sundresses on and the men had khaki shorts or pants, for the perfectly coordinated photo. I sat in the sand and just watched. This little guy was marching to his own drum, chasing seagulls and not in uniform. After the rest of the family left, his parents played with him and their smiles said it all for me.
I bet this photo is prettier than all the other posed photos they took! You see the joy, love, and the light! All so stunning!

@lorihiro Thank you. You got the whole point of this photo for me, I spent alot of time watching this family and studying the photo shoot. And then I wanted to take a better shot of them - something that really captured it better than the staged photos they were doing,

@lorihiro If we do go to Vegas, you will be the first person I get in touch with. That would be SO much fun, especially now that you know all the best places to photograph.
