Watercolor Garden & Beach Photographer | The Le Family Session

Today, it is my honor to introduce you to the beautiful Le family! This amazing couple are local medical professionals, and I was truly excited when I got the call for a potential beach session. As a Watercolor garden and beach photographer, sessions like this one – two totally different backdrops in a single afternoon – are some of my very favorites.

Two Gorgeous Watercolor Locations

On our session we chose two gorgeous locations. The first was the lush Watercolor gardens, followed by toes in the sand overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Starting in the manicured garden gives a clean, sophisticated set of portraits, and finishing on the shoreline at sunset brings out the breezy, playful side of any family.

Coordinated Style: Blue, White & Gold

The men wore a handsome blue and white ensemble while mom looked beach chic in a white and gold accented top. They were an absolute joy to photograph, and their son had smiles for miles! Coordinated palettes like these photograph beautifully against both the garden greens and the emerald Gulf.

Cotton-Candy Skies After a Storm Worry

We were worried about storms in the Gulf this day, but thankfully the weather cooperated and we were blessed with cotton-candy skies and a perfect beach backdrop. Florida weather has a way of working itself out right around golden hour – it’s one of my favorite quirks of shooting on 30A.

Why Watercolor for a Garden & Beach Session

The Watercolor neighborhood is one of the only spots on 30A where you can do a polished garden portrait and a barefoot Gulf-side session within the same hour. If you’re still picking a backdrop, my Destin and 30A locations guide walks through every favorite spot.

Planning Your Family Session

If you’re traveling in – or local like the Les – my visitor guide for 30A and Destin covers timing, what to wear, and how to mix a garden look with a beach look in one afternoon.

See You Again on the Emerald Coast

Here are some of my favorite images from our session for you to enjoy. It was a pleasure, Le family – can’t wait to photograph those beautiful faces again!

Ready to plan your own Watercolor garden and beach session? Whether you want polished garden portraits, a barefoot Gulf-side finish, or both in the same evening, I would love to help you plan it. Please contact me for detailed pricing and availability.
