Two Babies on the Beach before 8 AM

What do you get when you ask two Mamas and their families to be ready for a photo shoot by 7:45 am?   You get a virtually private beach, happy babies and the whole day in front of you to enjoy.   The hardest thing with photographing babies is hitting the sweet spot for timing.  Since small babies typically nap 2-3 times a day, I have found that mornings really work best.  Despite a little June Gloom, the beach still looks beautiful, more like a watercolor backdrop, and the babies are happy…. well for the most part.

Will and Ella gave us lots of smiles, a few small tears and a whole lot of baby time for both Deseree and me!  Thank you so much to this beautiful family for getting up early and trusting us that it would look amazing!  Here is a little sneak peak!  Don’t miss the slideshow at the end!  Enjoy:
