By the beach | Jacksonville family photographer

I’ve photographed these clients a couple times before, and it was a pleasure to meet with them again at their home just a couple blocks from the beach. We snagged a few portraits in their yard, and then walked the pleasant stretch to the ocean. These boys are so full of zest for life, and their personalities really came through. We also enjoyed such a pretty sunset that evening: a lovely backdrop for this fun family.

One option I offer my clients is to go to your home for portraits. We went to a park for this client’s first session, but for this latest one, they decided a home session would be just what they needed during the busy holiday season. Little ones sometimes squirm away from a parent’s camera, somehow evading eye contact–a highly sophisticated and common skill among the under four set–and so it was no surprise to me when the mother told me one of her main goals was to get her youngest one looking into the lens. And we certainly did. He and his older brother are such cuties, brimming with warmth and adventure.

Parents and children often have the same smile…

It only takes that right second to catch that grin before the little ones are up and running again. I love the adorable, mischievous smile of the youngest brother, and the relaxed, charming smile of the older brother.

Window light always make for a classic and dramatic portrait.

The session took place at the client’s home, but because they live so close to the beach, we walked over to the shore for the last few minutes of their session and grabbed some quick pictures. The boys were thrilled to run off some steam!
