I know, I always comment on the weather, but honestly, it's a huge part of photography. What kind of light, how much light, how much time do I have with the light, and if the friggin' wind is going to be a problem. Surf Beach can be a bit stubborn at times, but I've discovered that embracing the unpredictable nature of this place often leads to capturing some truly enchanting images.


According to the forecast, there were some clouds on the horizon. Naturally, I gathered the family pretty early at the beach to make the most of the available light. The sun made a brief appearance, but it knew better than to shine too brightly. The sky remained filled with moody clouds, creating a captivatingly artistic backdrop.

Working with this family was an absolute blast! And let me tell you, that adorable baby with his mischievous smile? It totally made my day!


As we set up the shoot, the clouds danced around, playing hide and seek with the sun. The wind, ever the drama queen, decided to make an appearance as well, but instead of letting it ruin our session, we made it part of the story. The family's laughter mingled with the rustling waves and the gentle whoosh of the wind, creating a symphony of natural sounds that added life to each photograph. The clouds provided a soft, diffused light that was simply perfect for capturing the warmth and closeness of this wonderful family.


In the end, the weather's unpredictability turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The moody sky and playful breeze added a unique charm to the photos, making each shot feel like a timeless piece of art. Surf Beach, with all its quirks, once again proved to be a perfect canvas for capturing beautiful memories. So, here's to the weather, with all its whims and fancies. It keeps us on our toes and makes each photography session a delightful adventure. And here's to wonderful families who bring joy, love, and a touch of magic to every frame. Can't wait for the next unpredictable day at Surf Beach!
