Coquina Beach | Motherhood Beach Portraits

I loved this special motherhood portrait session on Coquina Beach, taken a few weeks ago. We had the most glorious night and light. This beach is one of my favorite places to do beach photos. I used to visit the nearby Longboat Key north island as a kid on vacations from Green Bay as a kid, so that may be why it is an extra special spot for me. However, it has ample parking and small little nooks of greenery that still stand after last year’s horrible hurricane season. The sand is always soft and the light is fun to play with as the beach wraps around to the intercoastal. This sweet mother and son duo was such a joy to photograph as well. They snuggled, played and had a great time. We even got a few of just mama in her white-hot outfit on the beach, too. I am so glad she asked me to document this special age and time and absolutely wish I had something like these when my boys were babies for sure. I am just glad I am able to do this for other mothers and definitely make sure I get in the frame with my “babies” still each year to make up for lost time.
