Hollywood Beach….A Lifestyle Session

Let’s talk about wardrobe and family photography sessions on the beach.   I 100% encourage clients to NOT wear all white on the beach.  Especially all white and matching!  I do this for a number of reasons, although the #1 most important reason is……IT’S BORING.  I tell potential clients, “If you wouldn’t dress that way to go out to dinner, then please don’t dress that way for your family portraits.”  It is my goal as a photographer not to just capture your family, but to capture true and genuine experiences, interactions, and emotions.   To document the true essence of who your family is at that exact moment of time.  In 20 years when you are looking back through your Session Album, I want you to remember how much fun you had that day…together.  A Lifestyle Session on the beach, with me, is just that; a fun afternoon at the beach with the people you love most.   You won’t have those memories if you’re all wearing matching outfits, standing stiffly as a group in front of the ocean saying, “Cheese.”

This is truly photography for the modern family.
