Charlestown Beach Family Session | RI Family Photographer

Living in RI, the Ocean State, makes photo sessions at the beach or by the water super popular options. As a RI family photographer, it’s a location that many clients choose to have their sessions at. Who wouldn’t love the ocean as a backdrop to their family photos?

Most often, beach sessions occur late spring through mid-fall, when the weather is milder, but they can be done at any time. Case in point, the family featured today. Mom contacted me in late fall and said she’d like a beach session at Charlestown Beach. We decided on a December date, and Mom let me know that she loved how peaceful the beach is in winter and how that sometimes gray sky is pretty awesome. I can’t say I disagree with her! It was really important for her to have family photos for her home, which is my jam. She also mentioned she had some pets that are part of the family and they’d be coming too. Listen, I have fur children, so I completely get this. The more, the merrier.

Our session happened on a chilly gray day in December at Charlestown Beach. Despite the cold temperatures, everyone (including animals) were great. It’s always a privilege to meet new families as part of my job and this family was amazing. Mr. S showed me his rock-throwing skills (he’s got a fantastic arm) and it was wonderful to see the interaction between Mr. S and his sister, Miss H. Mom had a gorgeous warm shawl on that doubled as a great warming device for her kids during photos with them. Moms are superheroes.
