This family photoshoot session was one of those perfect evenings where everything aligned beautifully. From the gentle waves along the beach with birds flying in the back, to the sweeping river views from a high overlook, every moment felt full of joy.

Starting on the Beach

We kicked off the session at the beach just off Hudson Pier, where the girls had the best time running along the shoreline with their parents, leaving family footprints in the sand. The late-season warmth gave us that dreamy golden glow, making every laugh, twirl, and hug feel extra special. The love between this family was so evident—Mom and Dad soaking in the moments while their daughters giggled and played, the river and sun shimmering behind them.

Chasing the Sunset at the Overlook

As the sun began to dip lower, we made our way just down the road to an overlook perched high above the river. The view was breathtaking—a sprawling bridge in the distance, water reflecting the sky’s changing hues, and a hillside still holding onto its autumn color. The girls got some individual shots here, and Mom and Dad got a quiet moment together against the backdrop of the glowing sunset.

Why I Love Sessions Like This

What made this session so special was the effortless connection between this family. There were no forced poses—just movement, laughter, and the kind of love that makes photographing families so rewarding. Late fall always brings a unique charm, and this session captured it perfectly: warm colors, cozy embraces, and the magic of golden hour along the river.
