There’s plenty of amazing things to do indoors and off the beach right around the corner from us. We can’t wait to see what fun you come up with!

The holidays are fast approaching and that usually means updating your family pictures, especially if you have little ones. While most people go for a holiday theme, why not try something different if your family is taking a beach vacation over the holidays? Beach portraits have a inherently classy feel, but yet casual and fun filled. There’s no fuss of having the right outfit or perfect poses. Windswept strands of hair, sun-kissed noses and some casual clothing is all you need to create a stellar family portrait you will always remember. Take a read through some of these tips and pointers to make your next vacation into a memory that will last forever.

1. Schedule your session roughly 2 hours before sunset. The lighting doesn’t get much better.

2. Dress well but causal, Your kids will be more comfortable and a lot easier to work with. A simple pair of blue jeans and a plain white top look fabulous on the beach.

3. If you have small children be sure to introduce them to your photographer before just jumping into a session. It doesn’t take a lot of time for most children to warm up, so planning that extra few minutes into your schedule could be a lifesaver.

4. Add a few props to really make your Holiday shots pop. Something as simple as a string of lights or a favorite ornament can really add to the feel of a holiday portrait on the beach.

Enjoy your Holidays and as always, Share your fun on our Social Media.
