LJR Images
We love to have a family/couple photo taken while on vacation. It is the only time we are all together and no excuses! Book with LJR Images and she will give you a discount if you mention my name, Christie Goldman. She's wonderful and will schedule a beach or other location.

Baby equipment for rent
If you don't want to bring all of your baby gear to the beach, (or forget something) there is a place that you can rent items. How cool is that! Prices seem pretty reasonable. Look for beachbabyrentalsct on instagram by Annette Hubbard.
