The Millers Go to the Beach! ~ Tacoma Family Photographer

I'm sure if you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you recognize and remember the Miller Family. Not only are they good friends of mine, but they are also regular clients, and I get the honor of documenting their family as their sweet little girl grows up!

I knew that after my last session with them at Blueberry Park, the bar had been set pretty high, so we needed to choose a great location and really knock it out of the park (which we did). The beach you'll see is near Twin Harbors State Park, on the Washington coast. It was predictably gray and cool, but you wouldn't know it from the way Anastasia was frolicking around in the surf! Towards the end of our shoot, we stripped her down and sat her in the surf (with Mom just off camera), assuming she would hate it and need immediate rescuing. But to our great surprise and amusement, she LOVED it. She sat in that cold water, then ran around in it, and then continued her naked romp on the beach for quite some time until clothes were forced back on her. Needless to say, I took several (tasteful) shots of this entire escapade.
