FAQs
How long is a beach session?
I don’t use time limits. We go with the flow so your kids can warm up, settle in, and have fun. Most sessions last between 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on your family.
Can we include grandparents, cousins, and extended family?
Absolutely—extended family sessions are some of the most meaningful photos I create. Whether it's a family reunion, multi-generational group, or a big vacation rental gathering, everyone is welcome.
What should we wear?
I send a full style guide with color palettes, outfits that photograph beautifully on the beach, and tips to keep everyone comfortable.
What if my kids don’t listen?
Perfect.
I’m excellent with kids of all ages and energy levels. Wild, shy, silly, or stuck-to-your-leg—I work with them exactly as they are. Some of the best photos come from the chaos.
What if the weather is bad?
Texas beaches can be unpredictable, but I have flexible reschedule options. If it's unsafe or truly not photogenic, we pick a better day. I make every effort to fit in out of town and extended family sessions to make sure we can capture your beach vacation memories!
What beaches locations do you use?
I use a number of different beach locations in Galveston & Surfside beach depending on where you are located and what look you are going for. I chat with you before your session to pick the perfect location for your photo session.
Do you offer prints and albums?
Yes—heirloom albums, fine art prints, framed artwork, and canvas options. These are made to last decades, not years.
Do you offer digital files?
Yes! Digital packages are available, and you only ever choose and purchase exactly what you love. After your session you will receive a personalized online gallery and have the ability to purchase and download as many digital photo files as you like.
