As a family photographer who has worked with close to 50 families in the last three years, there’s nothing quite like the creative gift of capturing the candid moments of a family photo session especially at the beach. And when that family has four kids, you know the session is going to be equal parts laid-back and chaotic!

I love working with families who choose a laid-back and casual approach to their photo session. It allows me to capture their authentic personalities, without any pressure to look perfect or act a certain way. This family was no exception, as you can tell, because not all of their faces are smiling or even captured looking at the camera at the same time.

As I began taking photos, the chaos only intensified. The youngest refused to sit still, the second youngest had a sudden urge to build sandcastles, and the older two kept running away from the group in an effort to go swimming. But through it all, the family remained patient and lighthearted, laughing and joking as they tried to corral their kids into a single frame.

One of my favorite things about photographing families is being given full trust to capture the beauty of the moment, even when that moment is chaotic and unpredictable. I loved capturing the little moments of joy and laughter with this family as they danced conga, played with their beach ball and the sand and just enjoyed each other’s presence.
