Kiawah Family Portraits : Green to Beach

We have a number of clients that we get to revisit each year. Getting to see the kids grow and change from year to year is a special part of our job. There is also an ease that comes with knowing what to expect, that laughter is welcome and that being yourself is 100% more interesting than perfection. The most loved images are usually the ones that would be squelched with too much interference. Grateful that this crew always embraces the spirit of being themselves which usually involves 2 to 4 people being at least knee deep in the water by the end with a family dance party and perhaps a jump for joy.

This year their rental was near the Roy Barth Tennis center which just happened to have a bridge with great backlight that headed to the beach. We followed the boardwalk through the jungle, discovered some woodsy backgrounds and found some strong lines on the way to the beach. We embraced the curves of the dunes and grasses before heading to the waters edge.
