The photos on our picture frames at home do not have our little one yet. I wanted to update them and did a DIY photoshoot recently. It was a task I wanted to complete while we were on our annual vacation last month. I suggested a beach theme and my family happily obliged.
Al Khan Beach Sharjah
The closest beach to us is Al Khan Beach in Sharjah. We used to frequent this beach in the summer. But since the pandemic, my pregnancy, and, Bela's birth, we barely went to this beach or to any beaches for that matter. We were surprised to see that Al Khan Beach had a makeover. This beach is a 600-meter strip of white sand. There are plenty of things to do here than just swimming. You can ride on a banana boat or play volleyball, and kids can play on a playground with multiple slides. There are toilets, shower rooms, changing rooms, and food shacks. The surf school here offers kayaking, parasailing, surfing, and flyboarding.
This beach is one of the places to visit in Sharjah if you like to enjoy some time in the sun and get close to nature with your friends or family.
Beach Family Photo
We were at Al Khan Beach a couple of hours before sunset. It was the golden hour and the low tide adds drama to our photos. I was surprised but glad that it was not chilly that day. Perfect weather for the photoshoot outfits we're wearing. Here are some of my favorite shots.
Photos were taken using iPhone 12 Pro Max and some are edited in Light Room by my daughter. This is a do-it-yourself photo shoot. I was happy with the result. I had them printed in a photo studio and replaced the old photos on our picture frames. Task done.
