This is the time of year when we close the studio for a month and make time to be with our own families. I know that, like most portrait photographers, I am busiest October through December , when the workload multiplies to a crazy pace. After working like mad, with few days off during the last months of the year, a family vacation to someplace beautiful and relaxing is always what I want to see on my calendar! This year, we have a seven night cruise on to the caribbean and I will be shooting for myself with my trusty point-and-shoot as I usually do. We love to take cruises, because it is super easy with kids (you always know where they are, where you are eating, and where your stuff is) and this is our fourth family cruise of 2009! Both boys received cameras this year for the holidays; as you can see Ethan is excited to be shooting with his new little video camera.
We are on the Celebrity Solstice, a stunning ultra modern ship with an art collection that blows my mind and lots of special touches which I will photograph this week. My kids’ favorite place is The Lawn, a real grass deck that offers bocce ball, croquet, golf and other games or just a quiet soft space to relax and watch the view of Florida fade into the distance. How cool is this place?
