After we took portraits at the beach, we headed to Hampton Beach to take some sea wall photos, something we’ve done almost every year since Nate was born. One of these days, I’ll dig up all the sea wall photos we have and make up storyboard comparisons for you to see.
The wind was pretty strong and the sun pretty bright but all in all I really like these shots. 
One of my maine (yes a little pun) objectives of going to Maine was to get some family portraits at the beach. Like I mentioned before, Ariana’s weekly family shots really inspired me to get more family pics. I think back from when I was a kid and I think we only had family shots done once or twice. Granted, it was a bit more difficult back then before the digital camera age…and it helps to have a photographer in the family.
Anyway, it was really sunny and bright the morning we went to take these, thus all the squinting by everyone. Still, I really loved the way they came out. You’d never tell that the kids (especially my Natey) were not enjoying the photography session. We tried to give them breaks to run around but we were fighting ol’ Mother Nature as a storm was about to come rolling in.
Here are my favorites from this beach, York’s Long Sands.
Coming up in the next installment of our Maine vacation, MORE portraits! This time from Hampton’s sea wall! You can see last year’s photos at the sea wall HERE.
Here’s the second installment of photos from our Maine vacation.
On Monday night after the trolley ride, we took the kids out for ice cream. All 3 kids had chocolate soft serve on a cone. Take a peek!

And another…
Not sure what that face is but it’s funny!
We took the kids to the Maine Wildlife Park on Wednesday before we headed home. It was fun to see the wildlife that’s native to Maine. We saw deer, moose, raccoons, bears, fisher cats and a few others. They had really neat places to take pics throughout the park and we took advantage of it.

Thanks to Ariana’s awesome weekly family shots, it’s inspired me to get more family shots. Notice the boot.
