I’ll start by saying, trying to go on vacation and leaving all your work and worries behind is pretty tough when you’re photographers at heart.  Images move us, we’re advocates of capturing the seemingly every-day actions we go thru and figuring out how to document the easily forgotten.  It’s obvious to many to get family photos taken or to hire a wedding photographer on that one amazing day, but the images that you’ll be most drawn to in life will be the ones of experiences you had in your daily existence.

Kari and I recently were giving the opportunity to sneak away to reconnect and refresh our souls in the Gulf of Mexico on St. Pete’s Beach, Florida.  Drawing on our affection for live music, we happened upon the perfect beach setting with a gathering of local musicians for a Sunday afternoon drum circle.  The free-spirited energy set the mood for the rest of our vacation and many great memories were had.

We’re often asked how we capture our own memories so, humbly and honestly, here is us at play.  Enjoy.
