From the moment I met this family, I could tell we were going to get along perfectly. They were the kind of family that just understood my relaxed, “lets have some fun” vibe without much instruction… the kind of family who I delivered “outtakes” to within their gallery (and here!), because I knew they’d appreciate the laughs. They had all traveled from different parts of the country to vacation in South Florida for the holidays, so an extended family photo session on our beautiful beaches (this one is right near Pompano Beach Pier, just North of Fort Lauderdale) made perfect sense. I can’t think of a better souvenir to take home - especially when home is at least 30 degrees colder.

Here’s a photography tip specific to South Florida… don’t try to schedule a fully-outdoor photo session in the middle of summer if you are not prepared to be flexible. After being forced to reschedule this session not once… or twice… but three times… we STILL had to sit in the car when we arrived to Orchid Park in Coral Springs to wait out rain. And not just any rain - like typical Florida-summer downpour. Luckily we finally got a dry break before the sun went down (& luckily these families are all local and completely understand).
