Planning family beach photo sessions can be wonderful. It can be a fun way to capture memories, but keeping the kids happy is key. Here’s how to make sure everyone has a good time. Keep on scrolling for more!
Pick the Right Time
Choose a time when your kids tend to be happier and more energetic, like early mornings or late afternoons. Avoid nap times and make sure they’re well-fed beforehand to prevent crankiness!
Let Them Have Fun
Let your kids be themselves. Encourage them to play, explore, and interact with the beach environment. Candid moments, like playing in the sand or splashing in the water, often make the best photos.
Bring Snacks and Drinks
Pack some snacks and water to keep everyone refreshed. A quick snack break can boost moods!
Make It a Game
Turn the session into playtime. Create little games or let them build sandcastles!
Dress for Comfort
Choose comfortable, casual outfits. This allows kids to move freely and helps them feel at ease. Coordinated but comfy beachwear looks great and keeps everyone happy.
Be Flexible
Be ready to adapt. Kids can be unpredictable, so go with the flow. If something isn’t working, try another approach without stress.
Plan Together
Talk to your kids about the session in advance. Explain what to expect and listen to their ideas. When they’re part of the planning, they’re more likely to be excited and engaged.
Celebrate Afterwards
Plan something fun after the session, like ice cream or a beach picnic. Having a treat to look forward to can motivate the kids and end the day on a happy note.
By following these tips, your family beach photo session can be a joyful and memorable experience for everyone!!

Kind Words
“Janice exceeded my hopes for a professional family photo session at Edisto Beach, while encouraging us all to have fun as she clicked away! Janice has a great photographer’s eye! She and her assistant, Allie, worked perfectly together to persuade even the littlest grandkids to smile and look at the camera in unison! I highly recommend Janice Jones Photography!”
