Family portraits at the beach are so much fun. Imagine the sand in your toes, a sea breeze, the sound of the ocean. I think they are more fun than any other type of portrait. I don't think you can do formal on the beach or running along the water's [...]
Brand Photography - something different in lockdown. Like thousands of other photographers, I haven't been able to photograph family portraits, weddings or family events during the lockdowns over the last year.
