Sam contacted me because her family was going to be vacationing in Michigan City for their summer vacation and babymoon, and they wanted to get photos taken in the same place that her husband, Jay had proposed to her - Washington Park Beach with the lighthouse in the background! How sweet and special is that?!
We had the most beautiful summer day, not a cloud in the sky, so sunny, and warm, with a good breeze!
I love that we got to get pictures of them as a family of 3. Their sweet little girl, soon to be big sis, was just adorable!
Solo sweetie photos were a must of this little munchkin!
Sandy toe photos at the beach are always a fave of mine!
We let big sis have some play time on the beach and we grabbed some mama photos with her adorable bump!
Then, dad hopped in for a sweet pic 🥰
...and then Aubrey needed some mama time too!
These are some of my favorite photos from their session 🤍
When we were done in that spot down by the water, I took them over to this beautiful shady spot by the beach grass on the side of the dune. Aubrey was getting a little sleepy because we were inching closer to her morning nap time, but it worked out perfectly to grab a few cute pics of her being slap happy!
Goofing around with mama for the cutest grins 🥰
That sun was positioned perrrrfectly for these shots 🤩
Aubrey in all her cuteness - I mean, and those jeans. COME ON 😍
And Sam in the same spot. Beautiful mama!
I love photographing Babymoons, Family Vacations, Family Reunions, and more at the beach in Michigan City (and New Buffalo, Union Pier, Lakeside, etc!).
If you are planning a trip to the beach this summer and need a photographer to capture moments like these, I'd love to hear from you!
