Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer {Smith Family | Sunrise at the Beach}

When this momma contacted me to book her session, she said the words sunrise and I immediately was like “ummm” because if you know me, you know that mornings are not my thing. I much prefer to sleep the day away and stay up all night. However, once we talked and she explained that her sweet little twins preferred the mornings and she really wanted to get some great canvas images, I understood and happily scheduled her session.
The day dawned, well, not really yet, and I headed to the beach. Y’all, it was still pitch black out. I had a minor panic attack moment that maybe the sun wouldn’t come up and we’d be taking photos in the dark, but then calmed as I pulled up to the beach and saw the very first rays peeking over the horizon.

And y’all, this session is now one of my all time favorites. We got SO much variety. We got the very earliest of light all the way to full sunlight. We went from sweet soft pastels, to bright vivid colors, and I am just in love with this gallery. We spent the morning laughing and playing (and maybe a little yawning on my part.) Since we weren’t on a deadline with the sun going down we even got to take a good break so the twins could warm up and relax a bit more.

I hope you enjoy looking at their gallery as much as I did shooting it. If you would like to book a session with a Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer I hope you keep me in mind! Amanda.dennette@gmail.com

Enjoy!
