Our memories are made of experiences.  Every time we partake in an activity together as a family, all the happenings are locked into our minds.  We re-live them through stories and of course, photos.  This is why I love the idea of families ‘doing things’ together.  Recently, I did a photo session where we brought ice cream, cones and a scoop to the beach.  For this session, we just walked up and down Main Street in Balboa and simply had fun eating.  Of course it’s not the perfectly posed family portrait, but it’s real life.  A little messy and perfectly imperfect.
