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.

If you’re planning to trip to Destin, we hope you’ll get in touch with us to schedule beach photos for your family! Click here to see pricing and get on our schedule. If you’re visiting a different beach community, see this page for a list of all of the beaches where you can find us!

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!

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.

The Humphreys Family – Seaside Florida Photographers

We met the Humphreys family about 4 years ago when a group of our photographers got together for a team meeting in Seaside Florida.

When you get a group of photographers together, it almost always ends with a photo shoot! Rather than taking pictures of each other, we decided to approach a family on the beach and ask them if they’d mind having a whole bunch of cameras pointing at them! The Humphreys family just happened to be on the beach that evening and they were up for the challenge! Since then, they have booked a family session with our Seaside Florida photographers every year!

If you’re visiting Seaside or any of the other communities along 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, we’d love to get you on our schedule too. Here’s the information on booking your appointment on 30A. If you’re visiting a different beach community, see our home page, then click on the location you’ll be visiting.

The Fields Family – Gulf Shores Photography

The Fields family just had their fifth Gulf Shores photography session with us! So this year, they wanted to change things up and do something a little different. Co-Owner / photographer April took them to one of her “top secret” locations with more trees and grass than you would normally find along the beach in Gulf Shores. Looking at these pictures sort of gives us some Outer Banks, North Carolina vibes (which happens to be one of our new locations for this summer…more details coming soon!)

We always love seeing our regular clients and greatly appreciate them coming back year after year! If you’d like to start a family tradition of having beach pictures every summer, just visit the main page of our website, then choose your vacation destination.

Sanibel Florida Family Photography

The Burnett family spent their spring break at a beautiful beach house in Southwest Florida. Here are a few pictures from their Sanibel Florida family photography session.

If you have plans to visit the Southwest Florida beaches of Sanibel, Captiva, or Fort Myers Beach, please see this page for information on scheduling your sunrise or sunset family photography appointment with us! If your vacation plans include a visit to a different beach community, just head over to our home page and choose your vacation destination. We have photographers available all along the coast in Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina!

Multi-Family Beach Photography – Gulf Shores Photographer

Here’s a question we get asked a lot: “If I schedule a multi-family beach photography session, will each family get their own pictures?”. The answer is YES!

We’ll take pictures of each individual family, the whole group together, couples, kids, and anything else you want! Our photographers are experts at maximizing the time they spend with you so you get lots of variety!

What To Wear For Beach Photos

When it comes to what to wear for beach photos, there really are no rules! We loved how this family chose to dress for their Gulf Shores photography session!

We worked with the Gray family a couple of years ago. The first time, they went with the more typical “dressed up” look. This time, they chose a more simple look by just having fun as a family playing on the beach!

At Shore Shooters, there is no dress code for our beach photos. Wear whatever best shows your family’s personality! If you need suggestions or ideas, feel free to contact us any time. You can also get ideas by visiting our Pinterest page. For information on scheduling a session with us, please visit our home page, then choose your vacation destination. We look forward to meeting you and seeing how you choose to dress for your beach pictures!

Beach Photos On Sanibel Island

When Shannon scheduled her appointment with us last November while visiting Fort Myers Beach, she asked for our recommendation on the best place to get a family Christmas card photo. After discussing the options with our Fort Myers Beach / Sanibel area photographer, they decided to take Shannon’s family’s beach photos on Sanibel Island.

Gulf Shores Family Reunion Photography

Several generations of this family gathered together to spend the holidays at a beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama. While they were all together, they contacted us for their Gulf Shores family reunion photography.

Family Pictures In Rosemary Beach

This was the Anderson family’s second year to schedule with us for family pictures in Rosemary Beach. This year, they asked for a combination of pictures on the beach and in the adorable little town.

Miramar Beach Family Photography

This Miramar Beach family photography session has a lot to make you smile! Puppies, a baby, and lots of family fun on the beach! If you’re planning a vacation to the beautiful beaches of South Walton, we’re ready to add you to our schedule.

Fall Family Beach Portraits

This family was one of many to come to Pensacola Beach to schedule fall family beach portraits with us. Book your Pensacola Beach photography session with us.

Longboat Key Family Photography

This family scheduled a Longboat Key family photography session while they were visiting Florida for Fall break. The main objective was to get a Christmas card photo, but this photogenic family got a lot more! The kids were having a great time playing along the shore, which resulted in lots of really fun candid shots!
