When Lisa told me that she just booked a multiple family portrait session on Panama City Beach, Florida, I said, "Are you serious? Let's go!" It doesn't take much to get me on the shore. Growing up in the Carolinas, we could always count on Dad taking us to Myrtle Beach for a week every year.
While we are in the midst of wedding season, Lisa found a few days in our schedule that allowed us to head south. Something felt really good about this trip and even though it was the July 4th weekend, the traffic was a breeze. It seemed like everyone was going the opposite way.
After checking into the hotel and grabbing some pizza, we met our clients on the sand dunes. The evening sun filtered through the clouds to grant us some wonderful light. We photographed six families in total, in big groups, small groups, and individual portraits. All were nicely dressed and color coordinated as Lisa worked her magic arranging the groupings. With the sounds of the waves crashing ashore along with the shore birds calling it was hard to call this work!
Riley kept herself busy playing sandcrab around my feet as Lisa and I worked. She's not yet ready for the ocean, but she loves the sandy beach!
Lisa's plans gave us three nights to ourselves to relax on the beach. Good seafood, swimming in the pool, playing in the sand, and taking Riley on her first amusement train ride, what a great vacation we enjoyed! Next year perhaps we can advertise our beach photo visit to Panama City Beach. Do you need a family portrait on the beach?
