The majority of the Beach Portraits that I shoot here on Anna Maria Island are shot around sunset. Most people think that sunset is THE time to take pictures. Which, they are correct. Sunset here in paradise is amazing. The sky glows all the colors of the rainbow in different shades and values. The pictures always turn out amazing. The one thing that seems to be a secret is the morning sun and it’s beauty to use as your back drop for your beach portrait. The water reflects the sun and turns it into this incredible blue that sometimes even matches the sky. It looks like the most beautiful Indian tourqouise you could imagine. It is amazing. This great family from the midwest took the morning sun and had a blast.

They were staying in Bradenton Beach in a beautiful home through Anna Maria Island Accommodations as they always do and enjoyed the shops of Bridge Street, the Beach House Restaurant and the beautiful beaches that our island has to offer. It was great to meet them and hope to see them again. To see more great Beach Portraits taken on Anna Maria Island, take a look at MemoriesbyBilli.com. Have a wonderful Fall.
