A Dream Repeat Client Session at 85th Street | The Wido Family

An evening at the 85th Street Dunes in Virginia Beach made the perfect backdrop for this relaxed family session. With soft ocean light, rolling dunes, and plenty of space for movement, this repeat family of four that has become so special to me enjoyed genuine moments together; laughing, exploring, and simply being present. These sessions are all about capturing connection in a natural, timeless way, and the dunes never disappoint.
