I am a fan of the beach in every season and in all weather conditions (minus hurricanes, ha). This cloudy beach day turned out to be just perfect for this family session. The sky acted as this huge lightbox casting such gorgeous light onto this sweet family. But just the perfect amount of sunlight peeked it's head out several times. SWOON!

Isn't it amazing how different the beach can be everytime you go? I have been to this part of Tybee Island many times, but I have never seen it covered with straw like it was on this day. I considered moving to another part of the beach because of it, but i'm so glad I didn't, I love the way it looks! Sometimes in photography you take risks, and this risk paid off!

Photographing friends of mine is always a treat. I feel like i'm kinda cheating as a photographer because I know their personalities a bit and can then use it to my advantage! haha! That is why when you book a session with me I send you a lengthy questionnaire. It is so necessary for your photographer to get to know you before a session and to be able to know how to best interact with you and bring out your unique personalities! I love watching timid/shy kids loosen up during a session, and let their little lights shine! These kids however, are not shy. They were so much fun to run around with and get all sandy with. Speaking of sandy, make sure to scroll to the bottom to see a classic kid vs parent moment.
