Priscilla + Esteban | 25th Wedding Anniversary Family Portraits

25th Wedding Anniversary Family Portraits in Palm Beach, Florida

On Sunday, August 6th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Priscilla and Esteban's 25th wedding anniversary family portraits! Priscilla was referred to us by Danielle whose photos we had taken the week before! When Priscilla and I chatted for the first time she told me about her idea of doing an elegant family portrait shoot in honor of her and Esteban's 25th wedding anniversary!

We then chatted about outfits and locations. She described their outfits and explained how she wanted an elegant location. One of the first places that came to mind was Bethesda by the Sea! The second look was still elegant but was going to be a bit more casual. We quickly began talking about The Flagler Museum, and The Palm Beach Lake Trail right next door! And just like that, the locations were set!

The session started at Bethesda by the Sea where we capture their more formal portraits. Their elegant attire fit perfectly with the venue and couldn't have been any more perfect! When it was time to head to the second location they changed into their second outfits which incorporated more colors that really popped against the grand Flagler Museum gate. As if their session couldn't get any better they also brought their ADORABLE poodle, named Penny who was also dressed to impress--pearl necklace and all!

Priscilla and Esteban, thank you for allowing us the honor of documenting such a wonderful milestone in your love story. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and your family! We hope to work with you again in the future!

Singer Island Lifestyle Family Portraits

Singer Island Lifestyle Family Portraits

On July 25th, we had the pleasure of documenting some Singer Island lifestyle family portraits and some senior portraits as well! Half the session was dedicated to family vacation portraits and the other to Alison for her high school senior portraits! Their session took place at Ocean Reef Park and Beach in Singer Island.

Alison's High-School Senior Portraits

We started the session by capturing Alison's Singer Island destination senior portraits! The weather was gorgeous and there were just enough clouds to create perfect lighting! Alison wore a gorgeous black dress that really stood out against the pastel background.Then we just changed views and this is what happened... Magic! These were my favorite shots from her session!  Then we captured a few more by the water!  How gorgeous is this scene!?

Family Beach Portraits

Then it was time for some Singer Island lifestyle family portraits! They are such a great family and it was such a pleasure working with them!

The Parks Family | South Florida Family Vacation Portraits

South Florida Family Vacation Portraits at Ocean Reef Park on Singer Island

On Tuesday, July 18th, 2017, we had the pleasure of capturing some family portraits of the Parks family while vacationing in South Florida! Their South Florida family vacation portraits took place on a bit of a stormy day at Ocean Reef Park on Singer Island. The Weather Channel said there would be clear skies but storm clouds were definitely coming. This weather, however, made for some amazing beach photos! The light was incredible and this may be my favorite family portrait shoot to date!

We started our session with a few portraits on the boardwalk that leads to Ocean Reef Beach.

Then we walked down to the beach for a few more portraits in this breezy beach scene.

Another plus of having a portrait session on a stormy week day... the beach was completely empty!

Then we captured a few more family portraits by the coral rocks on Ocean Reef Beach!

On Friday, July 14th, we had the pleasure of capturing some vacation portraits for a darling family! Their session took place at Ocean Reef Park on Singer Island. Part of the family lives in Texas and the other in Ohio but they decided to meet in South Florida to share a family vacation! They stayed at the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa which is actually right next door to Ocean Reef Park! We had a wonderful time working with this family and we hope you enjoy their tropical South Florida portrait session!
