Jan Juc sunrise adventures

I know for most people if they think of having professional family photos at the beaches in Torquay & Jan Juc, they are probably not considering the option a shoot at sunrise in the middle of winter. But the longer I live in Torquay, the more I have fallen in love with cool winter mornings on the beach.

This beautiful little family session took place in early July - renowned in Victoria as one of the most cold & miserable months of the year - but , if you can be:

• flexible with dates - always handy if we can swap days at the last minute if the weather turns truly awful

• love the idea of getting rugged up and having lots of cosy/cuddly quality time with your fam

You will be rewarded with:

• quieter locations - our beaches during the summer months are often full of tourists (even at sunrise) but over the winter months it’s often just us & the dog walkers)

• the chance of some pure MAGICAL mornings - I’m not pretending we don’t have our fair share of wild weather, but some of the best sunrises & conditions i’ve seen here in Jan Juc have been during the winter months

• Kid friendly start times (!!) - during the height of summer, if you want to catch the sunrise over the ocean in Torquay / Jan Juc, you need to be on the beach by 6am (😅) - in winter, you’ll be looking at starting much closer to 7/7:30am but still getting the best golden hour light!

Obviously I wouldn’t dream of asking you to take my word from it, you’re much better off having a quick scroll through this recent winter sunrise family photography session so you can see for your very own eyes just how wonderful they can be!!
