Another beautiful family portrait session at Rexhame Beach in Marshfield! I just love this expanse of beach, and it's a new favorite spot for our sessions in the summer and fall.

I have been photographing Finley & Bella since they were teeny-tiny 4-pound newborns. These girls have come to me every few months for portraits, and I have loved watching them grow into happy, playful toddlers! At the same time, I have such a hard time believing that they are growing up so quickly and that they're already running around and starting to talk!

This little ticklish moment below is my absolute favorite portrait of them -- those chunky little toddler legs peeking out from their dresses, their smiles, the nose wrinkles, and the way they stick their tongues between their teeth. Perfection. This one shot makes me fall so in love with this stage of toddlerhood!

The girls were all about the TICKLES. They loved tickling each other and receiving tickles from mom and dad. Bella even started tickling herself and cracking up, which of course sent all of us into peals of laughter!

Beautiful Finley. We couldn't tear her away from the water, and later in the evening she sat down in the waves and let them wash right over her! Once she was wet, she was happy and kept going back to get even more soaked. Thankfully we captured a lot of photos BEFORE she was wet & sandy!

Bella wasn't as much a fan of the water, and every time her mom tried to lower her toes into the waves she would pick her legs up the second the water came near. She loved the sand, though -- give her some sand to sift through her fingers and a few rocks to collect, and she was a happy girl!
