Family Session at Las Américas Beach

Family Session at Las Américas Beach

Probably everyone who has been to Tenerife has heard of the town of Las Américas.

It's the largest tourist center located in the south of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands.

It's full of shops, hotels, bars, and nightclubs.

Many people also confuse Las Américas with the neighboring Los Cristianos and San Eugenio.

Generally, for many tourists, including myself at the beginning, this entire coastline - Las Américas, Los Cristianos, San Eugenio, Costa Adeje - was all one and the same ;) The boundaries between these places merge very smoothly, and there are no visible differences.

The beaches stretch along the restaurants, and you don't know when, walking along the promenade, you're changing towns ;)

Las Américas itself is quite large.

In total, you can distinguish several zones in it.

There's the part with light beaches, close to Los Cristianos, for example.

El Camisón (you can find information about a Tenerife couple session here).

Further, we go towards darker, rocky beaches for surfers.

That's exactly where the session I'm showing you today was created.

And even further are more beaches, and the biggest tourist hustle and bustle - Playa de Troya, Playa de El Bobo.

I love such happy little feet on vacation :)

From this part of Las Américas we can observe beautiful sunsets.

It's no wonder this is a good place for a photo session :)

There's also plenty of space on the rocks for playing

In this place also grows typical dry vegetation of the southern zone, which gives an unrepeatable atmosphere

What sweetness <3 Family frames from vacation are a keepsake forever!

We also have a view of the mountains, and exactly those localities I mentioned earlier - San Eugenio, Costa Adeje, Fañabé, Playa Paraiso.

You can really have a pleasant walk along the promenade here.

And if someone gets hungry, you can rest for a while and regain strength ;)

Isn't she adorable? :)

Las Americas Beach Family Photo Session #25

And with character :)

It happens like this too - emotions are different, we don't always feel like smiling - do you give your children permission for this?

I really liked that this family chose exactly this photograph, because it is so authentic.

Not only children, but we all are like this.

We have better and worse days.

That's why in lifestyle sessions there's never forcing a smile.

It should be authentic and emotional.

And when we allow it, then after tears can come good fun.

Just like in life :)

That's right! :)

I like taking you on sessions in such places where the landscape is diverse.

For example, beach, but also garden, or mountains, but also vegetation.

It was the same here.

We had beach, stones, dry landscape, mountains in the background, and still nearby alleys with beautiful vegetation.

You'll admit that thanks to this it's more interesting? :)

And close to the beach, exotic vegetation awaits us, which will also emphasize the vacation character of the photos.

Is Las Américas your location? :)
