Wild Dunes Family Style

How to shift and pivot when we show up to our location and get a curve ball? A Wild Dunes beach re-nourishment focus was happening directly in front of the home where we were meeting our clients for family portraits. So…

We went on a walk through the woods, down a boardwalk, through a neighborhood, down the resort boardwalk and ended up at a ‘ready to go’ beach. Results were lots of different backdrops of trees, fences, pastel boardwalk homes and beach while everyone got their steps in for the day.

With a family unit of five plus a grand-dad, we played with multiple combinations in each setting. The whole group, family of five, girls, guys, solos and siblings. This crew often lets one of the kiddos style their sessions so we have done formal to hawiiann shirts with them. They voted on blue and white this year which if you browse our website, is kind of our ‘go to’ suggestion.

Luckily, this family is one of our repeats, so the adventure just added to the fun. Their ability to trust and adjust with us made for a fantastic session. Great reminder to have a plan but know that something even better may unfold.
