I had a great time photographing not only the Seaborn family but Mama Seaborn’s extended family as well this past month on Seagate beach in Naples. Jill called me a few weeks in advance to set up a mini session for her family while they were down visiting from Ohio. She wanted a beautiful Naples Beach as a background for her adorable family of five. Twins, Carter and Addison followed my directions great and really enjoyed being on the beach, I think. Some guys were fishing down by the waters edge and left some of their bait fish on the beach and the two of them, along with their little cousin (who came a little later for a group shot), had no problem examining them and picking them up! Brave little ones! I have lived here my whole life and I’m still not keen on touching fish haha.  I wish I was though! Baby Ava hammed it up for me too- you could tell she wasn’t shy in front of the lens! We had a pretty intense rain prior to this shoot- more than a typical Summer shower.. we almost postponed but I kept my eye on the weather and knew that if it were to pass we’d get some beautiful colors after- we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t even that hot- the rain really helped to cool it down.  Here’s the Seaborn family starting with one of my favorite group shots to date!
