Sand is the New Snow | Siesta Key Beach Portraits

The sweet D family arrived in Sarasota in August to start a new adventure. When Kristin contacted me for her family portraits, she knew that the beach was a must for their session.
After all, what says Christmas more than Siesta Key beach portraits on your holiday card?

“My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Parents of seniors tell me the same thing after graduation: "I wish I`d taken more photos."

    Not just the big events, the everyday moments too. The messy bedroom. Late-night homework. Running out the door to practice.

    Those are the ones you`ll miss the most, and they`re yours to catch, not mine.

    I made a free list of the 27 photo moments worth capturing before graduation. Comment SENIOR and I`ll send it straight to your DMs.
