and I am no exception. When packing for the beach every Mama looks for the perfect beach outfit for that photo session. You know the one, you force your toddler into a dress, drag them out on the beach and then say "come on...smile, enjoy!!" I had my little white dress hanging in the closet all ready but one night I had her in her flower dress and just thought she looked so beautiful I took her to the beach and took a few.I love this dress on her..the colors are perfect. The wind was blowing so hard I thought it would knock her down but she thought it was pretty funny. The only thing she didn't like was the sand blowing so we made sure we went down to the water to alleviate that. Of course my sunlight sensitive girl then let me know the sun was in her eyes : )




As usual I waited until our last night at the beach to do her planned white dress photo shoot. I need to do it earlier in the week when she is not so sick of seeing my camera in her face LOL Obviously I think she is beautiful but I have to admit she was not happy doing it and so it wasn't that much fun for either of us. Luckily we brought her kite along and she was so anxious to do that for the first time it made her cooperate for a minute.

Daddy got the kite into the air and this was her reaction seeing it. She had watched people flying them all week and wanted to do it herself so she was pretty excited!

Here she is actually holding the string...flying a kite for the first time. I think it is pretty clear how much fun she is having! (don't worry, Daddy had the handle/string in his hand so she is in no danger of being hurt by holding it like this....)

Daddy took over and she enjoyed trying to jump up and catch it.

After jumping for the kite for a while she headed to the water and did some jump and spin moves. I tried to catch her facing me but never did. When I looked at this one I noticed how far off the ground she is...such joy!

My beautiful girl...I am one lucky Mama!

There are no words to describe her in those dresses. ok there is one
Stunning.... She looks so beautiful out on the beach with that tan and those great colors.
I could look at those pictures all day. She is so beautiful. She keeps the hope in my heart.
hey i love the dark sky in the background - quite the modern model look!
Nope, I never get sick of beach pictures. It is such a perfect venue for taking pictures of kids: the breeze, the light, the relatively neutral background.
Love the first set especially. The dress color is perfect and was that late afternoon light? Beautiful.
Never tired of seeing pictures of Annslee. I love both dresses. I was soooo going to do this in Galveston but did not have the energy for it!
The flower dress is really pretty. I buy those "gotta have pictures of her in it" dresses all the time. Those are the best.
BEAUTIFUL pictures!!!!
Your white dress reminded me of last years pictures of you guys at the beach and I just went back to look at them in your archives....what a difference a year makes! I totally forgot how much of a baby she looked like last year.

Tired of beach pictures... I dont think so! Both those dresses look so cute! Coppertone looks good in anything... hehehe!
I just bought the white dresses for my own beach pictures. We go to Holland in a week. I hope we get some good weather! Great photos!!!
I'm definitely not sick of the pics. Keep 'em coming! She's beautiful.
Gah. When is Annslee going to come visit me so I can EAT HER UP?
So. beautiful! Great job!I could never get sick of them.
Gorgeous... breath-taking... adorable. No wonder you're a mamarazzi (did I get that right?) cause how could you resist? Add another vote to the "not tired of the beach photos" pile.
She is so cute! I love both dresses!
I haven't been to the ocean since 2003! We really need to go sometime!
Love the photos - especially the white dress ones! When we were in China we found that kite flying was just about a national pastime. We would wander down to a park or a lake and see dozens and dozens of kites being flown.
Um, no, I'll never get sick of photos of Miss Annslee. The beach ones turned out really great. I especially love the first dress. The colors look beautiful on her.
I'm so glad that you got a chance to do the white dress photos. The colored one is pretty too, but that white one is professional quality material. Having such an adorable model doesn't hurt much either! She's so sweet!
Gorgeous photographs, but then you had a gorgeous subject.
Looks like she had a total blast.
I just love all the pics of her!
Beautiful beach pics! Stunning!
NOT sick of the beach pics!! Just beautiful!! And what is it about these Hubei girls & jumping??!! Our daughter jumps really high as well!!
Great pics, BEAUTIFUL Annslee!

lucky momma to a rascal from Hubei
Well you know how to kill a waiting mommy with cuteness. I can not wait to see my girl on the beach.
~Absolutely beautiful photos!~
Beautiful! I love your pictures. Annslee is so adorable. I enjoy the pictures where she doesn't want a picture. Those expressions are priceless.
You got some great pics!!! See, it was all worth it!!!
I hardly ever comment but I want you to know how much I appreciate your blog. I am so grateful that you share so many pictures of your beautiful daughter. Her sweet face brightens my day! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful! And wow, she levitates!
:O)
Soooo beautiful!!! These pictures are just great! We never tire of the beach pictures!!!
What a beautiful little princess.
I love the white dress pictures. So cute. You are a great "momarazzi". I used to live in Clearwater, Fl. It makes me miss it so much. Looks like you had tons of fun.
Just Beautiful!
She is SUUUCH a doll!
Heck no we aren't tired of beach pics! You got so many good ones!
I love both dresses. This was the first year I did not even take a white with me. I will probably go back to it next yr though.
I got 2 off white ivoryish ones on clearance Gymbo that will probably work for next yr. so I will have to think about it... ahhh decisions decisions ;)
You can bet I'd be looking for the perfect dresses if I was going to the beach. Your choices are fabulous! Great pictures of your little sweetheart.
Those are gorgeous pics. She is so pretty.
Blog tag! You're it! See my blog for details ;) Have fun!!!
WOW, absolutely stunning!! I love seeing all the pics of Annslee - she is just so beautiful. My only regret with our beach photos this year is that we didn't go at night time - next year we are stay on the beach not a 10 minute drive from it! LOL
Long time reader, first time commenting...she is just beautiful! And I love how spunky she always looks, she seems to have a great love of life.
Jump shot steals the show.
can never get sick of the beach photos, besides you guys are giving me good ideas for when we finally have our Chynna home (we are so close to the beach I'll have no excuses....)....
I LOVE both of those beautiful dresses and she (of course) looks beautiful in all of the pictures.
She does look so happy with the kite! How fun!
(and I wasn't sick of looking at the pics!)
These pictures are perfect! She looks so beautiful!! I do love that colorful dress on her. Those colors show off her pretty tan.
She is so so beautiful.
Oh I love the photos! And when we were at the beach (several times over this past summer...seeing how my dad & stepmom live there)...I never thought of taking her down to the beach at sunset for photos. The photos you took are breath-taking! She is one beautiful little girl!
(I'll have to remember that one for next year)
Who could get sick of THOSE pics, are you kidding me??? They're all beautiful - and I also love the one of all the girls in the previous post, where they're all digging in the sane!
BTW - no one who participates in the photo challenge is a professional photographer! And even if you WERE a pro, join us anyway! :)
sick of beach pics????
NEVER!!!
Just beautiful!!!
I love the jumping photo, she's such a beautiful little girl and seems to have so much personality
Seeing her makes the wait easier.

They are stunning! both dresses look great. As soon as I got my kids dressed up they became much less photogenic. it is like they know:)

Even though you say she was not happy to be there, the photos are awesome!!! The flower dress is gorgeous - the colors really pop out and are beautiful on Annslee. But the white dress...well, that is just a beautiful classic!!!
Nope, not sick of the beach pics, she is gorgeous as always! I just love them and think they turned out great! We LIVE at the beach, and I have taken hundreds of pics---none have turned out so well--just wait until you have 2 kids--then it is even more challenging. She is beautiful and just brightens my day!
Omg, I don't know which one I like better.. She is breathtaking
Found you through Mel's blog. These pics are amazing. What a beauty.
