Reflections of a fabulous family vacation!
When I look at this image, I'm reminded of my son's favorite shades, my camera, and of our morning watching surfers at Stinson Beach.
I'm sure my kids will be reminded of how Mom had to stop for every photo-op on the trip!

This is the coolest family photo I have ever seen!! Your CA trip photos are definitely one of a kind. I can expect more good ones! #4762358Lisa J. Boulden September 07, 2007
Thanks, Alex! I always appreciate your kind support. This is one of very few vacation shots in which I am actually in! And to have found a way to get all of us in the shot was a real PLUS. I came upon the idea when taking shots of my son at the beach when I noticed my reflection in his glasses...then I called my husband and daughter to join in the reflection.Stefania Barbier September 08, 2007
