The Ray family and I go way back, and I have loved their sessions and the girls’ flouncy dresses every time I’ve photographed them! This session, in particular, reminded me of the day I met them on the beach at Coronado five years ago(https://amygrayphotography.com/san-diego-photographers-coronado-photographer/). All the spinning, all the tulle, all the fun! We had a bonus this year with a spectacular sunset and super low tide combining for some of my favorite silhouettes(https://amygrayphotography.com/how-to-capture-a-sunset-silhouette-2/) ever. Even though this Petit session took place during a very pivotal game of the World Series (and dad is a big Texas fan!), I think everyone is happy we ran around the beach that night.

Every day in the early fall, the Coronado sunset sun creeps closer to the end of Point Loma, and I watch as the real change in seasons edges closer. San Diego summers last and last, and some of my favorite “summer” sessions happen in September and October, when the light is still warm and glowy and the empty beaches make a perfect backdrop for a fun session like this. The first photograph that beautiful evening was taken before I even met my sweet clients! As I arrived at our meeting place, they were checking out a sandy hill. I quickly took this candid silhouette shot, which became one of their favorites—and mine.

These little girls love each other, and it shows! I had so much fun seeing their family interact during this Petit session on the beach at Coronado, and I hope to see them again sometime soon!!

Some kids love the beach. Some kids don’t. This little one was ALL ABOUT it! He was so excited to explore the waves and get wet, wet, wet! Nothing stopped him! I loved his enthusiasm and zest for life. We should all be a little more like him.
