We had an absolute blast during this fun and playful summer family session at the beach! Any excuse for a beach photoshoot is always a win for us! When this mom got in touch about having a laid-back session with her family at the beach, we knew it was going to be great.

When we asked the family what they were up for, they said anything goes, and we're so glad they did because we ended up with the cutest photos! There were so many great shots that it was tough to pick just one favorite!

They splashed in the waves, dug into the sand, giggled with tickles, and raced along the shoreline. These boys were adorable together and got to burn off some energy by being adventurous and just having a good time!

Their outfits in white, cream, and clay orange looked amazing against the clay rock wall and the gentle, foamy waves.

September is always a great time for a beach session because the weather is clearer and the water is warmer. We've been to Rockaway Beach in Pacifica at different times throughout the year, and we can definitely say it’s much better when it's warm and sunny than when it's super cold and cloudy!
