It's no secret if you follow my Instagram or Facebook accounts that I LOVE a beautiful sunrise. Everywhere I travel, I at least capture one sunrise and even though I am not a morning person, I LOVE when families ask for a sunrise for their Family Photography session.
This wonderful family came back to me for their little one's 1st Birthday sunrise session and we met at a beach I had not been to in awhile and I have NO idea why.
As a family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine I have been to all of our beautiful beaches, but some are just more requested than others for family photoshoots.
So, I am SO happy we switched it up so I can remember why this beach is amazing for family photography.
Make your Thursday (or as I like to call it, Friday Eve) even better with some of my favorite photos from this beautiful First Birthday photoshoot in Atlantic Beach, FL.
