A beach family photoshoot is one that never goes out of style. Many clients, love the beach so much that year after year they choose that as their location for a family photoshoot. Many of my clients are traveling from out of town and dream of a beach family photos. But, in case you're on the fence and wondering "why do beach family photos", let me help you out.
First, there's the setting. All of the beaches in the Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida area naturally offer a stunning backdrop with their golden sands, gentle waves, and vibrant skies. The beauty of the ocean and the warm, natural light make everything look magical. The best part? You don’t need to stress about finding the perfect spot—nature’s already done the hard work!
Then, think about the memories. A beach photoshoot isn’t just about the final pictures; it’s about the experience itself. Imagine your kids running barefoot in the sand, laughing as they splash in the water, and everyone just feeling relaxed and happy. These candid moments are what make the best photos, and they’re the ones you’ll treasure forever. With every session I do, the candid photos end up being my favorite and bringing a towel or change of clothes is 100% worth the images captured.
Also, the variety! Beaches offer so much diversity in one location. You can have those classic shots by the water, playful ones with everyone splashing around, or even cozy moments wrapped up in a blanket as the sun sets. The versatility of a beach allows for a wide range of photos, so you get a beautiful mix of fun, spontaneous shots and more composed family portraits.
Plus, let’s not forget about the outfits. Beachwear is easygoing and casual—think sundresses, shorts, and bare feet. There’s no need for fancy clothes or complicated coordination. Everyone can just be themselves, which leads to more authentic and relaxed photos.
Lastly, these photos are timeless. Whether it’s the joy on your toddler’s face as they feel the sand for the first time or the tender moments between family members, these images capture the essence of your family at this stage in your lives. And years down the road, you’ll have these beautiful reminders of the love and connection you all share, which will always make whatever location you choose perfect.
