Priceless

Our good friend Crystal took these pictures for us a few weeks ago.

I can't even begin to express my gratitude for her sharing her skill with our family-

I mean, seriously, she won't even let us pay her-

and for me, documenting my family at this stage of life,

and in this place,

is just priceless.

It was a pretty gray day, so we didn't get the gorgeous sunset colors we have in the past,

Chase was super uncooperative,

and it was super hot and humid (so we turned into a sweaty mess pretty quickly)

and despite all of that, she still managed to get some awesome shots.

This one of Chase is my absolute favorite, and is definitely going in a frame when we get home.

This is her third time doing this for us (see previous photo shoots here and here)

and every time I'm so pleased with the cute pictures she seems to get even when my kid will not look at the camera. This time Chase was just way more into playing in the sand and in about 5 minutes he was completely covered, but as happy as can be!

Thank you so much Crystal!
