Long Island Beach Photos/Dancer Photo Shoot

Long Island Beach Photos/Dancer Photo Shoot

I absolutely loved taking these beach photos of Gabby in Long Beach, Long Island this summer.  We planned for this photo shoot to take place later in the day as close to sunset as possible in hopes that we may capture some of the sunset in the photos.  You are never guaranteed to get a sunset on any given day, but it certainly helps to plan the shoot about 1 hour before so that you have a better chance of getting one.  Obviously you won’t be able to capture the sunset in your pictures if you plan your shoot mid-day.   Well needless to say the weather was crazy that day.  It rained in the morning and there were lots of dark clouds in the earlier part of the day.  No rain was in the forecast so I knew that the shoot would not need to get postponed.  I was however pretty bummed that we probably would not get a sunset.  But clouds don’t stop me from shooting or make me reschedule a session.  Clouds can provide beautiful soft diffused light, which makes for some great photos, especially taken on the beach.

I met with Gabby a bit earlier and  then the sun came out so I decided to wait awhile since the sun was too harsh and would not provide the best lighting.  Not only that but the beach was a bit crowded.  Talk about crazy weather!

We waited awhile and soon enough more and more people started to leave and the sun began to fall so we began to shoot.  We started on the boardwalk in Long Beach.

We then proceeded to take some photos along the shore.  The sky was starting to turn colors and I knew that we were going to be in for some really amazing shots.  But first before we did that I had to get this………..

These were all shot using natural light.  But the sun was quickly starting to set so  I set up my flash so that I could capture these rich deep colors……..

Two different looks and both equally amazing.  :o)

Would you like to have a photoshoot on the beach?  Are you engaged, pregnant, or looking to have family, dance, fitness or boudoir photos taken?  The beach is always a great place to have these pictures taken.  Although summer is nearly over there is still some time left this year before it starts to get too cold.  Then you may just have to wait until next year.  You can contact me here to book your Long Island Beach Photos session.
