Wow, what beautiful pictures! And you really lucked out on a gorgeous day at the coast (we know how iffy the chances of that are here in Oregon.)
Posted by: Sarah | July 30, 2007 at 12:27 PM
Awesome pictures Karen! Love them all! We went to the Coast yesterday, it was so fun!

Your photos are amazing!! Isn't it great what escaping with your family can do? :)
Posted by: Jen K | July 30, 2007 at 12:55 PM
Looks like you guys had an awesome day! We're planning to hit the beach tomorrow. Have a great week...crossing my fingers for your drawing :)

Fantastic photos! I think a day at the beach would change anyone's attitude, I love the beach! I just adore that photo of Annie sleeping on the blanket and the ones of you kind of snapping down on the two girls! Awesome!

Good grief - how do you manage to take so many amazing photos in one day! (And how do you get away with taking a DSLR camera to the beach without sand getting in and ruining it??)
Did you use Photoshop to enhance the colour in the photos or is that just how the day was?

Posted by: Amy | July 30, 2007 at 01:52 PM
You DO take the most gorgeous pictures, Karen! I love the reflections in the water and your family's expressions. Thank you for always inspiring me to do better and try more!!

Truly the most amazing photos! I LOVE the photo of your daughters (holding hands) and of course the one where Annie is sleeping...so precious!
Posted by: Donna | July 30, 2007 at 02:46 PM
The picture of your daughter napping is incredibly sweet. I love taking pictures of my daughter while sleeping. While she's fabulous while she's awake, there's something angelic about her while she sleeps! Enjoy your classes tremendously and your eneregy!
Posted by: Laura | July 30, 2007 at 03:01 PM

Posted by: Mary | July 30, 2007 at 04:02 PM
These photos are absolutely the best. I love the girls walking along the beach, Josh with Annie, and Courtney and Coley eating on the surfboard. There's not enough space to list them all ... it's like watching life in stills. Thanks for sharing.

great photos! I love the one of the kids eating ice cream on the boogie board...with the reflection. how absolulty awesom!
Posted by: Sarah S | July 30, 2007 at 09:38 PM
That is SO not the Oregon Coast, is it? ;-) Going in August--and just praying for some sunshine and no wind. What beach were you at? LOVE the pictures. Every one. Didn't respond to your other post--but you summed up exactly what I'm feeling--doing so much, and not doing any of it well. Family, full time job, house, yard, bills, chores, church volunteering--wish I could say scrapbooking! And summer is ending way too fast, before time to enjoy it. Where's the beach?! Thanks for sharing your heart. (and do you protect your camera in any way when at the coast?)
Posted by: Amy Emery | July 30, 2007 at 10:02 PM
You have a beautiful family and you take amazing pictures! I can't wait for your class in Salem so I can pick your brain! Ha! Yeah, my family went to Seaside just a few weeks ago and of course it had to rain all day. So sad. But got some cute pics with the umbrella, so it wasn't a complete waste :)
Posted by: Carolyn Davis | July 30, 2007 at 10:17 PM
WOW the photos are so great!! What a sweet family!
Posted by: Mirija | July 31, 2007 at 02:33 AM
Gorgeous photos Karen! The first one is definitely my fave!
Posted by: Diane DiTullio | July 31, 2007 at 05:28 AM
So glad you had a great time at the beach. Those pictures are wonderful as always. You always know which ones to take.
have a great rest of your week.
