Part 3~ Puerto Villarta. a day in the sand.

One afternoon away from the ship would be alright... I told myself. The shore excursion held promise of watersides, nice clean beaches, shopping and buckets of Coronas. We boarded a comfortable bus, drove about 30 minutes north crossing into another part of Puerto Villarta and obviously into a resort "city". I could not even call this a town.

It even had a Starbucks ( ding ding!)

Here are a few moments form that lazy afternoon spent in the sun ~

Hello, Sweetness!

I made a new friend this week.
She has not been here very long, but she sure is a curious little thing.
Perfect peachy skin and such bright clear eyes, it was even cute when she cried!
(well, for me that is)

I like babies, but I think I really Love photographing them.

Too bad my baby is now 5. 1/3 years old.



Meet Annalise~

bubbles.

 Took a break today from the norm. 

Grabbed my kiddo.

My Lensbaby.

Fresh pack of bubbles.

Embraced the last few moments of daylight.

This is for the small moments.

THIS is why I take pictures.
 

Model shoot~ three lovely ladies

 I understand now why fashion photography is so alluring, almost contagious. From the moment I saw the incredible make up and the wonderful combination of clothing textures, my mind started to spin. I didn't even get a chance to photograph all the models either, but I had such a fantastic time! 

Great models, great company.

 

The lovely wedding of Tony and Carrie~

 What I find to be so fascinating about weddings is the incredible amount of detail that is so unique to each ceremony. 

Intimate and personal, chosen out of love to represent love.

...and then we had this thing called a "character breakfast".

I have never experienced one of Disneys character breakfasts before. Owen was armed with his autograph book and pen, and we had a chance to meet some pretty famous faces I am sure you will recognize. Fast paced and fun, our waiter also had no problem utilizing napkins to make us all hats, can you guess who we all are?

This may be Chip... or it might be Dale. Not sure.

Ahoy! Part one.

Disney has a way of making magic, even at sea. These are a snippit of our first day, leaving Long beach for 7 lovely nights aboard the Disney Wonder. Owen had no idea until we literally pulled up in front of the ship, and I think it is safe to say he was one happy little man.
