Acromatico photographed the Sklar family's portrait session on the beach at Bal Harbour, Florida — a longtime returning family the studio has worked with since their wedding, through two maternity sessions and newborn photos for their children Michael and Chloe.
This Bal Harbour beach session is the latest chapter in a long relationship between Acromatico and the Sklar family. Over the years the studio has photographed their wedding, both of their maternity sessions, and newborn photos — and now their children, Michael and Chloe, who the studio notes are growing up fast.
For Acromatico, the Sklars are more than clients; over the course of these sessions they've become friends. This portrait session captured the whole family together on the sand at Bal Harbour beach.
“More than clients, you've become friends to us.”
Good to know
Bal Harbour is a small oceanfront village in Miami-Dade County, Florida, sitting at the northern tip of Miami Beach between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, just south of Haulover Inlet and Surfside. Its quiet, upscale stretch of shoreline makes it a calmer alternative to the busier sands of South Beach, which is part of why it works well for family sessions with young children.
For beach portraits in this part of South Florida, the soft light of early morning or the hour before sunset is generally the most flattering and the most comfortable for kids, avoiding the harsh midday sun. Acromatico, a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004 and working across South Florida and New York City, brings its dark fine-art aesthetic to sessions like this one along the Bal Harbour coast.
