Morgan Wallen’s “Sand In My Boots” Festival replacing Hangout Fest

What do you think about Morgan Wallen’s “Sand In My Boots” Festival replacing Hangout Fest?

If you’re on the fence about going to the festival, let’s talk about the pros and cons 👇🏼

Sand In My Boots Festival Gulf Shores Alabama Morgan Wallen Music Festival

First of all, I think we can all agree that Country music is definitely having its moment! We kind of think you might as well embrace it and let’s face it, this lineup is actually good.  Plus, it’s more than just Country!  The lineup features plenty of “non-Country” artists.

If you’re not a Country music fan and you are thinking about sitting this one out, maybe we can help sway you.

Here’s what we would do if we were coming in town for this festival.

Gulf Shores Alabama Music Festival Morgan Wallen Hangout Music Fest

Gulf Shores is a small beach town on an island along the Gulf Coast of Alabama just a few minutes west of the Florida state line. Some people don’t even know about it! We think that’s part of it’s charm 😉

1. Start your morning at foam coffee! It’s hands down the best coffee on the island. The shop has the cutest vibes. They are usually located inside the festival as well but you don’t want to miss their super instagramable shop!

2. Grab a breakfast biscuit or donuts at Parlor Doughnuts. This place may be a chain but it’s worth the hype!

3. This may sound crazy, but try and squeeze in a Sunrise walk on the beach. It’s totally worth it!

Most importantly, if you are planning to attend the Sand In My Boots Festival in May, we hope you’ll book a beach photo session with us while you’re here, and we hope you enjoy your time on the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama!

Fall Beach Photography In Gulf Shores

Fall beach photography in Gulf Shores with the Guffey family. We were so happy to see this family for the second year in a row. When they visited us in October of 2022, Megan was pregnant with Daisy. This year, Daisy was a part of the family’s beach photos along with mom, dad, and her 5 siblings.

Fun Beach Photos – Fort Morgan Photography

Dani contacted us asking for fun beach photos during her vacation at Plantation Dunes in Fort Morgan. After looking through our blog, she decided that she really wanted something like this session from last year, including the duck blowup float! We love the way Dani, Travis, and Rowen dressed for their Fort Morgan photography session.

With us, there’s no dress code! Show up in your swimsuit or your Sunday best. Either option is fine with us! To book your beach photography session with us, start by choosing the beach you’ll be visiting by going to the “Locations” link in our main menu, then follow the steps on that page to get on our schedule. If you have any questions, our customer service team is always ready to help you. Just send them an email to info@shoreshooters.com.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Anniversary Photography – Orange Beach Photographer

Breanna and Brandon came to Orange Beach to celebrate their one year anniversary.  When she booked the session with our Orange Beach photographer, Breanna explained that there were storms and tornadoes on their wedding day, so they were not able to get many pictures.  Therefore, they were wanting a romantic anniversary photography session on the beach.

The weather was MUCH better on the morning of their anniversary photography session than it was on their wedding day!

If you’re coming to Orange Beach for your anniversary or any other special occasion, we’d love to meet you!  Visit this page for information on scheduling a session in Orange Beach or select “Locations” from the menu for any of our other areas.
