Meet The Beautiful Haubenschild Family!

There is a unique thrill to a Destin sunrise session. As a photographer, I know it can be a bit of a gamble—you never quite know what the sky will do, or how the little ones will handle the early wake-up call. But when you get a morning like this one with the Haubenschild family, you see exactly why it is so worth it!

A Breathtaking Destin Backdrop

The sky was absolutely gorgeous for our time on the sand. The transition from dawn to full daylight provided a backdrop that felt almost painted, with soft colors that complemented the Emerald Coast’s signature turquoise water. It was the perfect stage for this sweet family of four.

Perfect Models & Perfect Styling

The whole family was such a joy to work with, but I have to give a special shout-out to little Cooper and Chloe. They were literally the perfect little models, rocking their poses with so much personality!

The Haubenschilds also hit it out of the park with their wardrobe. They chose a beautiful mix of coastal blues and crisp whites that looked amazing against the morning light. Coordinating outfits for a beach session can be tricky, but they proved that a classic, cohesive look never goes out of style.

Why Sunrise is Worth the Early Alarm

Sunrise sessions in Destin offer a quiet, peaceful atmosphere that you just can’t find during the sunset rush. With the beach nearly to ourselves and the stunning morning light, we were able to capture authentic moments of connection that this family will cherish for years to come. I already can’t wait to see them again next year!
