Ogunquit Maine Family Photos – The Sky Showed Off and So Did This Family
Are you kidding me with that sky? I’ve photographed a lot of sessions along the coast in Ogunquit. The sunsets are usually good. The families are always fun. But every once in a while, mother nature just goes for
On this night, the clouds did something ridiculous. Big, bold stratocumulus magic reflecting in the wet sand, and the sky doing a full gradient from soft gold to cotton candy. I’ve talked before about my obsession with reflections, and this one had me absolutely buzzing.
The sky showed off, and this family of three was the perfect match for it.
We kept things simple. They leaned into the quiet moments, played when the energy hit, and let themselves enjoy the session without overthinking. There was room to move and be silly, but also to pause and breathe it all in.
I love photographing big beach gatherings, but it’s also really nice to slow it down with a smaller group. Just one kid, two parents, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need a lot of direction.
Sometimes everything just lines up—the light, the timing, the people—and you get the kind of session that sticks with you for a while.
You can’t script skies like this, and you don’t need to script your photos either. Just show up, be yourselves, and let the coast (and the clouds) do what they do best.
