A Beautiful Beach Family Session at Sandbridge Beach

I’m so excited to share this Sandbridge Beach family session with you today! When the Ingalls Family reached out about capturing their first professional photos since moving to the area, I just couldn’t wait to work with them! There’s something so special about family sessions at the beach—especially when the location holds new meaning for a family.

Sandbridge Beach Family Session

This evening at Sandbridge Beach was nothing short of perfect. The sun gave us the dreamiest pink and purple sunset, and the ocean breeze kept everyone cool as we played in the sand. It was such a joy capturing Josh and Laura with their little ones, Riley and Oliver (Olly), as they soaked in this special season of life. Moving to a new place is a big transition, but getting to celebrate it with a session at a location that’s so unique to the area made it even more memorable.

One of my favorite moments was when Riley couldn’t resist running straight into the water, dress and all! Her excitement was contagious, and I love how her photos capture that pure childhood joy. Meanwhile, baby Olly was content just taking in the sights, giving us the sweetest little expressions while lounging on a cozy blanket in the sand.

The images showcase a father kissing his toddler daughter, a mother and father embracing with their baby, a couple walking along the shoreline, and candid moments of their little girl playing in the water. The baby boy is seen lying on a blanket in the sand, while the family shares laughter and love during their sunset beach session.

Capturing Sweet Family Moments on the Beach

We made sure to get plenty of variety in their session, from playful moments in the waves to classic family portraits with the dunes in the background. One of my favorite shots is of Josh holding Riley while kissing her cheek—it’s such a tender, genuine moment. Another favorite is the way Laura looked at Olly while snuggling him close. These are the kinds of moments that make family photography so meaningful—freezing those small but powerful expressions of love forever.

To the Ingalls Family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these memories for you! Your family is so sweet, and it was wonderful getting to know you better. I can’t wait to see you all continue to grow and make this area your home.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into this sweet family session!
