Destin Beach Newborn Photographer | Baby Nolan’s Sunrise Session

Meet baby Nolan! OMG, look at this little angel! I personally know this family and they are the nicest, sweetest people. As their Destin beach newborn photographer, I was truly honored they chose me to photograph their little baby Nolan.

An Early Morning Yes

Unfortunately, when they called I was booked solid — but I wanted to photograph him so badly that we decided to do a sunrise session. I’m so glad we did. He was so good, and we had such a beautiful sunrise that our sky was just jaw-dropping.

Why I Love Newborn Beach Sessions

I love taking babies to the beach. The ocean soothes them to sleep and helps us get a variety of shots we might not be able to get in a traditional studio. Thankfully we were able to do several setups — driftwood snuggles, a soft mint crochet blanket, tideline profile portraits, and the sweetest close-ups of Nolan’s tiny toes.

The Best Locations for Destin Beach Newborn Photos

Destin’s sugar-white sand, soft driftwood, and emerald Gulf make for the dreamiest newborn backdrop — especially at sunrise. For more spots to consider, take a peek at my Destin and 30A photo locations guide. Traveling in? My Destin visitor guide has all the tips.

See You for Your One-Year Birthday Photos, Nolan!
