Summer is the perfect time to have your family photos done and we specialize in creating great family photos at the beach. Each year, families from across the country are putting their trust in local professionals to capture their beach memories. When so many people can “do their own snapshots” I am glad there are those that understand the difference. Let us take the stress out of getting those beach photos you have always wanted!

The Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Professional Photographer for your family vacation beach photos.

1. Take away the stress! Let someone else stress over your temperamental toddler. You can relax while someone else brings a smile to her face. Remember this is Mom’s vacation too! It is hard enough to get the kids and Dad ready for the session, much less yourself…and finally after all that work who wants to try and get smiles out their kids. We promise to take the stress out of it and let Mom enjoy her photo session and even get some great portraits of her too!

2. Kids behave better for us.  It is true, we can get expressions and real portraits, that moms, uncles or grandmothers struggle with. We know all about it…photographing your own family can be very hard. No one wants to behave for their own family and they’re so easily distracted. We find that children respond well to us and listen as we are “new” to them and they react in a positive and happy manner.  A young man commented last week that “It was great! Mom you didn’t tell us we were going to enjoy it…we always hate it she takes them.”

3. It is not just a few pics on your phone. Beach Photos with two photographers and two cameras will make your beach session so much better!  As a two person team, we can get better images and entertain your little ones while keeping a keen eye out for hair adjustments, creating flattering poses and making sure you look fabulous. With two cameras and two different angles, we can create magical images you are dreaming of from your beach photo shoot.  
 

4. Photoshop and Professional Retouching or Editing. We make you look fabulous. No, not just some app that makes everyone look plastic and perfect, we make you look real, using artistic hand retouching with our digital pen. We can remove that crazy hair from the wind, people in the background or change the seaweed stained water. We have years of experience and can perform weight loss, clothing alterations and even head swaps if needed. Let our magic pens make you look wonderful! We create natural, real artistic edits. We take our time and work on each image by hand. Yes, we like technology too and we love photoshop, but too much digital editing can make you look fake. 

5. Art for Your Walls that features your family! We take more than beach photos of the kids, we capture family heirlooms of the entire family.  Our images can be purchased as digital files in collections for your own printing, or you can get a beautiful canvas printed by our pro lab made here in the USA. Maybe you want both! The digital images for your own small gifts and that big beautiful wall portrait! Let us create a piece of art for your wall rather than just some snap shots only big enough for your Christmas cards. We specialize in custom wall portraits and it is time to fill your living room with that perfect image of your family from your beach photo shoot.
