florida~part three~jumpers waiting


here are "the girls" from perspicasity.

over the past few years i've gotten to know ann {she's in the red} since we're in seaside so often and i was beyond thrilled to take a photo of the current crew while they were celebrating a little "end of summer" dinner on the beach.

okay is it just me, or is the girl who totally "lost her face" to her beautiful hair in the jumping photo cracking you up, too?



this family cracks me up. well, mostly just the guy with the baby. i told him he couldn't jump with a baby in his arms and showed him how to fake it. instead, i think he's waving at me. no matter what he's doing, he made me laugh...but the baby...she's not impressed.


these kids need a round of applause.
first for their exuberance and second for an amazing coordinated jump. a big thank you to their mom for letting me take their photo.



here is the most precious family from texas. i think the men kind of rolled their eyes {you know who you are dad} when i mentioned jumping, but the women all said "YES" and were not going to let long dresses get in their way.



this couple you saw in an earlier post, but they are glutens for punishment and came back for more a few nights later. i have some beautiful "anniversary" photos that i took of them, but i know that "jumpers" are patiently waiting for me to post their shots, so i included this couple's jumping photo, too.



this family i shot in one take. they were totally on board and when i said jump and it was like they had been practicing for years. younger kids usually don't get the "bent knees and arms in the air" position that i explain ahead of time, but holy toads, these kids listened and performed.


who cares how short her dress is. it's the beach.
{ps, they were adorable}


this is the cottage we stayed in and since a few of you have asked, here's the link to it.

  4. I am reading and laughing, great stuff. Wonderful photos of beautiful people, and some great backgrounds too. II didn't know the tip of bent knees.....what do you do, walk up to stangers and say, "hey, would you jump for me?" You crack me up. Having done a family jump shot once, I know how hard it is to get the timing right, but the out takes are hilarious. Great photos Beth
