This year's holiday mini session event took me back to one of my favorite little beaches in South Florida - Hollywood's North Beach Park. I met lots of new great families & got to see some families again that have joined my mini sessions before. Because I get a lot of repeat clients, I try to switch up the location of my events each year to provide some variety & I think the beach location worked out perfectly this year for those who joined my park event last year. We had beautiful weather on this Saturday in mid-November... the kind of barefoot beach weather that makes a perfect holiday card to send to friends & family up north who are snowed-in & freezing (maybe a little cruel but it never stops being fun). Thanks to everyone who joined me this year! [tg_masonry_gallery gallery_id="9183" layout="wide" columns="4"]
North Beach Park Holly...
one hour with father & one year old son | hollywood beach photographer
Back in June, Rob's sister reached out to me from North Florida to purchase a gift card for her single-dad brother for Father's Day. Instead of trying to beat the crazy South Florida heat in the summer to plan an outdoor session then, we waited until a little closer to the holidays & had an awesome morning beach session in Hollywood. Sometimes my clients wake up & see clouds and maybe a small threat of rain & think it won't be a good day for photos... when in fact that makes for perfect session-weather! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect beach morning to take some photos. Max had just celebrated his 1 year birthday & was all smiles for his time in the spotlight with dad. It was great to see the bond between these two & capture some of that love into photos him & his family can cherish. It was great to meet you both!

Family of 4 Holiday Photos | North Beach Park Hollywood
I love my annual check in with this family... And considering Jordan (who is now 5) has been taking part in these photo sessions since he was just 13 months old, he definitely knows the drill (he even directed the 2nd photo in this gallery - wanting to pose in the background of his sister). We met at North Beach Park in Hollywood this year, which gave us great places to "explore" (& play find-the-grills) before ending up on the beach. There was no doubt Jordan was going to be first in the water - It gave our family photo session a trash-the-dress-esque edge. Ha. Had a great time as always - love watching these two grow up!
Family Mini-Sessions, North Beach Park | Hollywood Mini-Session Photographer
After doing a multi-generation family session at this same location just 2 weeks ago, I returned to hang out with 3 different families for my second round of mini-sessions this season. Without too many available days for sessions between now and Christmas (I know, I know, it scares me too), I'll be spending the rest of my year focusing on full photo sessions. It was great to have one last back-to-back-session day of the year - never a dull moment! I met so many great faces!
Family Group Portraits | Hollywood Beach Family Photographer
Saturday at a quiet North Beach Park in Hollywood, I hung out with this great three-generation family of twelve... and shot HUNDREDS of photos! It was just 9 months ago that I photographed 15-day-old Jackson - the newest addition to the family, so it was great to see how him and big sister Avery have grown. Not to mention, the rest of the family, most of whom I had first met at Avery's first birthday party. I definitely owe this session to Jess for being the best subject and assistant at the same time, making sure all groups were covered and everyone knew exactly where they were supposed to be. It made MY afternoon super relaxed - hope we got it all covered! I had a blast with all of you... it was so difficult to narrow down my favorite photos. The entire gallery is coming soon!
