christmas photos accomplished.

not many people can say that they have christmas photos for their family done in JUNE. 

i can.

we're finally back from my dream vacation

spot, washington. 

i know...there are gorgeous places like maui.

however, i burn really easily.

burning to a crisp and being in pain is not

my idea of an awesome vacation.

whidbey island, however, has water, beaches AND no burning sun, due to a lot of cloudy days.

i could seriously get use to having a view of water to look at everyday.

while we were on vacay,

we had our family photos taken.

i imagine this fall to be a pretty hectic time

around here with justin's trainings, etc.,

and i wanted to take photos in a beautiful place.

i mean, why spend all of that money on

a spot to vacation and not have seriously awesome photos to remember it by??

that being said, i found mikaela and she

worked her magic. 

you can check out her post on the shoot here.

in the meantime,

here's a little sneak peek.
