We have over 12 years of experience, combined, shooting family photos at the beach. Yes, we have seen it all! You can be confident that we will work with your family to get the best shots possible. We have mastered unique methods for working with children and creating the best possible organized fun that results in art.
WE Believe in doing more than just showing up and taking your photos...
Each year I try to streamline the booking process to make it easier to reserve your session. An online calendar would be great but it is way too impersonal a method to book family photos. Each family has different needs and it is much more beneficial for everyone to gather the details on your photo session and send out a booking proposal to save your date.
We know there are several options here are a few reasons to consider us!
Get Scheduled
Prep for Your Shoot
We have your shoot info and start sending out reminders and tips the week before your photo session. The emails are filled with helpful info and tips that will make your beach photo session a success.
I'll send you "all-the-things" for Photo session - location, Kid preparation hacks , you name it!
the Big Day
One of us will meet you on photo day at the location specified in your booking proposal. Please check out the location before hand or put it into your GPS so you will not miss 1 minute of your session. I typically ask clients to arrive 10 minutes early incase someone needs a bathroom break or last minute touch up on makeup.
the day has arrived and it's time to get those amazing photos you've been dreaming of!
Sneak Peak
If you choose the Sneak Peak option you photographer will post a sneak peak within a week of your photo session. Just a few of our favorites so you can see how well they turned out.
After the sneak peak your photos go into the editing que for final edits. This process can take up to a mont in the summer months. IT'LL BE WORTH THE WAIT!
I know you are dying to see how things tured out. We got you covered with a sneak peak
Gallery Delivery
We will email you a gallery link that you can use to download all your happy photos. The images are yours and will come with a print release. You may also share the photos with family members and friends.
You can print your photos wherever you would like. No more high markup print prices.
I KNOW YOU ARE DYING TO SEE your final gallery with all THOSE Beautiful Photos

The Whole Gang
Only Due to weather. Once we get your session retainer that spot is held for you. Our schedules are set and we have to turn away anyone else that wants that spot. If you are unable to make it to your appointment we can try to fill it but it is not guaranteed. If the weather is to bad during your vacation your session retainer will be refunded. We will make every effort to get your photo session.
All the photos in your gallery will have basic edits. We will whiten teeth if needed and brighten eyes. Your Photos are also white balanced and background enhanced to balance the photograph and give them some extra color and depth.
We offer a sneak peak or preview (on request) the week after photo session so you can see what they are going to look like before you go home. We will give you a good estimate of photo delivery time frame on photo day. During the summer months, it may take up to 5 weeks to get your edited images.
Yes! We will keep your photos for 6 months. During this time you can decide if there is one or more that are very important to you. If there is going to be a big canvas above your fireplace, you may want to have more edits. This is no problem. There is a $20 per photo charge for this service. The available extra edits are:
remove extra items in the background (people, signs, trash cans, litter, etc) remove stray hairs, acne removed, crows feet, laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, slimming, smooth skin
All of these are included in your $20 payment per photo.
Our primary Photo location is the Gulf State Parks Beach Pavilion. If you choose to have your photographer meet you at your beach house there is a $50 (OCT-May) and $100 (JUN-AUG) travel fee. No fee for sunrise in Gulf shores or Orange Beach. (Fort Morgan Annex, and Perdido Key requires travel fee).
Tips are very much appreciated, but not expected. Your photos are prepaid, but if you feel that your photographer did an exceptional job please let them know. Yes, you are certainly welcome to tip!
We Love Dogs!
Unfortunately the State Park and all other beaches Forbid pets on the beach. The police, state park and lifeguards will spot you and possibly give a ticket. Your service dogs are welcome. Some private beach houses have different rules which do not apply.
Sorry, we don't make the rules but are required to follow them.
