Let’s go to the beach

The beach has to be one of my favourite locations for family photo sessions, and if you’re looking for outdoor family photography in Kent, it doesn’t get much better than this! There’s something truly special about sandy toes, the soothing sound of waves crashing, and cosy family cuddles nestled among the dunes – the perfect setting for capturing precious memories all year round.

Even during the Autumn and Winter months, a beach photoshoot remains an ideal choice for family portraits in Kent. All it takes is an extra layer or two, and maybe a cosy blanket, and you’re set to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, no matter the season.

For this particular family session, I had the pleasure of photographing Holly and her lovely family at Camber Sands, Rye, during the final days of summer. The beach was the perfect place to capture their moments of joy and connection. As the crowds started to leave and the golden light of sunset illuminated the sand, we were able to create some truly stunning photographs. The relaxed, natural feel of the beach made for an unforgettable family photography session.

If you’re looking to capture some special moments with your loved ones, a beach family session at Camber Sands or another scenic outdoor location in Kent might be just what you’re looking for. Whether you prefer the golden hour on the beach or the beauty of Kent’s countryside, I’d love to help you preserve these memories in beautiful, timeless images.

Hi, I'm Lori.
Honorary Gilmore Girl & your new photography BFF!

I don't believe photography is just about taking pretty pictures. Photography should tell a story, your story, in turn creating lifelong memories that you can hold in your hands and hang on your wall.
