Erie Rest Beach is one of my favourite locations for family photos in the summer. The beautiful views and tall grass are a photographer’s dream, and the beach is a hidden spot away from the main section of Port Stanley, which offers us less crowds to navigate around, too!
All of my clients were a dream to work with during last year’s summer minis. Each family made their time in front of the camera seem so completely effortless! And their outfits?! Just perfect!
Here’s a look at some of my favourite moments (and make sure you scroll to the end for details on this year’s minis!):

Pro Tip: The 7-8pm timeframe is when you get the BEST light on a clear evening! So soft and glowy, just before the sun dips behind the trees that line the beach… It’s just perfect!
