Family Beach Session {brevard County Photographer}

I have a confession....I have a love hate relationship with beach sessions. Living right here on the space coast I feel that we are expected to love the beach and it is a popular place to have photos, but let's face it...there's sand. UGH. In fact I took my 16month old son to the beach for the first time ever and I can not believe the amount of sand that came home with him. It was everywhere. So imagine sand and expensive cameras...not good. Not to mention you can never predict how windy it will be. Not all beaches are create equal either. Some have nice sand, others have ugly sand. Then there are some with sand dunes and some with none. Boardwalks, piers, rocks etc all make each beach different giving you different options when having a session at the beach. Because let's be real, just the water as a background gets boring right?

Well fortunately, I know a few really nice beaches in the area that offer lots of options and great views. Take in point this recent session. This was done at Paradise Beach and I stumbled across this beaten path that was a dream. I have shot here before but never at this entrance. I usually go to the right but this time went to the left. ;) Guess things on the left aren't so bad. (that's as political as I will get)

So Andrea's dad wanted nice pictures of him and his daughters and tasked Andrea with getting a photographer on the week she was off before her sister started school. No pressure right? Well she happened to work for Suntrust, my former branch, and followed my facebook page. We had exchanged a few correspondences and then I visited the branch to make a deposit. Having no clue she worked there, she mentioned needing a photographer, then we realized we had already been talking. So we set the date and picked out the location and we were good to go.

This is such a classic shoot. I love that they choose soft colors to wear. It goes with the location. That is huge when decided what to wear. The beaten path was a perfect backdrop for the perfect beach session. Just enough sand, water and dunes for the perfect images. Guess this one goes down as a love beach day. :)

Family Beach Session {brevard county photographer}

There are good things and bad things when it comes to social media or anything for that matter. The good thing with social media is it allows you to connect with some people you may have never even had the chance to. Case in point...Lauren and her family. Lauren used to live here but her military husband means she must go where he is stationed. She was back in town for some family things and needed a family shoot. Her dad wanted to update the pictures of his daughters since it had been quite awhile. So Lauren reached out to the photographer group in this area and we did a trade session. She took head shots for me. You can see them here. In exchange I took family shots for her.

It is nice working with other photographers because it creates a sense of community which is not always the case in this field. We choose a secluded beach in Satellite beach that has some amazing rocks on the shore. This helps give the beach more options in my opinion. It was a fun session capturing her family and her adorable little girl!
