I’ve been doing a lot of family pictures recently. It was nice to have some engagement portraits instead. This was a fun couple that seemed to be having a good time. From what I remember, it was a really windy evening, but this couple made it pretty easy. I only had to worry about the hair in one direction :) It’s been windy almost every evening recently, but it’s not a big deal as long as you turn people into the wind, so the hair is blowing back. The only time it really gets bad is if the wind is blowing so much that it causes the sand to blow across the surface. If sand is blowing in people’s eyes, there isn’t much you can do. So far, this week has been pretty good as far as the weather and the wind. I hope you enjoy the pictures below. If you do, please remember to let me know if the comments.
