Kelly’s Family Session

August 3, 2026

Kelly's family got together for evening portraits at Vilano Beach on a breezy summer evening in August. We worked through the smaller groupings against the sea oats — couples, grandparents with the grandkids, and we convinced some of the crew to climb up onto the red lifeguard stand for a few shots by the water. They walked the shoreline together, hand in hand, and enjoyed a beautiful St. Augustine sunset.
