Oh my goodness I am SO excited to share these sweet beach newborn photos with you! Palmer, the absolute cutest little one, was about 3 or 4 months old when I visited my dear photographer friend in Charleston on Folly Beach, and we knew we had to capture these precious moments at the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect—soft ocean breezes and the most magical sunset that made everything glow. I seriously couldn’t love this gallery more, and I’m beyond grateful I got to photograph such a beautiful family in one of my favorite places!

Choosing a Setting That Feels Authentic to You

What I love most about newborn and baby sessions is that they can happen anywhere that feels meaningful to you! For Palmer’s session, the beach was a no-brainer because it holds a special place in their hearts, and we had an absolute blast capturing these memories right by the ocean. Whether it’s at home, in a park, or your favorite beach, we can make your session uniquely you! It’s all about documenting your little one in a way that tells your story—and if that means sand between your toes and a stunning sunset backdrop, I’m all for it!

Documenting Beach Newborn Photos to Look Back On

We started with Heather and Patrick wearing classic jeans—simple, laid-back, and perfect for those beach vibes. Then they switched into some cozy, comfy clothes, which is always such a great look for beach sessions! And Palmer’s checkered onesie? Absolutely to DIE for! It was the perfect mix of sweet and playful, and I loved how everything felt so natural and relaxed. Being able to capture these intimate, candid moments means the world to me, and I know they’ll treasure these memories for a lifetime. I can already imagine Palmer looking back at these photos when he’s older, seeing the love that surrounds him in every shot!
