Mark and Dawn and their kids (Chase, Chadwyck, Morgan, Skylar, Bristol and Jett) love the beach. They have wanted to do a photo shoot there for years, and this year, we made it happen!
First we shot in the campground they always stay at, starting at a place they often go for ice cream…
Okay, I am going to keep it real here… as we moved towards the beach, I kept watching the sun. And as the sun sank further down in the sky, I got a sinking feeling myself. I do not often get to shoot at the beach, and I feel like the light is so different there. As the sun set I realized that I had misjudged how much light we had left… and boy, was I scrambling! I tried not to let panic set in, but herding 8 people around trying to get what I wanted – with the light I wanted – was making me crazy!
Mark, Dawn and all the kids were awesome (thanks guys!) but it was a lesson learned for me. I’ll be thinking of this next time I shoot at the beach for sure!
Dawn warned me that she does not always love how she looks in pictures (typical for a lot of people) but can I just say… Dawn, you look gorgeous!
Thank you all for asking me to capture you at your ’2nd home’ and for being awesome while we did it
