Impromptu Beach Photoshoot

It was a beautiful day on Friday, so Chris and I grabbed our Nerf swords and headed out to the beach to sword fight like the giant kids we are. Although we have the mentality of children, we don't really have the never-ending amount of energy that kids do, so we ended up getting tired and sitting in the sand together. Once I whipped my camera out, it turned into an impromptu photoshoot. :)

We ventured over to this pavilion-type structure and took some pictures there.

He thought it'd be cool to do silhouette shots, so we attempted it. I fell in the process of jumping up and down for these shots. Oh, the things we do for pictures.

[This makes me think of Spiderman. lol]

He took some outfit shots of me too! This is a somewhat daring outfit for me. I would have never worn something like this a couple of years ago. I have grown a little less self conscious and have been stepping out of my comfort zone a lot lately in regards to fashion choices. I am glad I wore this though because it was the perfect beach outfit. It's simple and perfect for really warm days.

Shirt: Girl Krazy
Shorts: No Excuses, thrifted
Shoes: Payless
Sunglasses: H&M

This is another of the pairs of shorts that I got from Goodwill. I got teased for wearing such high-waisted shorts by a couple of my guy friends, but they're silly boys who just don't know what's in fashion. :P
From the pavilion, we moved onto the lighthouse and Chris took over the camera for the most part. He used his sunglasses to take the first picture. It came out all eerie looking which we both found neat.

I love lighthouses. They're so pretty and there is some sort of romantic and saving quality about them that I really admire.

This next picture is one of Chris's favorites, and one of mine too. For a while, he was just taking pictures while lying down on the ground and the angle worked really well.




We decided to take more silhouette pictures. First we took some of each other...

[I'm pretty sure he was still on the ground for these]

...then we found a place to rest the camera on so we could both be in the pictures. We each kept running back and forth between the camera and the spot where we were standing to reposition things and check how the pictures were coming out. I've never done the whole photoshoot thing with someone else before. I am glad that I found a boy who enjoys this. :)





That last one is my favorite of us. :)
