last week my boys and i went on a mini roadtrip to stay with an old friend and fellow single momma of two boys. it was an incredible adventure that we all enjoyed thoroughly. her neighbors from home were also vacationing in the house next-door, so there were NINE kiddos around to keep things lively! landon got stung by a jelly fish for the first time (a rite of passage, in my book!), we went fishing and caught each other’s lines (LOL), played minute to win it (BRILLIANT idea by my friend, nicki), and laughed pretty much constantly. the boys are already begging to go back, so we hope we’re invited again next year!
i brought my camera on a last minute whim and had such pleasure documenting our short get away. the photojournalistic approach is a refreshing perspective from the staged and contrived nature of traditional portraiture. i’ll stick with a mix of both, but i may have to bring my camera out more often. 🙂
