This family session in Perdido Key was a challenge because it started off very windy and it was very bright. Strong winds can cause major problems with subjects that have long hair. There is nothing that can ruin an otherwise great photo than having wild looking beach hair. It also seems counter to think a bright day is bad on the beach but it introduces another problem. The beach acts like a reflector and that sun just reflects back into eyes so you get a squinty look. It's great if you are Clint Eastwood but not if you want to have a fun look.
Fortunately, there were areas on the beach that was shaded and blocked from the wind. At the start of the session I had my subjects in the shade and used my studio lights to even out the look of the bright beach in the background. The shade also produces nice even light for natural light photography.
As the sun started to set, the shadow on the beach got larger and the wind died down so we moved on towards the water and got some great candid shots. The kids even did an impromptu race on the beach!
This session was a family present to their mom so I made sure the grandmother was the center of any group shots. She started the family so I wanted to give her a position of respect. You an tell from the pictures she is much loved and respected by her family.
