I have no idea where this coconut came from -- I considered possibly from the Gulf Stream, just like a message in a bottle. I momentarily fantasized about the lush tropical location of it's origin, and was actually a tad disappointed to hear the B Family announce it was there all week, left by other vacationers, uhm, not quite so exciting after all.
Unlike the non-exotic coconut, the B Family was full of fun and surprises. I had photographed part of their family last summer, and have really enjoyed watching the children grow up so fast. Here were some of my favorite lifestyle images from the session.
This little lady was hysterical - absolutely no fear with the big waves. She LOVES the ocean! It's common for this age to be a little nervous around the unpredictable waves, but not her - she couldn't be held back.
This is her big brother, after a quite large wave saturated him with salt and plenty of sand. I think I know where his little sister learned to love the water...
