South Padre Island Photographer

Family Beach Portraits
What should one expect at the photo session?

Now that you have picked the day and what to wear, it is time for the photo session to begin.  First, be prepared to spend up to about two hours for the session.  In most cases, it takes less time, but make sure to bring plenty of water and towels.  Once everyone is at the location, it is time to start posing.  My job as the photographer is to scope out the best spot for everyone to sit or stand.  Possible sites include dunes, waters edge,  rock jetties or standing in front of a landmark, such as a pier or lighthouse.  Once everyone is in position, I will be snapping a few test shots to make sure that everything is technically right.  Then it’s time to get the shots.  I will snap quite a few shots of the same pose to insure a wide option of choices, so if you blink or sneeze, or forget to smile, that one shot won’t ruin the whole bunch.  After the large family shots are done, it’s time to get individual shots and smaller groups.
My goal as a photographer is to make sure your Family Portrait Session is a fun and stress free experience.  By following these few guidelines, you and your family can enjoy your Beach Vacation memories for a lifetime.

Thanks, and I hope to see you on the beach.
