It is now officially the Fall and the weather has cooled off significantly. I had my first pumpkin spice coffee of the season, decorated my home for Halloween and have begun shooting my holiday mini sessions. Even though Fall seems to be in full swing, I still had time for one last beach sunset session this month on a warm and mild September night.

This client had her third baby six months ago and was not able to have a newborn session due to the COVID closures. She decided that she wanted to get some updated family photos and wanted her son to finally have his photographic debut, so she scheduled a family session with me in late September.

Our original date for the session was a very cold and windy day, so we opted to use the rain date and reschedule a few days later when it was at least 12 degrees warmer. The skies were cloudy during the early part of the session, but the sun fought hard to shine through and finally made its appearance at the end of the session. The soft light is just gorgeous against the pale pastels mom selected for her family’s wardrobe.

Because she was unable to do newborn photos, mom wanted to include the gorgeous Mini-La-Mode smocked dresses she initially purchased for her daughters to wear during their brother’s newborn session. We started the session in some formal attire that also included baby’s christening outfit and then switched to more causal attire for the reminder of the session. I just love the white dresses the girls wore for the second half of the session.

Big sisters were fun, friendly, and super cooperative. It is clear how close their bond with one another is and how much they love their baby brother. After we got the formal portraits done, I was able to move on to some fun and interactive captures that include the pretty soft sun in the background.

The family was so fun to work with and I just love their gallery of images. Here are a few of my favorite images from this beautiful family’s session.

If you are interested in a session, contact me. I open booking for beach sessions in February and they are scheduled June to September.
