When Lisa asked me to take her family photographs for Mother's day, I got so excited! We started to plan the session right away: she told me they wanted an outdoor session, so after playing with different ideas, she decided it will be on the beach! I was simply ecstatic at this point, my favorite outdoor place for family pictures is the BEACH! We also planned their outfits so they coordinate, not only with each other, but with the color scheme with their home too. She already knew she wanted a big wall art for her living room and maybe other pieces for her master bedroom too. Her daughter LOVES mermaids, so we planned a little extra just for her: a mermaid themed composite photo for her room.
The session took place in the Sarasota area, not too far from the Tampa Bay area on a dreamy little secret location with lots of driftwood! This is the most unique beach in Central Florida and well worth the drive. Usually we get to see some dolphins too, but on this occasion we were in for a real treat and we get to see a manatee!
It was very overcast on the day of their beach session, and for the longest time there was no sign of a beautiful Gulf Coast sunset. But at the end, the last 15 minutes we've been rewarded with one of the most glorious sunsets I've ever seen. Using advanced photography techniques I was able to capture the beautiful sunset and everything you see in these photographs are real!!! Well, except for the mermaid tail.....
