Kristen Sloan Photography BlogTradewinds Island Grand Resort Sunset Family Portraits in St Pete Beach Florida
Posted on June 5, 2015
May was the month of adorable toddlers and babies and this little girl was so sweet! We had a great time photographing this adorable family at Tradewinds Island Grand Resort and the Guy Harvey Outpost over Memorial Day weekend. She was the sweetest little girl; almost walking, with the warmest smile! We had fun meandering around the beach areas of both resorts and the sunset was beautiful. The icing on the cake at this family beach session was a nice fireworks display presented by Tradewinds Resort in celebration of the holiday. A grande finale that was a pleasant surprise.

Sunset Vistas Treasure Island Florida Family Beach Portraits in Navy and Pink
Posted on June 4, 2015
My clients traveled to Sunset Vistas in Treasure Island Florida for a fun week in the sun. Many of our clients stay at Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites and the location could not be any closer to some of our favorite locations in Treasure Island for beach portraits. Their daughter was simply adorable in her navy and white stripe dress with pink bow and I love how Mom’s attire matches her daughter and Dad’s attire of pale blue and khaki coordinates well without matching exactly. Navy has been a popular color for family sessions this year and I really like it! Stripes also work well at the beach; they make a fun visual element in the photos.

Sunset Portraits at Treasure Island Beach for Tradewinds Island Grand Guests
Posted on May 29, 2015
My clients came to St Pete Beach for a vacation at Tradewinds Island Grand Resort and scheduled a family beach portrait session. After viewing our Portfolio of beach session locations, they decided on a session at Treasure Island Beach. This particular night had amazing diffused natural light and a pretty soft sunset which allowed their outfits of Navy, Nantucket Red and Nautical stripes visually pop from the beach environment. Their son was beyond adorable; a perfect 18 month model!

Sunset in Treasure Island Beach St Pete Florida Family Beach Portraits Wearing Navy and Corals
Posted on May 23, 2015
It is always a huge compliment when a fellow photographer hires you to photograph her family! Cassandra from A Single Image Photography and her family came over to our gulf beaches from Central Florida for a Mother’s Day weekend family beach session in Treasure Island. I really love the colors they chose to wear; they look amazing with that evening’s sunset sky colors!

Bilmar Beach Resort Family Portraits
Posted on May 17, 2015
My clients were spending a week at Bilmar Beach Resort from Canada and found some of my images from a previous Treasure Island family portrait session on Instagram. I usually suggest to clients that we schedule photos early in their vacation, just in case we have rain and need to reschedule. It was an overcast and rainy day for their original portrait session date and we were able to reschedule their session for a beautiful blue sky day!

We found this amazing section of beach with a nice shallow area of water to help create these sunset reflections.
The youngest boy was not a fan of the gulf waters and needed to be held during these family sunset portraits. I convinced him that watching photos and videos of my daughter on my iPhone was entertaining while Scott quickly captured this amazing shot of his parents. We love photographing well past the actual sunset and this image showcases how beautiful the sky can sometimes be 20 minutes past sunset.

Residence Inn by Marriott Treasure Island St Pete Beach Family Portrait Photos
Posted on May 1, 2015
Our clients gathered their extended family for a vacation at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Treasure Island beach for a vacation and we were able to capture them enjoying the gulf waters in Treasure Island. The newest member to this family was adorably outfitted with Pink Toms’s and I could not resist photographing her cuteness! The weather was overcast, but we were able to have some nice light blue clouds with a little bit of pink for some pre-sunset photos. The ever-changing weather patterns make for unique photos every time we photograph portraits at the beach; never the same look twice!

St Pete Florida Beach Senior Portraits at Sunset in Treasure Island
Posted on February 11, 2015
We have been fortunate to photograph some recent High School Portrait Sessions and this session certainly was fun and fashion forward. My client and her family drove from the Orlando area during their vacation from Iowa to have these portraits taken in Treasure Island Beach, just minutes from Saint Petersburg. I am so thankful that they hired us and gave us the opportunity to create these photos.
How much fun are these yellow heels and top paired with her white skinny jeans?! Sometimes we arrive at the beach on a sunny day with clear blue skies and it is fun to shoot some images with sunglasses while the sun is bright.

This coral dress totally compliments my clients great red curls. She brought along the gray hat and it always fun to create a different look!
A perfect pastel sunset to pair with our high school client’s cute southwest miniskirt and tank.
I really like blending natural light with strobed light at our portrait sessions, especially at the beach.

Treasure Island Beach Sunset Summer Family Portraits
Posted on October 23, 2014
The humidity has dropped this month in St Petersburg to perfect fall Florida beach weather. But it is fun to look back at some of our late summer beach portrait sessions. This particular family was staying at Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites and walked out their backdoor to meet us on the beach at our favorite location in Treasure Island. The kids were adorable at this family session, and it is so nice to see an extended family vacationing together.
I am often asked what to wear for beach family portrait sessions. This family selected one of the most popular color combinations for beach portrait sessions; white and tans. These outfits were fitting for this warm August evening. I especially like the belt the mom wore to add visual interest to her cute white dress. I like the popularity of white attire for beach sessions, but don’t forget be afraid of bold accessories to compliment the white fabric so it doesn’t fade into pale sand.
For more family portrait attire inspiration, please visit my Pinterest board What to Wear to your Portrait Photography Session.
These amazing seersucker monogrammed outfits were bought online at Smocked threads by Cecil and Lou, which hosts auctions on their Facebook page of current adorable childrens’ clothes, many of which are perfect for beach sessions.
As expected, my awesome partner Scott Krebs nailed the post-sunset portraits lit using two SaberStrips. These modifiers are perfect for the beach, as they do so well in the breezes which naturally increase around sunset.
How adorable are these proud, involved grandparents?!
And we always allow time for some fun photos; OHIO!
