BRYANT FAMILY SESSION

Meet the Bryants! Nina, Craig, Macie, Madelyn, and Marcus. In the days leading up to their session, the forecast was calling for sunshine - yay! I noticed the sky growing darker and darker as I headed to the beach to meet up with them…

The Bryant Family arrived ready to jump into the session. We started out with some posed groupings near the dunes and this huge storm cloud began to loom over us from the land-side of the beach. 

Nina and her family were so open to continue with the session in the hopes they’d still get a few good shots. I had a moment where I thought "should we turn back now?" but the sky was too gorgeous to stop- even if it meant we would get wet! We continued taking more photos by the water.

Other beachgoers were rushing past us heading back to their cars and soon the beach was empty, except for us capturing the sweetest family moments with the most epic dark blue storm clouds rolling in! Ironically, Nina had picked out navy blue outfits for her family to wear and it matched the sky perfectly! I love it when things align unexpectedly like that!

Macie, Madelyn, and Marcus goofed around as their silly personalities shined through for the camera. The love this family shares is undeniable! I was so grateful that Nina and her sweet family were open-minded and laid back so that we were able to document this session despite the looming storm. It never ended up raining strangely enough…. The storm clouds passed over us and across the ocean. We all remained dry, and feeling quite pleased and excited for the final product…and I must say, the final product turned out better than we could have hoped for!

Nina later wrote me this feedback on Instagram: Melissa was amazing! We were on vacation & she made the process smooth. The kids had fun & we got so many great pictures! I HIGHLY recommend booking a session with her.
