This family had been planning their annual family vacation for months. 16 family members, from grandparents to the youngest grandchild, would be gathering in Pacific Beach, CA for a week of fun in the sun. But before they could fully relax and enjoy their time together, they knew there was one important task they had to tackle: the extended family beach portraits.

As the family prepared for their beach portrait session, the parents decided to add a special touch to the photos by having all the kids wear matching sunglasses and beach bum t-shirts. The kids were excited to wear their new matching attire, and they all looked adorable in their sunglasses and playful t-shirts and as a bonus, they got to get wet at the end!

I really love how adding a playful touch to the photos makes the portraits even more special and unique.
