This photograph is another image from my trip to Denmark. While the bicycle was taken in the large and historic city of Copenhagen. The image of the boat in the tall grass was taken on a secluded beach on the Isle of Mors which is situated within Jutland but is surrounded with salt water due to an opening on the west coast.

There’s something magical about family beach photos. They capture the sun-kissed smiles, playful moments in white sands, and heartwarming family bonds against a backdrop of azure waters. But how do you shoot these stunning images?

I remember my first attempt – it was far from perfect. Harsh shadows obscured faces, squinting eyes ruined expressions, and don’t get me started on those tan lines! I knew I had to strive for improvement.

Over time, through trial and error (and some embarrassing outfit choices), I learned the art of beach photography. Mastering golden hour light for that dreamy glow in every shot…coordinating outfits for a cohesive look…choosing ideal locations with just enough privacy…

Let’s dive into what it takes to make your family beach photos memorable and appealing.

Basics of Family Beach Photography

Taking family beach photos is a delightful task that blends the beauty of nature with precious familial bonds. But it requires some essential knowledge to get right, from choosing the perfect location to dealing with different lighting conditions and capturing natural moments.

Choosing the Right Beach for Your Family Photo Session

Picking an ideal location can make or break your photo session.

Puerto Rico's beaches are an integral part of life on the island, and by law, they're one of the few places that are truly public. In practice, the sandy stretch of land where the water meets the shore is one of the island's most contested spaces.

Today we're featuring an episode of the podcast La Brega from WNYC Studios and Futuro Studios, a show about Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican experience. On the island, a legal definition dating back to the Spanish colonial period dictates what counts as a beach. But climate change, an influx of new residents and a real estate boom are all threatening legal public access to some of Puerto Rico's most cherished spaces. The debate all comes down to one question: what counts as a beach?

You can listen to the rest of La Brega (in English and Spanish) here. They have two full seasons out, which explore the Puerto Rican experience through history and culture. Check it out.

This episode was reported by Alana Casanova-Burgess and produced by Ezequiel Rodriguez Andino and Joaquin Cotler, with help from Tasha Sandoval. It was edited by Mark Pagan, Marlon Bishop, and Jenny Lawton and engineered by Joe Plourde. The zona maritimo terrestre was sung as a bolero by Los Rivera Destino.
