Carillon Beach Family Photographer | P Extended Family Sunset Session

Meet the amazing P family — this session is easily in my top favorites of the entire year. The P family was vacationing on 30A together, and as their Carillon Beach family photographer, I was beyond ecstatic when their call came in. Multi-generational beach sessions are some of the most meaningful images I get to create, and this one absolutely delivered.

Three Generations on Carillon Beach

This session had a little bit of everything — grandpas, dads, and sons; moms, daughters, and even a sweet mama-to-be. Three generations of love, all gathered on the sand together for one unforgettable evening. There is something really special about getting the whole family in one frame, especially when the grandkids are little and the grandparents are still able to chase them through the sea oats. These are the images that hang on the wall for decades.

Coordinated in Every Shade of Pink

To make the evening even more magical, the P family all wore various shades of pink — blush, dusty rose, soft coral — paired with cream and khaki. If you know me, you already know pink is one of my all-time favorite colors, so I might have been a little extra excited when they showed up styled to perfection. Coordinated palettes (not matching, just coordinated) are one of my favorite styling tips for extended family photos on 30A, and the P family absolutely nailed it.

A Picture-Perfect Sunset at Carillon Beach

Carillon Beach is one of my favorite stretches of 30A for large family sessions — the wide-open sand, tall dunes, and uncrowded shoreline give us plenty of room to work through every grouping without feeling rushed. You can browse more of my favorite locations on the Destin & 30A photography locations page. Beyond being absolutely nice as could be, the P family was incredible in front of the camera — you could tell they had done this before. If I ever needed an extended family to model, this would absolutely be the one.
