This sweet little family from Michigan (a.k.a. my Brother, Sister-in-law and Nephew) set aside some time for family portraits while on vacation to visit us in Texas. Not only was this the family’s first visit to Texas, but little Gavin’s first plane ride and first time seeing the ocean! I’m not gonna lie, I got a little overwhelmed watching his parents steady him as he wobbled toward the water and touched the ocean for the very first time. The fascination on his face was so amazing to see. I wish he could have talked to tell us everything that was going through his mind. Of course he is much to young to one day remember this, but the rest of us will. And we have the sweetest pictures to show him one day.

This baby bucktooth pacifier made me laugh out loud. It was such a fitting little “prop” for a Texas photo shoot!
