My family loves to travel to far away and exotic places. Yet year after year, for the last 11 years, we’ve been going to Ocean City, New Jersey. It’s our ‘happy place’ and we absolutely love it there. We love everything from the beach to the boardwalk, to amusement parks to surrey rides, from made-to-order Donuts from Fractured Prune to tomato pie from Bennies. If you want to see what we are usually up to in Ocean City, you can check out this post I put together last year.

One thing that we always do is a beach photoshoot – I first photographed my girls and my husband on the beach when we first went down there – in the summer of 2012 and I’ve done it every year ever since. I love seeing how my girls have changed through the years. Here are a few photos from this year’s photoshoot – I can’t believe how grown up my kids are – when did this happen?!!!
