Why should you consider sunrise beach photos?

We recently spent the weekend with some of our favorite people, so what better time to feature their beach photo session!! Anytime we visit the beach, I love to turn it into an opportunity to serve as a 30A family photographer! (Let’s be honest, a beach photographer for Destin, Gulf Shores, Santa Rosa Beach, or wherever vacation takes us!!)

We woke up early for this gorgeous session, and arrived on the empty beach just before sunrise. I love it anytime families trust me when I ask them to get up early for gorgeous light and an empty beach!! This morning session certainly did not disappoint.

We took these beach photos near the Navarre Beach fishing pier, and it turned out perfectly!! These photos show how you can get get gorgeous family photos with your teenagers, because so often moms worry about getting their (older) kids to smile or be excited. The Kings were such good sports, despite the early morning wake-up call!!

Arthur (their beloved pup) wasn’t allowed on the beach. We still managed to sneak him into a few photos on the boardwalk at the end of our session. We got the dog in the photos without breaking the rules. Can you tell I’m a rule follower? 🙂
