Destin
Beach vacations are about having fun and relaxing along
Florida's Gulf Coast. Our approach to your Destin Beach portrait
session is the same. We want you to be at ease and as the locals
say “on island time” during the time we are capturing the spirit
of your beach stay. We take care of the little details to make
you look your best; from individuals to large family reunions
are all part of the fun!
Capturing perfect Destin Beach Portraits requires planning,
understanding the beach environment, posing our clients to look
their best, attention to the little details, and photographic
experience dealing with the ever-changing lighting encountered
on our sugar white beaches in the sunshine. We take a team
approach using a seasoned photographer working with an expert in
placing our clients so they look their best. We work as a team
with one working with the clients to make sure they look their
absolute best; with their hair working with the wind, jewelry
hanging straight, giving advice on how to deal with the sun to
reduce squinting, and posed for the best results. It leaves the
photographer free to concentrate on catching the perfect
picture. We work hard to capture your special moments often
taking 300 photographs or more to capture those perfect 60 you
will receive in your custom bound proof album.
Our team approach to Beach Photography is ideal to capture
Children’s Beach Portraits both in a traditional posed portrait
style and also in a more relaxed and casual photojournalistic
approach where we allow them to be themselves and capture the
essence of their childhood memories on the beach. Young children
react with a sense of awe and wonderment to the beach and are
eager to explore it. We leave time in the portrait shoot so
their curiosity can be satisfied and often times younger
children are best photographed using this technique. Because we
don’t limit ourselves to the number of pictures we shoot on any
session we are able to capture a large number of candid
photographs of children being children and then present the best
of the best in your bound proof portfolio with custom designed
cover.
The best time to have your portraits shot along Destin Florida
is the hour before sunset. The lighting has turned softer and as
the sun nears the horizon turns a bit golden to produce the most
flattering beach portraits possible. The low sun angle also adds
dimensionality to the portraits. As a result, we like to limit
our shoots to one a day starting about an hour before sunset and
working a bit past sunset. The second option is sunrise as the
sun works it’s way up. The lighting on the beach at any other
time may be too harsh and could cast harsh shadows, cause
excessive squinting, and is not very flattering.
We capture your portraits using state of the art Nikon digital
cameras, lenses, and flashes. Shooting digital allows us to take
hundreds of shots each session to get those perfect portraits.
Your photographs are then displayed on our online storefront so
they may be shared with your friends and relatives and your
bound proof portfolio with it’s unique custom designed cover
becomes a treasured keepsake documenting your Destin Beach
vacation along the Florida's Gulf Coast.
We serve Destin Florida and many other local areas. Don't be
limited to the beach, Florida Beach Photography will photograph
you at any location of your choice, whether it is your home or
condominium, a park, a historic building, even your boat!! We
have a special package to capture your favorite hobby or sport,
also. We want your photos to be unique and memorable, so bring
your fishing pole or your golf club, we guarantee you will be
happy with the results. Make Florida Beach Photography your
destination photographer of choice on your next stay along the
Florida Gulf Coast!
