lauderdale by the sea

family of 3 | 1- hour family photography in lauderdale by the sea

I last saw this couple about a month before their baby girl was born, which was also about the time the world shut down. Because of COVID-19 and restrictions, we weren’t able to do the at-home newborn session we had planned so we changed course and captured a one-year session instead. Almost exactly a year since our sunrise maternity session, we all returned to the same El Prado Park beach in Lauderdale by the Sea (this time for a sunset session) & celebrated the now family of 3.

This was one of those perfectly-clear, beautiful, bright sunrise mornings that I dream about. The light was just perfect at this little spot at El Prado Park in Lauderdale by the Sea beach, South Florida for a sunrise maternity session. I love the quiet aspect the empty beaches and sunrise add to these photos - something that aligns perfectly with that pre-baby stillness.
