So I’m a few days early, but I figured you could use a laugh…Hermione is going to be a dinosaur for Halloween. Originally, she was going to be Hermione Granger, but then…we figured we could do that to her any ol’ day.
Before you go all PETA on me, she jumps around like a three-year-old on Skittles when she sees an outfit, and shoves her head through the neckhole and armholes with enthusiasm. The dog loves dressing up. This doesn’t make it easy to resist the temptation to dress her up and take pictures. Particularly when she is busy being a ferocious dinosaur.
Hope your holiday is full of at least four pounds of candy!
* The best light at the shore will happen when the sun isn’t directly overhead and/or drilling itself into your kids’ eyeballs. So, 8-10 a.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. are great times for grabbing atmospheric pictures.
* If your kiddos insist on being on the beach in midday, bring sunglasses. You’ve tripled their cuteness factor and eliminated the Mom-it-hurts-to-look-at-the-camera beach shots that will just get deleted anyway.
* If you have an SLR camera, please don’t change lenses while on the beach, as sand on your camera’s sensor can cause crazy damage. Hit up a close-by building that is free of wind to switch lenses.
* Don’t forget to put your camera down and enjoy the moment! Happy vacation!
