Sanibel Island’s Lighthouse Beach has been one of our favorite places to photograph family portrait sessions.  Not only do we love its quiet waters and variety in backdrops, because the beach wraps all the way around the island’s tip, it allows us the flexibility of choosing the ideal side of the island depending on the weather, the direction of the wind, and the time of day! We couldn’t wait to connect with Laura’s family on yet another perfectly sunny evening in the sunshine state! She and her beautiful family had booked a portrait session as a birthday gift, and had travelled down from Michigan to vacation together in Southwest Florida.

We had a wonderful time exploring Lighthouse Beach Park together!  The kids did a fantastic job, and had so much fun as they discovered sea shells in the sand!  We walked along the water’s edge capturing different combinations of people, and were again reminded of why we love what we do!  Documenting time spent with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and siblings is always such a joy; and we know how special these times spent making memories together are!

We absolutely love serving families from all over the states as they spend time in Southwest Florida, and it is truly such an honor to hear what they share with others after their session!  Laura wrote the following about her experience, and we could not be more grateful for her kind words: “We chose to have a family session to gift for a birthday during our vacation. Such a pleasant easy going experience working with Shane. Super efficient, thorough, and easy going to work with. The whole family is super excited to see the amazing work and all of our special moments captured. All 12 of us would highly recommend Shane!”
