Capturing Precious Moments: A Family Photography Session on Presque Isle Erie Beach

Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, boasts breathtaking scenery and a picturesque beach, making it an ideal backdrop for a family photography session. The tranquil shoreline, stunning sunsets, and natural beauty of the area create a unique canvas for capturing heartfelt moments and creating lasting memories. In this blog, we’ll explore the enchanting experience of a family photography session on Presque Isle Erie Beach.

The Perfect Setting: Presque Isle Erie Beach offers a diverse range of settings that cater to various family dynamics and preferences. From sandy shores to rocky outcrops and lush dunes, photographers have a plethora of options to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a serene sunset photoshoot or a vibrant daytime session, the beach provides an ever-changing canvas that adapts to your vision.

Timing is Everything: To make the most of the photography session, timing is crucial. The soft, golden hour light just before sunset or the gentle morning sun creates a magical ambiance that enhances the beauty of the family’s interactions. Photographers often recommend scheduling sessions during these times to capture warm, flattering light and vibrant colors that enhance the overall mood of the images.

Capturing Candid Moments: Presque Isle Erie Beach is known for its relaxed atmosphere, which naturally encourages candid interactions among family members. Candid shots can often capture the true essence of familial relationships – genuine laughter, playful gestures, and heartfelt embraces. Photographers often take advantage of these moments to create a candid and authentic narrative through their lenses.

Incorporating Nature: Presque Isle’s natural elements provide a stunning backdrop that adds depth and character to the photographs. From the tranquil waters of Lake Erie to the captivating dunes and the vibrant flora, nature becomes an essential element in every shot. Photographers often use these features creatively to frame shots, adding an artistic touch to the family portraits.

Creating Lasting Memories: A family photography session at Presque Isle Erie Beach goes beyond simply taking photos; it’s about creating memories that will be cherished for generations. The experience of spending quality time together while a professional photographer captures your family’s dynamics creates a unique bond and leaves you with beautiful images that tell your story.

Tips for a Successful Session:

Plan Ahead: Discuss your vision and expectations with the photographer beforehand to ensure you’re on the same page.
Coordinate Outfits: Choose outfits that complement each other and the natural surroundings without being too matchy-matchy.
Be Yourselves: Relax, have fun, and be yourselves. Natural interactions make for the best photographs.
Embrace the Environment: Utilize the beach’s natural elements to enhance the visual appeal of the photos.
Choose the Right Photographer: Select a photographer who understands your family’s dynamics and can capture the essence of your relationships.

Presque Isle Erie Beach provides an enchanting backdrop for a family photography session that goes beyond traditional portraits. The stunning landscape, changing light, and candid interactions create a unique experience that results in beautiful images and lasting memories. If you’re looking to capture your family’s dynamics amidst the beauty of nature, Presque Isle Erie Beach is undoubtedly a top choice.

I didn’t give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you

Now is the time! Don’t let another year pass that you say … I really should book a mommy & me session for me and the kids. I know those thoughts!! I have been there done that. Just do it and trust me – you will be so HAPPY that you did !

There are 2 options for these mommy and me mini sessions.

Option 1: $595 | 5 fully edited images sent digitally

Option 2: $1085 | 10 fully edited images sent digitally along with a 5×5 Signature album

About Signature Albums :

Albums are a great way to display magical memories from your sessions. Let’s be honest…How many times have you booked a session, had amazing photos , downloaded them to your computer and then never printed them. Even if you have a large home, you may not have any more wall space to
wall paper your home in more photos. In addition, not every images is wall worthy, however, they are still part of the story and having them in an album is a great way to reminisce those memories. I custom design each album and make sure to include all or as many images as possible into your keepsake. My albums are 10 page spreads on archival thick photographic paper, lay flat spreads that are built to
last for generations.
You have the choice of linen or leather (I will show you sample colors) or will pick the best color option based off of the colors in the session.
Albums are boxed in a keepsake graphic linen box – that are great for storing. however, albums are meant to keep out to be loved by the family and visitors. My albums have become a new favorite with my clients. They are great gifts to yourself or to a grandparent or other.

Location: Whimsical lush green area, probably longer uncut grasses (around the Wexford area) On a perfect gold hour evening the light will be warm and creates a magical glow. The exact location will be disclosed upon booking ( with in a month of the session )
Please keep in mind I am not responsible for animals, insects or plants. Please spray, lotion and cloth yourselves appropriate.

Date: May 19th

Rain Date : I will work with each client individually on a rebooking of you mommy & me should your session get rained out.

Time: Sessions take place near sunset . Whatever time is chosen please DO NOT be late & be 10 minutes early. If you are late that will cut into your time which can also result in less images if I am not given the amount of time needed.
The slots time out at 20 min. Sometimes I do get everything I need in 10 minutes. These are mini sessions and I will make the call if I feel I got everything I need under 20 minutes.

Styling suggestions provided and are suited to the location

Details: Simple, emotional, whimsical mommy & me sessions (or maternity). I am a story telling photographer. My goal will be to collect details, close up and far away images. These are not meant to be super posed, however, not lifestyle – it’s a magical mix of in-between.
