This past Sunday was yet another scorching summer day but that didn't stop Heather and her family from joining for a portrait session down at the Marina. We decided to walk around the outer portion of the Marina which is usually a little bit more quiet, and plus there are always small pockets of shade here and there to stop and do photos.

Right off that bat, I could tell Zoe, their daughter, was going to be a blast to photograph. She was very well behaved and actually posed on cue most of the time, yet still making me work for it a bit. Plus, there were a ton of candid moments throughout the session. Everyone was so natural and they just rolled with the punches. I always try to keep every one of my portrait sessions relaxed, and this one was no different.

The hour went by so fast and I still can't believe how many great photos I came away with. It helped that Heather and her family were so easy to photograph.
