The Experience
01. the details
Once you have officially reserved your date, we will go over the session in further detail. What you are hoping to capture in your photos…what is your main focus of the session? Grandparents playing with the kids? Are you big kids going off to college? Is your little one playing in the sand for the first time? Or just the love that you and your family share?
I have specialized in family portraits on the beach for over ten years. I aim to capture the moments, activities, and locations most meaningful to you. We have some of the most beautiful beaches, and I am always happy to recommend a location if you don’t have one in mind.
02. the wardrobe
Not sure what to wear? Don’t stress!
Before the session, you will receive access to my What to Wear Guide. I will cover all the do’s and don’ts of what to wear. I will help you choose the best outfits that will complement your images. And if you are ever in doubt I am more than happy to help.
I know the work that goes into planning a vacation, and I’ve put a lot of thought into making this experience as effortless and stress-free as possible for my clients.
03. the session
Your session will be fun. We will stroll the beach as the sun sets, splash in the water and play in the sand. Be prepared to get sandy, you are at the beach after all. And don’t be surprised if I ask you to walk in the waves and have a splash fight. I will always capture a few traditional poses of everyone looking, and then move on to capture the real moments – your connection with one another and your time together in this moment. There’s no need to worry if the kids don’t want to look at the camera and smile, we will play games to get those giggles to come out. I have a few tricks that work wonders for even the biggest grumpy pants.
I want to give you one-of-a-kind images that represent who you are as a family that you’ll be proud to be display in your home. We’ll bottle up your special vacation moments in a set of images to ensure that you’ll be taking home more than just memories from your vacation – tangible photographs that will be treasured for generations to come.
04. the images
Once your session is finished, you will receive a gallery of your edited images delivered to you within two weeks.
You will have full access to download the final images. Additional digital images, heirloom albums, and/or framed wall art are available to purchase separately from your gallery store.
05. the local secrets
If you are new to the area, you’re in for a treat. Booking a session with me isn’t just all about the images! After vacationing for years, before we moved here permanently, we found our favorites. From dining, recreational activities, fishing guides & sunset dolphin tours to our favorite spots for shelling and the local hidden gems.
I love everything our area has offers, and I want nothing more than to share it with you. That means every client has full access to an exclusive local area guide that I’ve put together to make your vacation even better!
