Beach Boys: the "A" family | Kim Lind family photographer on location in Capitola, CA

It was another amazing day at one of my very favorite beaches last Sunday.  We started out with a little fog and then it burned off at lightening speed.  I LOVE shooting families at the beach, what a great way to start a Sunday morning!  This first one is one of my favorites - a natural family portrait.

3 years old with a great big smile...

See, beach sessions are fun!

This was his first time at the beach!  8 months old, looking pretty dapper in his tie...

These next two have a little bit of post-production effects going on.  I usually take one or two photos from every session to play around with.  I love the original versions of these - the blue sky is amazing in the first one.  But I'm really liking this pastel effect too!

This one I call my "vivid" effect.  The ocean is just a little bit more turquoise, the shadows just a little darker.  A more dramatic scene than the original.  

Thanks, "A" family for a great morning at the beach!  If you are interested in a beach session, September and October are PERFECT months for them!  Contact me for availability.
