South Florida is the perfect place to capture a lifestyle maternity session at the beach in the Fall. The weather is still warm but not as humid as in the summer.

This particular beach is one of my favorite spots to photograph families! It’s an extremely popular location and I almost always see other photographers there. I love that it has many different spots to photograph around the entire area. There’s a sea grape tunnel, a lifeguard station next to a cement walkway, a wooden walkway and staircase and the actual beach is stunning with its turquoise ocean water, rock formations that the kids love to climb, tall sea grass and palm trees. It’s a very beautiful and tropical location for my style of photography.

I have been photographing this darling family for years so I was excited to receive the news that they were expecting and looking to schedule a maternity and newborn session. I first photographed them when little Shawn was an adorable three-month-old baby boy and now he’s a super tall six-year-old. It’s been great getting to see and photograph them each year for their annual family photo sessions since he was a baby. The Mama decided on this beach location for her maternity session and we had a fun time exploring the area and little Shawn was all about the adventure. He was smiley & affectionate with his Mama but loved exploring and playing in the water too.
