I was truly blown away

Having a large family can make just the thought of family photos an overwhelming challenge. Our entire session with Caryn was so smooth and easy, it honestly felt like an enjoyable hour, just hanging out at the beach! I shared a few inspirational photos with her prior, I was truly blown away by what we received. The photos were so much better than the ideas I had shared! The minimal posing was quick and to the point, she asks all of the right questions and knows exactly what she is doing. Her knowledge and experience show in her work and the ease of the entire experience. My kids were laughing and enjoying themselves throughout our time together, definitely something we have not experienced with other photographers. She delivered photographs but really captured the moments and the feelings, I will truly cherish these memories forever. I will, without a doubt, trust Caryn with any of our photography needs in the future. I am already looking forward to our next session together!
