If you ever needed proof of the benefits of a establishing a relationship with a photographer, check out these results from this late summer beach session with Miss Sydney.  I’ve been photographing Sydney since she was a newborn.  This session at Ferry Beach in Scarborough, Maine was our sixth shoot together!  Sydney’s parents and I hustled up and down the beach that afternoon, trying desperately to catch her and the last rays of sunlight.  Looking at these images now (in December) it seems like a we maybe we should all spend some time in the waning summer sunshine with our cameras trained on our kids.  Because it’s such a fleeting moment — both summer and childhood.
