This was the second time I had the pleasure of photographing Katie and her family. We met last year during the Fall season, and I was so excited when she reached out asking for a Beachfront photoshoot this summer. I had a bit of time to plan where to go, so as soon as I scoped out Atwater Beach I knew it was going to be perfect for them.

We had the most amazing evening. And, while the walk down and back up was quite the adventure, it was all worth it. As I write this post just as Fall has begun, it makes me think back to this warm evening where the summer glow was in it's prime and the water was warm and welcoming.
