What to Wear for Beach Portraits
When it comes to family portraits, what you wear is HUGE! It determines the mood of your photos and even the overall coloring. We are here to tell you not to overthink it.
What we mean by that is, put effort into coordinating your outfits, but don't overdress. Beach portraits are meant to be laid back, so you don't want to overdo it. Think, sundresses for the ladies and t-shirts and shorts for the kids.
Now let's talk about colors; neutral colors like white, tan, and beige will always work at the beach. It works for a reason! It almost always compliments skin well, and it photographs well.
Avoid loud colors like coral, red, bright orange, yellow, or even some shades of blue. This is a big challenge for photographers and editors, as it does not compliment the skin and tends to leave people looking orange or sunburnt.
With that being said, we want your family to have a good experience, so dress how you feel comfortable and have fun!
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!

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!

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.
