The biggest problem I have with hanging out in the surf with my kiddos is that I don’t get any pictures of us hanging out together in the ocean. I’ve tried the waterproof camera but I always end up preferring to not take it in with me-especially if I am swimming with both Merrik and Maliea. It’s enough to manage both of them in the ocean that I don’t need one more thing to hold on to and keep an eye on. So, what I get out of it is a fun and relaxing time playing with my kids and watching first hand their laughter, smiles and splashes as they jump over and dive under the waves.
I did take a picture of them playing with my phone in the back of the car and the surprising line-up of wetsuits for the cold weather this summer. This is definitely an unusual and rather disappointing sight. Jim and I like to avoid the full suit as much as possible but have had to resort to wearing one too many times this year.

The Berlanga family and I found a surprisingly quiet spot at the beach on a gorgeous summer day in San Clemente. One day before the sun decided to hide again, we discovered a little slice of beach-to-ourselves heaven and played to our hearts’ content with their cheerful and curious 18 month old boy.

We go to the SC Ocean Festival every year to support Jim in his open water swim competitions. I don’t think I would go just to hang out. It’s packed with lots of out-of-towners and the bravest of locals. I am not a big fan of going where the crowds are. That’s just me. It really . . . → Read More: [photography is] the san clemente ocean festival

Merrik was in The Basics of Skateboarding skateboard camp this week. He has had a skateboard since he was 3 but I have not been very encouraging to get him on it. I haven’t wanted to see him fall or get his fingers run over while he rides it on his belly. So, the fact of . . . → Read More: [photography is] the basics of skateboarding

I photographed another wonderful San Mateo family recently but this time it was a farewell session. They will be leaving our quiet beach town for wider pastures. It was so much fun to hang out with the four of them at two of their favorite beach spots here in San Clemente the other morning. I just . . . → Read More: [photography is] saying goodbye | southern california family photographer
