The Sacco family are regular visitors to Turks & Caicos (though this was the first time I had had the pleasure of shooting a family portrait session with them).

They were staying at Ocean Club East, on Grace Bay, Providenciales – we began the session about an hour before sunset, and as I usually do if the sun is bright I started with some photos in the garden area of the resort. Heading straight to the beach at that time can be hard on the eyes and everyone gets hot quickly!

Once the sun had dipped a bit lower of course we headed for the beach. 🙂

First of all here’s a slideshow movie of some of my favourite images – or scroll down if you prefer to look at stills!

Here’s the whole family in the gardens at Ocean Club:

Then we used an area of sea-grass near the Cabana Bar. For this one I spread everybody out a little for a variation on the usual “close family group” shot.
