Going on vacation with your family is an exciting time for everyone involved; you create memories that last a lifetime. The G family has been coming to the Weekapaug Inn for a few years and when they were planning their vacation this past year, they knew they wanted to document their vacation with photos to look back on in the future.  Mom reached out to a friend for recommendations, and they were pointed in my direction. I was so honored to be the one to capture their special moments together.  (Make sure you check out the video at the end – one of my favorites I have ever made!)

Mom mentioned how the boys love to play chess in the lounge – even though they were too little to truly understand the strategy of it, it was a memory she had of them playing with the pieces over the years.  So we started our session there – and their little fingers on the pieces and such a grown up game juxtaposed with them holding their lovies??  Got my mom heart big time.  From there we took things outside.  We began with a round of bocce on the court. The two young boys were eager to show off their skills and enjoyed having some friendly competition with mom and dad while I got a few photos to commemorate the moment. After that, it was time to get cozy! The family snuggled up in chairs on the lawn while I took candid shots that captured their love and affection for each other.  As if that wasn’t enough excitement, we ramped things up with some walking and running and even dancing!

From there we headed to the beach.  Because no trip to Weekapaug Inn in the summer would be complete without a stop at the beach.  I photographed a maternity session there a few years ago and loved it so I was excited to get back.  They grabbed a wagon and a football and off we went!  So.  Much.  Fun.  They ran in and out of the water, and jumped and twirled and told funny jokes and explored rocks and creatures.  It was the perfect way to wrap up our time together.

Definitely, absolutely hands down if you want an iconic, gorgeous, relaxed family vacation, Weekapaug is the place to be.  <3
