Golden Hour Family Beach Session in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

Meet The Tiptons!


This beautiful family has finally returned to balmy Florida after a year spent in Minnesota. They left as a family of three and returned with the addition of sweet baby Nolan. I was so excited to photograph their adorable family. The last time I did, Megan was pregnant with Addi. Now, she is a bright and fun two year old! The Tiptons really wanted beach photos since they had been away from the ocean for over a year, so we met in South Ponte Vedra Beach at the golden hour on a breezy October late afternoon.

When we began the session, beautiful golden light was streaming over the dunes behind us. I had to capture the beauty of it as the Tiptons explored the beach. Sunshine just makes you feel happy, ya know? Addi found some seashells to play with and was showing her dad, Philip, how she could use them to scoop up the sand. I love all of the precious moments captured like Addi's little hand around her Daddy's neck while they looked at flowers together, the joy on Megan and Addi's faces as they embraced each other, and the tenderness in Megan's eyes as she gazed down at her son.

After I took some photos near the dunes, we traveled further down the beach near the ocean. The sky was breathtaking at this point. There was a giant cloud formation offshore and the sunset was throwing beautiful colors of pink and purple onto it.

It was an honor for me to photograph this sweet family. I look forward to capturing many more memories in the years to come.
