Beach sessions... oh, how I love them for so many reasons!
They're so fun. They're so full of nature. They're such a change of scene from what I was used to working with before the move to Florida.
I love how the ocean creates such a wide open backdrop and there are minimal distractions from trees and foliage. And the sky... OH, THE SKY! It always paints the most beautiful picture. Colors and texture everywhere.
When families wear bold colors it adds such a pop of interest. The blues from this session were fun to work with. I work a lot with oranges and reds or darker blues. I don't usually get lighter blues like this, and, at first, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. But after I started editing, I love how mama's dress popped against the boys' more muted blue tones.
Wind is always a factor at beach sessions. You just have to roll with it. Let your hair blow freely! It creates movement and emotion. The wind is also so fun when mom wears a long, flowing dress. The way it blows is seriously magical! On the contrary, beware of short dresses at beach sessions. They also blow. But, being shorter, they sometimes become a bit too revealing.
Let the kids have fun! Beaches are magical. Some kids have never seen a beach or ocean before. This was the case with this session. This little guy was having so much fun finding seashells and letting the waves come in and splash against his feet. Letting the kids have fun can also get those beautiful candid shots of your family just being you.
