Would I photograph an extended family session at the beach, followed up with some backyard shenanigans? Heck yes I would!! You know me, you know that nothing makes me happier than imagery that is real and authentic to a family. I want to see the love, the bonds and the connections; the stuff that we remember the most from a time that truly is fleeting. For the Evans family the beach is important to them and how they play and they had their cousins to play with too.

I think cousins are so important, I love ALL 30-something of mine, so it was great to do photograph a session with cousins! So off we went for a stroll to the beach. As soon as we set foot on the beach it immediately rained and we had to shelter under some rocky overhangs. It didn’t take long to pass and then we had brilliant sunshine to play in which sent me scrambling with camera settings thanks to the changing light conditions. That’s Tassie weather for you!!

Back at their house we got to have a little play in the BEST CUBBY IN THE WORLD – yep, I’m calling it! These kids are going to grow up with some of the coolest memories from their childhood. I’m considering packing up and moving to the beach too! Here’s some highlights from this lovely little lifestyle family session.
