Creating magical moments on your vacation Port Aransas family photographer

Take your vacations to the NEXT LEVEL.

Shelia Louise Photography, Port Aransas photographer, is here to help families who value connecting with their families through summer vacations. Most families are reserving their summer vacations (and portrait photographers) NOW, so we wanted to share these 3 special ways to deeply connect with your family while on vacation.

1. When taking the leisurely sunset stroll, grab a hand and intiate meaningful conversations, sharing fun stories, favorite memories from past vacations and big dreams.

2. Plan interactive activities such as soccor games on the beach, boating-tubing, card games tournaments, picnic by the lake, nature walk, karaoke night, escape rooms, obstacle courses, dance-offs, and sing-alongs around the bonfire. These are the activities that will make lasting memories! Laughter is so good.

3. Carve out slower, quieter moments for relaxation and reflection together, such as, savoring every sunrise over a shared breakfast, cooking a meal together, watercoloring while laying on a blanket together, chess on the back porch, a puzzle on the coffee table, hammocking together or a family read aloud all create beautiful deep connections.

3 easy ways to memorialize time spent together as a family on vacation


1. Create a digital or physical vacation scrapbook filled with photos, ticket stubs, and notes from each family member.

2. Purchase a souvenir, frame a favorite family portrait or create a photo album that symbolizes the vacation experience and display it where everyone can see it.

3. Start a tradition of writing post-vacation letters to each other, make sure to write your favorite things about the trip and express gratitude for the time spent together as a family as you share the letters with each other when you get home.
