In order to have great beach lifestyle photos, you have to show up and be yourselves. I know this can be daunting for some people, and in those cases I might, just might, encourage you to drink a little liquid courage. In the days of Uber and Lyft, it can be really easy to take the edge off with some alcoholic beverages ahead of your portrait session. This can especially be helpful for dad. I don’t know what it is about photos shoots that men just seem to hate but if you let him off the hook a bit, with a beverage or two, he might just come around!
