I had an AWESOME shoot the other night on Folly Beach with Tracie, Eric, and their adorable kids. We actually live in the same neighborhood, so we all caravaned out to the beach together. They’ve been in Charleston for a year now and have never done a family portrait. So I’m sure the grandparents are going to LOVE their Christmas gifts this year! 😉

One of my favorites is the last image (literally the last shot I took as the light faded quickly) of them silhouetted against the glow on the horizon from the setting sun. I love the crisp pinkish purples you get in the sky this time of year as the weather gets chilly. During the summer, that would have been more of a fuzzy yellowish orange. For you techies out there, I propped an SB-800 (in CLS mode) onto the sand in front of the rock they’re standing on to get that rim-light. It gives them a little extra POP and helps separate them from the background.
