Beach Season is HERE!It's that time of year again, maybe it's because the weather in Charleston is currently over 70 degrees, or maybe it's just that I'm anxious to get back out there, but I have already starting booking beach sessions for summer 2019! Currently, Memorial Day and 4th of July are already gone and May and June are slowing filling in. It's shocking really, last year I felt like I got so many bookings just a few weeks to a month ahead and this year is the first time I've had bookings MONTHS in advanced. I am SO excited to see what this summer will bring. Hopefully it doesn't bring storm after storm after storm like years prior. We'll keep our fingers crossed. When do you book? What do you recommend for children? Why only Sunrise and Sunset, and why only Monday through Thursday? Here are some examples of Sunrises, notice the sky sometimes more pastel, lots of pink, yellow and light blue hues. And below here, some examples of sunset. In some cases like Kiawah's Beachwalker Park (top image) since it closes AT sunset it's not possible to capture the colors of the sky and instead the images can be a little more hot/high key and blown out. They still maintain a dreamy feel, but just a little harder to capture. Below that are two images from the same session at sunset. The sky turning and once the sun is down. Silhouettes are easier to capture at sunset but are also possible at sunrise prior to the sun coming up. Sunsets tend to be a blue more "cool" in tones with darker yellows and blues.
What do we wear? I also have a couple of dresses in my client closet that are perfect for mom and the beach if you're stumped on finding anything else. Just ask! Here is a great Pinterest resource for coordinating outfits: https://pin.it/gqldzjy6fxxlnh All in all, throughout the session I focus on capturing a family's posed and candid moments, we start along the water line, walking, looking for dolphins and snuggling up with mom and dad. Towards the end of the session I encourage kids to play and splash. It is definitely recommended to bring a towel and sometimes a change of clothes since the littles sommmmetimes get a little out of hand towards the end. But who can really blame them? It's the beach and the water is SO WARM!
Hope to see you this summer!
