Default Beach Haven Portraits

Here are some portraits of my daughter, Mackenzie, during our recent trip to Long Beach Island, NJ. You comments and critiques are welcome. I used to go to the beach and not give a 2nd thought about camera care, now it's funny how paranoid I am when I catch sight of evil sand. It is true what they say: It gets everywhere! Thanks for looking!

These are really good shots of MacKenzie....I really like the second one best for some reason...not sure why. Hope you had fun.

Nice series of images. Welcome to my neck of the woods. I live right over the bridge on the mainland. Most of my images are from LBI.

Mackenzie is adorable and your pictures are well captured and presented and I think I prefer the black and white shots to the lone colour example. You have a beautiful daughter and the camera likes her, good job porkchop_express

Beachcomber,
Thank you. I have to agree that the B&Ws are may favorites, as well. To me, it feels as if they do a better job than the color example of freezing the moment.
