Family Portraits at the Beach

Catching up on blogging photo sessions…. this was my first beach session for 2011 and despite it being March…. it was cold!  However, this family didn’t let a little thing like chilly weather stop them; we just squished them in together (for warmth) and kept shooting!

Actually, despite most people thinking bright sunny days are the ideal beach session weather, the opposite is actually true: I prefer overcast days. We have better even lighting, and no squinting.  The beach is open to us to go where we please on cloudy days.

This, however, was not your average overcast day: sunset came an hour early due to heavy cloud cover. In addition, it started pouring rain about 30 minutes after we packed up and headed to the cars.

And yet… does it matter? They had a great photo session at the beach, and these images are going up on their walls to showcase all the fun they had that evening….

Spring School Portraits

Another successful set of picture days has passed, and we had a ton of fun!

As usual, there were several poses for the parents to choose from and the school’s kindergarten class was also photographed in their caps and gowns.

Here’s a few favorites….
