Last summer, we became Facebook friends with a beautiful family who were planning a family vacation in Surfside Beach. We planned a shoot. We watched the weather. We scheduled and rescheduled and then....horror of horrors, food poisoning struck and we had to cancel the photography session altogether.

Over the past year, we have still been Facebook friends. Imagine our excitement when Michele contacted us again and said they were planning another vacation to Surfside and would we be available to do a family session. We jumped at the chance!

And while it was a long time in the making, our first in person encounter with faraway friends was well worth the wait. It's true what they say, you know....good things come to those who wait....good friends come to those who wait too.

We wish for the Males family a very happy vacation and safe travels back to their home. We will certainly enjoy their Facebook posts until the next time.
