We absolutely love photographing family sessions on the breathtaking beaches of Southwest Florida.  Whether it be for those vacationing here for a few days or for those who call Florida home, capturing portraits for those who share our love of the sunshine state is always such a joy!  When Helen reached out to book a session last fall, we couldn’t wait to connect on Naples Beach!  She and her husband recently moved to the area, and we were so excited to document this stage of life for them as they celebrate their youngest daughter turning one.

We met on a gorgeous warm evening, and Helen’s adorable little girls were all-smiles from the very start.  Everyone looked amazing in their coordinated outfits, and their color scheme paired perfectly with the backdrops of the setting.  We began the session with a few photos of their youngest in her birthday hat and with her special stuffed bunny.  These girls are the sweetest sisters ever, and both did a phenomenal job for portraits!  Their precious little smiles and sweet giggles were so much fun to capture, and it was a complete joy to document their relationship!

After finishing up among the streets, we headed to the shoreline where we began beside the Pier.  There is something truly magical about the ocean when you are two-and-a-half and one-year old.  The girls were enthralled by the waves, loved splashing through the water, and had the best expressions as their parents snuggled them on the beach.  We finished out the evening as the sun set over the horizon and could not have had a more incredible time with this beautiful family!  We are so excited for them to continue watching their girls grow, and hope that these images are a beautiful reminder of this short-but-sweet season of life!
