Sunrise Family Beach Photos in St. Augustine

Sep 25, 2023 | By: Rya Duncklee

This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family! I'm so honored, and humbled, that they travel so far (at SUNRISE nonetheless) to work with me. This beautiful, colorful morning they traveled all the way from Mount Dora to come to St. Augustine Beach at sunrise and have their family portrait session. I am SO grateful to have wonderful clients like this, and find it a testament to my client experience that people will travel to work with me! It's such an honor.

The sunrise on this late summer morning was special in that we had clouds for longer than usual, so we were able to sneak in a surfboard shot, pictured below, before we got into the family group photos. The beach is the perfect place for some minimal props like a simple white surfboard, and I loved Mom's request for it this time around because she wanted to recreate the same shot we did awhile back! Check out their first family beach photo session here. What a cool way to document your children growing. You can really see what a difference a year makes!

Another favorite of this session was Mom's dress from Free People. Free People is the perfect clothing to wear for a family beach photo session. Barefeet and minimal, neutral colors will lend to a timeless look you can keep on your walls year round.

A few of my favorites from this family sunrise beach session. Fall is officially here and I cannot wait to see what the season brings!

On her questionnaire, Mom wrote that if we got ONE image of all of us together she would consider the rest of their photo session a bonus. As a Mama myself, I totally get that! When I'm culling a family portrait session and I see that we got "the one", I literally will cheer aloud! It truly makes me so happy to deliver what you ask for.

Megan - These are stunning, as always, but that last one of the kids playing needs to go on their walls asap!
