Seven islands later and many shades darker, I’m back home from a blissful vacation with my family through the Caribbean Isles. Between Tommy and I snapping away at all our adventures, including two rainforest hikes — one of which made me feel like I was gonna pass out … because I’m so outta shape <blah> — and a myriad of heavenly beaches donning the most crystal blue waters you’ve ever seen, we’ve got a jackpot of photos to share!!! The time away was really good for me and I feel totally refreshed and ready to bring my photography and passion as a storyteller to a whole new level 😉

And while I’d LOVE to share a slew of photographs from all our amazing adventures, for now, I’ll leave you with just three moments I captured during our days in San Juan, Puerto Rico. There will be much more to come after we’re done playing catch up on past shoots because clients come first. Always!!!

Oh and in honor of the joys of family time, I am currently offering $40 off on all family sessions booked before the end of September ~ so if you’re interested, shoot me an email at mariesam.sanchez@gmail.com 🙂

My cousin OJ contemplating the meaning of life along the shores of San Juan ...

As an accordion player in my younger days, you know this one had a special place in my heart!

Caught this kitty just as it looked up at the car's headlights ~ pretty awesome!
