Panama City Beach Proposal – PCB Photographers

Debbie, aka “Ama” to her grandchildren, booked this session for her son Ryan, his kids, and Ryan’s girlfriend Casey during their vacation to Florida’s Emerald Coast. But Casey had no idea that it was going to turn into a Panama City Beach proposal! We loved the special touch of having the kids hold the “Will you marry us?” signs.

Family Photography In Santa Rosa Beach Florida

Tara contacted us for family photography in Santa Rosa Beach Florida to capture a multi-generation vacation to the beach in January.

We’ll photograph the whole group together, each individual family, grandparents with grandkids, couples, and any other shot you may want. We do not limit the number of photos you’ll receive.

Road Tripping And Hotel Hopping – Sandestin Photography

Drish and her husband Rajan are road tripping and hotel hopping all over the country! They recently booked a Sandestin photography session with us during their stop along Florida’s Emerald Coast.

Although the weather was a bit chilly by Florida standards, they made the best of their sunset session with photographer Jaylee and had a great time! You can follow their journey across the country on Instagram at @journeywithdrish.

Location: Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa

Outer Banks Photography At Sunrise

If you are alive and breathing, you have probably watched or at least heard of the Netflix show, The Outer Banks. As a team,  we had visited this stretch of Islands off the coast of North Carolina a few years back but we hadn’t really explored it seriously as a Shore Shooters market until my kid kept mentioning it. My husband and I reluctantly caved and watched the show that our kids kept going on and on about. We admittedly became taken with the scenery and laid back lifestyle portrayed in the show pretty quickly. We obviously weren’t the only ones since it was ranked as the most binged show last year.

So we began planning our trip. We found a cute little airbnb to call home for a few days and we spent most mornings on the beach. I have to say, growing up on the Gulf Coast, I didn’t expect to be blown away by a beach but, I WAS! The Outer Banks is wild and untouched. The weather is milder and the beaches are just…different. We absolutely loved our time there!

Of course I drug my daughter and her boyfriend out for a sunrise session. Sunrises are the best there. I’d never really photographed them this way, but I needed models and they are cute as heck! I’m so glad we did this little session because I saw how sweet they are together as a couple. When you have teenagers you know they will have relationships and God forbid, heartache, so you pray. You just pray that someone will come along and treat your little girl with respect, make them laugh, and look out for them. James is all of that and more for Brianna. We are thankful for him and we are thankful for the Outer Banks.

We are already planning our trip for this summer. What about you guys? Don’t forget to book with our team when you are there.

Fall Vacation On 30A – Santa Rosa Beach Photography

In our opinion, fall is the best time to take a beach vacation! The temperatures are cooling down, but it’s still warm enough to get in the water. It’s also less crowded at the beaches and in the restaurants, which means you don’t have to wait to get a table at your favorite local seafood place. And of course, our photographers are still on the beach at sunrise and sunset!

Lauren and her family chose to take a fall vacation on 30A. Here are a few pictures from their Santa Rosa Beach photography session. To book your family photos in the 30A / Santa Rosa Beach area, please visit this page. If you’re visiting a different beach, check our home page to see if we have photographers in the area you’ll be visiting.

Orange Beach Family Photos

Orange Beach family photos are so much more than setting aside a day in your trip to get dressed up and smile for an hour. Each time you schedule a session, you’re choosing to hold on to these moments forever, especially when you have little ones.

Time is not on our side, which is why we believe it is so important to capture the moments that mean the most with the ones that mean the most! Yearly family photos on the beach may seem a bit redundant, but with each passing day our little ones are growing right before our eyes. Don’t let the moments pass without commemorating each milestone.

We might be a little biased, but we think your trip to Orange Beach is the perfect destination for your annual family photography session!

To book your Orange Beach family photos, please visit this link. If you’re traveling to another beach town, head over to our home page to see if we have photographers on the beach you’ll be visiting.

Baby’s First Beach Trip – Santa Rosa Beach Photographers

What better way to celebrate a new family member than with a trip to the Gulf Coast and a beach photography session with one of our 30A / Santa Rosa Beach Photographers!

Sweet new babies always tend to steal the show, and we don’t think anyone minds one bit.

Booking a session for your baby’s first beach trip with the whole family makes for the best memories!

Visit this page for info on scheduling your sunrise or sunset beach photography appointment with one of our Santa Rosa Beach photographers. If you’re traveling to a different beach town, check out our home page to see all of our other locations.

Sandy + Salty – Destin Family Photography

Thinking of ditching the collared shirts and sundresses, but not sure if you can fully commit?

Well, here’s a little Destin family photography inspiration for you! We love when our clients switch things up and get a bit more playful with their wardrobes.

Tossing on your suits and loading up your beach toys makes for a much more relaxed and joyful (and lets not forget, memorable) family photography session!

We were very excited to hear how much our client loved her “sandy + salty” Destin family photography session. Here’s the email she sent to us when she received her finished gallery:

“Holy goodness gracious!!!!!!  I could not have been happier with the customer service from every single person I interacted with.  From booking the session to immediate responses to every email answering all my questions and putting every tiny worry to rest, this was by far the easiest photo session I have ever booked.  

And LAURA!  LAURA!  I mean my entire family was full on ANGRY about having to take family pictures during their beach vacation and I heard about how horrible I was including on the walk to the beach to have the pictures taken.  I agreed they did not have to get ready, fix hair, wear matching outfits, nothing…..easy breezy beautiful!  But from the moment we met Laura she really did make it all easy breezy and the pictures couldn’t be more beautiful.  We all had so much fun, the kids didn’t even want it to end, I had to actually tell her she could leave anytime because they kept finding more stuff to do for her to take pictures of.  She was full of ideas and fun.  We all love the pictures and they are going to make the best Christmas presents.

Thank you so much for capturing the essence of us, the love and fun we have for each other and the beach.”

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tori! If you’re ready to book your Destin family photography session, please go to this page. If you’re headed to a different beach town, check out our home page to see all of the locations where we work.

Orange Beach Family / Maternity Photography

What better way to capture your pregnancy than with a maternity photography session that includes the whole family!

With the white sand of Orange Beach surrounding and a golden sunset radiating around you, it’s the perfect combination to commemorate the newest addition to your family with the ones you love most.

We’re all about capturing your family at every stage!

Furry Family Photos in Myrtle Beach

Ever wondered what could possibly make an already perfect setting for family photos on the beautiful beach in Myrtle Beach that much better? Yea, us too.. until our clients started bringing their fur babies!

It’s a question we often get on whether you’re allowed to bring your pet to your session, and we would love nothing more then to snap some photos of your furry family member!

It mixes things up and makes for such great memories! (Be sure to ask your photographer for their suggestions on dog friendly beach locations.)

Check out these furry family photos in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. If you’re planning a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, visit this page for information on scheduling your session with one of our photographers. If you’re visiting a different beach, head over to our home page to see if we have photographers where you’ll be vacationing.

Destin FL Photography

The McCall family booked a Destin FL photography session for their family of 4 plus their 2 nephews. As a bonus, our Destin photographer Brianna also took a few pictures of their oldest daughter Layla in her cap and gown to celebrate her graduation.

Surprise Proposal In Panama City Beach

Hayden’s mom contacted us to schedule this surprise proposal in Panama City Beach, Florida for Hayden and his girlfriend Savannah.

She told Savannah that she had gotten them a beach photography session for her birthday. She had no idea that Hayden was planning to propose toward the end of the shoot!

Our photographers love being a part of these special moments and will carefully work with you to make it perfect! If you’re planning to propose in Panama City Beach, or if you’re looking for a family photography session, click over to this page for pricing and to schedule. Visiting another beach town? Here’s a list of all of our locations.

St. Augustine Beach Photographer

Finally! We have been talking about moving into the St. Augustine market for several years and things finally lined up. Halle, our St. Augustine Beach photographer, found out about us though other photographers in the Florida Panhandle right before she moved to St. Augustine. How perfect is that?

We’re so happy that the Holtzclaws were one of the first families to book with us in St. Augustine Beach! It looked like Halle was having a blast chasing the kids around and capturing them being their true selves. It’s obvious that she’s a perfect fit for our team and we love the photos that came from this session!

Gulf Shores Sunrise Photography

There aren’t many things that would get us to wake up before the dawn while on vacation. Gulf Shores sunrises are at the top of that (very short) list!

There’s just something about getting to the beach before the hustle and bustle of the day. Before the white sands are painted over by beach towels and striped umbrellas. There aren’t many times you get the beach all to yourself, and choosing a sunrise session is a way to experience just that.

The subtle pastel skies and golden Gulf Shores sun; it’s hard to beat a background like that!

What To Wear For a Small Family Beach Photography Session

Deciding what to wear for a small family beach photography session and getting coordinating outfits together doesn’t have to be as stressful as you may think. We at Shore Shooters Beach Photography believe “the simpler, the better”! If your colors and prints are too bright and bold, it can be distracting to the eye. Keeping your looks more towards the neutral side and the prints on the smaller side, makes you the center of attention– not your wardrobe!

Plus, it’s best not to try and compete with these Gulf Shores beaches, right?!

The Leppert family went about this perfectly! Mom and dad sporting muted tones, while baby boy brought the whole look together with his subtly printed overalls.

We hope this helps you out and we can’t wait to see what looks you put together for your family beach photography session!

Hylie’s 2021 Gulf Shores Senior Portraits

Senior portrait sessions are a favorite of ours to shoot! Not to mention one with a perfect Gulf Shores sunrise. Luckily, Hylie and her family shared that same exact thought when they scheduled with us for Hylie’s 2021 Gulf Shores Senior Portraits

.
They were met by one of our incredible photographers, Jaylee, and set out for some golden sun soaked photos.


Hylie is actually a 2021 senior, and we think getting those portraits done during your family beach vacation is the perfect idea. Especially somewhere that’s sentimental, which in this case for Hylie was the beautiful Gulf Shores. We loved that she showed her school pride and even brought her cheerleading uniform!

Senior portraits are meant to showcase your personal style and personality, and we think the beautiful beach of Gulf Shores is the perfect place to do just that!

What To Wear? – Beach Photos In Gulf Shores

Do you have to get “dressed up” for beach photos? NO! This family chose to wear their swimsuits and we loved the way their pictures turned out!

There’s really no dress code for beach pictures. What to wear is up to you! If you want to dress up, that’s fine with us. But if you choose the more casual route, that’s fine too!

Check out more of their photos below. If you’re ready to book your beach photos in Gulf Shores, please visit this page to see pricing and to get on our calendar. Visiting a different beach? Check out our home page to see if we have photographers in the area you’ll be visiting.
