I love the beach in winter. It is truly an overlooked location for fantastic photographs. I can’t tell you how many people have said, “We’d love the beach, but well, should we wait until summer?” My answer: “NO!” And here is why:
-It is not uncommon to have the beach to ourselves on a weeknight in February. Perfect!
-The sun goes down earlier, which means the photo shoot at the optimum light (1 hour or so before sunset) can take place before kids hit the “bewitching hour” of dinner-time.
-The lighting is often diffused by fog and wonderfully overcast skies; a photographer’s friend.
-You can wear fun, cozy clothes and still dip your toes.
-Because the beach is always wonderful 
Here is a sample of a session at the beach in late January. Does that look wonderful or what?
