not sure if we would want a family photo with everyone soaked trough and sand stuck everywhere :) normally i don’t tend to photograph during the midday time as sun is very high, but recently have done lots of sessions mid day and don’t have much of a problem with bright sun. looks lovely - very pretty pink salts. it's big, flat and weighs a ton. she would then practice all the activities each day during the week. i'm bringing about six pairs of shoes!! well, you get the picture, don't you? also, the program was improved to process your files even faster!
