I do have a soft spot for redheads, but really, isn’t this little girl beautiful? I think she should be modeling for Ralph Lauren!

The “W” family scheduled their family beach portrait session during a recent vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Vacations are wonderful things- no work schedules to get in the way of what you really want to do, and time to relax and enjoy being together as a family. What better time for a family portrait session! To schedule your own family portrait session, call Monica @ 954-632-9598.

Many of my clients come into their ordering appointment planning on choosing one family pose for their wall portrait. Very often, though, there is more than one pose that they like and want to have. The solution? Order one or two large wall portraits, and then add on a couple of collages!

That’s what a recent client did when she was presented with these beautiful family pictures.

**Collages may be ordered in various sizes, from 11×14 and up, and in many different configurations. The two below are both 10×20′s.

Want a Free Family Photo Shoot at the Beach?

I am searching for a family who would be willing to model a certain look for me at the beach. If you are familiar with my work, you know that I photograph many families at the beach. 95% of these families choose to wear white and denim or white and khaki for their family portraits. Here are a couple of examples-

As great as the white/denim and white/khaki looks, I would like to help my clients expand their ideas about what looks good for a family portrait at the beach. This next family was thinking a little more outside the box, and came up with a yellow color palette-

And finally, my most original client so far- who would have thought “blues and browns” for a beach portrait? (Well actually it was my idea, and she went with it

And then I came across this stock photo on a travel site-

Don’t you just love the way the colors of their shirts stand out against the soft-hued background? After seeing that picture, I thought, “Wow, I need to help my clients see beyond the White and Denim look.”

Love Is In the Air

Although we have had some colder temperatures in South Florida in the last couple of weeks, the beach is still my favorite location for a portrait session. The images here were taken on Boxing Day (that’s December 26th . Gotta love temperatures in the 60′s when the rest of the country is experiencing blizzards! This was not an engagement session, and the couple are not newly-weds. We decided to call the session a “Celebration of Love.” I like that.
