A Yacht and Beachside Family Photo Shoot | New Buffalo, Michigan

We drove down the coast as the sun dipped lower and lower towards the horizon. “This light is going to be PERFECT,” we thought as we pulled into New Buffalo for our next family shoot. Even though Josh has been in Michigan for almost 6 years, he is still learning about all of the towns near us; and New Buffalo (along with the amazing family we were about to meet) did not disappoint!

Meet the Oberman Family! This awesome crew has been living on this side of the lake since COVID 19 happened and have been spending time getting their house to looking EXACTLY how they want it! When Kim first contacted us and asked about beach and boat photos, we knew that this shoot would be right up our alley, and we are SO thankful we were able to make it happen!

Let’s get real for a minute; photoshoots and guys normally do not mix well. Back before he learned photography, Josh had no real interest in being in photos, or taking photos…or being anywhere near a camera. It’s genuinely hard if you aren’t used to being in front of a camera, but Nick and his three boys were SUCH troopers when it came to their photoshoot! (Smiling for 90 minutes: not the easiest thing to do!)

We’ve noticed recently that many of our clients ask about dogs and if it is “ok” for their dogs to be in some photos! Well, for the Oberman Family, Roxy is a part of the family, so of COURSE she could be in some of the photos! We normally encourage our families to add their more “furry” members in a little bit later into the shoot, unless they’d like a potential “paw print pattern” on their outfits.
