Every year we pack up the car with way too much stuff, the dog and the toddler and drive to Gulf Shores, Alabama for a little beach time. This year, we did it over Mother’s Day which is a great way to spend what I like to call “go ask your dad” day. At four-years-old Magnolia is at that prime beach age where everything is so magical- the shells, the waves, and all that delicious warm sand between your toes. I love capturing these fleeting moments of her childhood.
