obx vacation video


When I uploaded all our vacation pictures and videos, I saw that we had around 50 minutes of footage that needed to be cut down to fit a 3 minute song. Talk about overwhelming. 
I will say, this is not one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made. I realized how difficult it is to take videos and pictures, take care of 4 young children, and have a relaxing, enjoyable vacation–simultaneously. So I feel like the video footage got the short straw. 
But as I always try to remember, all my videos are great memories to me and my family. And it’s been a super fun hobby! Photography may be the only hobby I have had for many, many years…if you don’t count thrifting. 

So here it is…our Outer Banks vacation, crammed into a 3 minute video.

our vacation (in iphone pictures)


We arrived home late last night from our Outer Banks vacation. I feel like a zombie today but if I don’t get started on these blog posts, I will never get them done. Instead of sifting through our (approximately) 28gb of pictures/videos, I’m going through my nearly 500 iphone pictures first. Let’s just say that I am enjoying photography. 

I’ll be breaking up our trip into a few other posts, but for now–here’s our vacation, in iphone pictures…
***I am giving you fair warning that this post is loaded with pictures!

I didn’t think it was possible to actually relax on the beach with 4 young children. It’s so possible when they all love it.

If you made it this far, congratulations! That was probably far too many pictures for one post. We had an amazing trip–but it’s so good to be home.
 
More posts to come over the next week!
