I had been inspired by a photo I saw of a little girl wearing this long flowing dress, standing in still water with this stone cold expression on her face. So I ordered my niece a dress, curled her hair and took her to the ocean. We got there and I realized that the photo I was inspired by was not going to happen. It was SO windy it blew her curls out within the first 5 minutes, the waves were so high there was no way she would have been able to stand still in the water, and Tea was SO excited, the stone cold face was also a no.
And you know what? It was SO much better. I threw the vision out the window and said, okay Tea, do whatever you want. Teagan is equal parts princess and free bird. So being all dressed up and hair curled but being allowed to run free seemed to just speak to her. She seemed to love the combination. There was a lot of interpretive dancing, singing like Ariel, running from waves, spinning in circles, and laughing. Lots of laughing.
We spent two hours there, we watched the sun go down. We had the best time. We didn’t want to leave! <3
I hope you can feel the joy we felt by looking at these pictures! <3
