Shirley was not stretching it when she said her 4 grandchildren were close, sweet, loving... and incredibly well behaved! All of that family love and connection came through in the images of their family on 30a. Especially their images of mom and dad playing in the sand with the sea shells. I love when families, both 30A locals and those visiting Blue Mountain Beach, decide to invest in gorgeous beach pictures of their family. While sunset portrait sessions are most popular, I will admit that sunrise beach pictures are my favorite! I never thought I would say that because I am a night owl but seeing Gulf Place with it's beautiful palm tree in the mornings is just gorgeous and calming. There are many factors to consider when thinking about a sunrise photo session, and one of the major advantages is that there will be less people on the beach at sunrise as opposed to sunset beach pictures.

Add another cherished family memory and add the grandparents for an extended family photo. Pictures with grandma at the beach will be something these kiddos will talk about well into adulthood. Many families we photography on the beach will talk about memories of doing the same thing when they were little and now they are carrying on the tradition and have family portraits on the beach with their own little ones.
There is an endearing tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart.
Why visit Blue Mountain Beach?
Named after the signature brilliant blue lupine flowers that grow in the sand dunes., Blue Mountain Beach is truly a special place to have your family portrait session. You will find some of the most spectacular views of the Emerald Coast in Blue Mountain Beach. I must admit, my favorite thing to do after a session here is to stop at the infamous Blue Mountain Beach Creamery ice cream shop for a delicious treat.
Blue Mountain beach is the perfect place to visit for your family vacation. Add some adventure to your trip with a fun family portrait session and be sure to bring the grandparents along so you and your spouse can have a date night. And Grandmas also make the perfect "extra set of hands" we need for a family session. They can entertain the kids on the beach while I capture some special moments of you and your spouse.
