Coastal Family Portraits in St. Augustine, Florida

Jun 26, 2023 | By: Rya Duncklee

This is the second time I've documented this beautiful family's portraits at sunrise on the beach! The first time we did their family beach session they only had big brother, so it was really cool to see it all come full circle with baby sis' now in the family!

We chose the same location on St. Augustine Beach. It's my favorite spot to do family photos because it's so private, especially at sunrise when the sky is a beautiful pastel-hue.

Mom's dress was the perfect thing to wear for her sunrise portrait session - flowy yet not too much. I tend to stray away from florals on the coast, I feel like they remind me spring in the gardens or something, but the soft blue flowers on this dress really worked well with the rest of her family's outfits. Typically, if you can nail Mom's dress the rest is easy to put together for the family!

I loved the two little baby teeth coming in on little sis', and I loved how smiley and happy she was. I'm glad we were able to capture that for Mom and Dad.

A few of my favorites from this classic coastal family beach session. Thanks for reading!

I loved these two images the most in the set. The soft light at sunrise, and the color of the water here in St. Augustine that morning on the beach, gave these images an ethereal feel to them. The softness of Mom's dress helped add to these sweet moments we captured.

This sweet moment between father and daughter melted my heart! I love her chubby little hands holding Daddy's face. Those genuine, in-between moments are the absolute best!

Those two little teeth! Such a sweet signifier of that fleeting baby stage.

Big brother's smile was so adorable too! These kiddos are the best. So grateful to be able to continue to document their milestones.
