With the sun beaming down and the wind blowing your hair, what could be more relaxing than a day on the beach. That was my thought when I noticed the weather was going to be perfect. I headed to coastline of North Carolina Wilmington beach. I totally love Wilmington and all it has to offer. I decided to do a photoshoot that expressed the feeling of the day. The number one important thing for me when I do a shoot is to make sure my client has a great time. I want it to be an experience not just a session or photoshoot.
I want to bring you on my journey to capture our wonderful day on the beach. We actually went on a farm as well and had a blast with the horses. I will talk more about that later. We started the morning at the Kreashanz Salon where Noelle did a fantastic job with Lynley's hair and Jacey did just as amazing on her makeup. We wanted a little makeup but for it to look a natural as possible. Needless to say, Lynley felt pampered. I totally love doing all day shoots with my clients because it gives us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the day and get great photographs.
After having fun with hair and makeup, we headed to Fort Fisher State Recreational area. What a lovely place that was! We took a few portraits under the beautiful trees. The sun was kissing her face so beautifully, I just had to capture it. In these types of areas it can be difficult to get the right amount of light to come through the trees to give this effect. It didn't take us long to find the right spot and start clicking. It turned out very lovely. She was so relaxed sitting there. This day was definitely starting off great. This sun kissing photoshoot was coming to life.
We then headed over to the beach location of Fort Fisher. There was so many beautiful areas we could use, but there was still debris from the hurricane a few months back so we had to be careful. The rocks made it a little difficult to get to the beach area, but they were very pretty for the background. The water was very cold at that time. The dress we used was one I bought from Altar'd State Clothing store. I actually went on a shopping spree for this shoot and fell in love with this dress. I instantly knew I wanted to do a shoot with it. I imagined what it would look like on my client with the sun kissing her face on the beach. I was right it looked as I had envisioned.
