Outfit Ideas for Family Beach Photos

I never fully understood the saying, “the days are long, but the years are short” until I had kids of my own. They seem to grow faster and faster every year, and while I love seeing them learn and become the most amazing big kids, sometimes I wish I could hold on to these days a little tighter.

To make sure we always have these memories to look back on, we hired the most amazing photographer, Christine Mitchell (@christinemitchellphotography) last summer for a family beach photoshoot. We woke up before sunrise, which can be tough with two littles, but totally worth it (it helps if you bribe them with donuts afterward) for the cotton candy skies. I will treasure these memories forever and highly recommend capturing as many moments as you can. If you’re looking to have a beach photoshoot this summer with the whole family, I rounded up outfits for the whole bunch that will be cute and classic well into the future.
