Family Beach Session at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa

This sweet family was visiting Fort Lauderdale for a mix of work and vacation, and I got to meet them at the beautiful Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa for their family photos. ✨

It was one of those breezy Florida afternoons—the kind where the wind has a mind of its own—but honestly, it couldn’t have worked out better. The movement in the hair, the flow of dresses, and the little bursts of laughter it created all came together to make the photos feel so alive and natural.

The kids had the best time running up and down the shoreline while mom and dad soaked in those in-between moments that often matter most. We played, we laughed, we let the wind do its thing—and the result was a gallery full of connection, joy, and those genuine smiles you just can’t pose.

I love photographing families during their vacations because it’s such a perfect mix of relaxed vibes and timeless memories. Everyone’s already in “family mode,” which makes the session feel effortless and fun. And when you look back at these photos years from now, you’ll remember not just the trip, but the feeling of being fully present together.

Even though this particular session was in Fort Lauderdale, I do photograph families regularly in Delray Beach. If you’re visiting South Florida soon and thinking about family photos—whether in Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach, Boca Raton or Palm Beach, I’d love to help capture those little moments that tell your family’s story. 🌊
