I LOVE the beach so I was excited to shoot Whitney at Galveston Island. Since Galveston is only about an hour south of Houston, it’s a great place to get a different vibe for your photos without traveling far.

It was pretty chilly on this February day but Whitney still rocked it! Who said you can only take beach photos in the summer? Taking photos during the off season has the advantage of being less crowded. The parking lot was empty and we had our whole section of the beach to ourselves!

Due to scheduling, we shot this session pretty close to high noon. From a photography standpoint, this can be challenging. Generally, I only like to shoot during golden hour (the hour right after sunrise or the hour right before sunset) because this is when lighting is best. It’s soft, glowy, and all around dreamy. When the sun is higher in the sky, the lighting can be really harsh, bright, and cast unflattering shadows. But despite all of these challenges, we made it work and got some GORGEOUS images.

I had SO many favorites from this session! Hope you enjoy!
