Life's a Beach!

We’ve been living on the beach now for almost three weeks!  It’s been a transition, for me more than anyone else.  There are lots of little things that you don’t think about when you’re just visiting for the day as compared to when you actually call Hollywood Beach home.  My favorite time of the day is early evening.  Once Lenny gets home from work, after we eat dinner, we’ll walk down to the sand to play and people watch.  The sun is setting behind us and there’s a great breeze coming off the ocean.  I never bring towels with us and the kids always end up in the ocean.  But when you live a block off the sand, it doesn’t end up  being much of a problem.

If you’ve never been to Hollywood Beach, you’re really missing out on a unique, one of a kind beach experience.  In fact, I challenge any other coastal city in Florida to live up to what all the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk has to offer.  It’s two miles of quaint and kitschy hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts, mixed with restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops.   The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is always teeming with people who are relaxing, out with family, exercising, or just enjoying all that there is to offer.

After two and a half weeks, I finally brought out my camera to one of our evening beach jaunts.  I’m already planning on which images I want to enlarge to hang in our new home.

I’m offering mini sessions on Hollywood Beach all through the summer.  Come and hang out with me one evening and receive family images to last a lifetime.  Email courtney@courtneyortiz.com for more info.
