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!

Ocean Reef Park Family Vacation Portraits

Family Vacation Portraits at Ocean Reef Park on Singer Island

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!

The Mukhatiyar Family | Singer Island Family Vacation Portraits

Singer Island Family Vacation Portraits at Ocean Reef Park

On Monday, May 22nd, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting the Mukhatiyar family's Singer Island family vacation memories! Their session took place at Ocean Reef Park on Singer Island. I love documenting family vacation portraits at this park because there are always a handful of gorgeous spots to choose from.

We began our session on the wooden deck that led directly to the beach. This wooden deck is surrounded by palm trees and many other beach plants. I love the tropical feel this spot gives. Then we moved on to the beach to one of my favorite spots! This beach is filled with flowy beachgrass and has an adorable wooden lifeguard stand. At sunset, the sun peeks through the grass and the palms in the background giving the most dreamy beach scene.

Afterward, we walked along the shoreline as Shane, their oldest son, gave the best expressions as he saw the waves approach his toes. He also tried everything in his power to dive into the water! This made for some great candid shots!

Lastly, we ended the session in, by far, the most unique part of this beach--the spot that gives this park the name, "Ocean Reef Park"--the coral rock formation on the edge of the shore. The waves crash against the rocks and the water splashes into the air, creating an incredible backdrop!

Mukhatiyar Family, thank you for choosing us to document your first trip to South Florida! It was our pleasure documenting your Singer Island family vacation! We hope to work with you again!
