FAQs

What should we wear for beach photos?

Once you’ve booked, you’ll get access to my full style guide to help you plan outfits you’ll love! In general, I love denim, neutrals, and soft, minimal patterns — these tend to photograph beautifully and let you be the focus.

Do you photograph extended families?

Absolutely! I’d be honored to capture your whole crew. Just a heads up – including extended family is available for an additional fee so we can make sure there’s plenty of time to document everyone beautifully.

Do we need a permit for beach photography on 30A?

Nope — I’ve got that covered! Many beaches along 30A do require a professional photography permit, and I take care of all of that behind the scenes so you don’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re in a private community (like Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, WaterColor, or WaterSound), just let me know — I’ll walk you through what’s needed.

How long does it take to receive our gallery?

I know how exciting it is to see your photos! That’s why full, professionally edited galleries are delivered within one week, with sneak peeks shared just a few days after your session.

Do you retouch or edit the images?

Yes! Every session includes thoughtful editing, and the style you’ll receive has a warm, nostalgic feel with a gentle touch of grain that enhances the mood and emotion of your images.

How far in advance should we book our session?

With 2 weeks’ notice, I can usually secure your date – but if you’re hoping to book sooner, definitely reach out so we can see what’s possible!

What happens if it rains or the weather changes?

No stress at all! I keep a close eye on the forecast, and if it looks like rain or bad lighting, I’ll reach out a couple of days before your session to reschedule at a time that works best for you.

Why do you only offer sunset sessions, and what time do they usually start?

Sunset sessions are sweet, glowing, and absolutely gorgeous — plus, right now I’m scheduling them to fit around family life (I’m currently a SAHM!). Mini sunset sessions start ~10 minutes before sunset, and full sessions start ~20 minutes before. As the seasons change I will be adding more options like sunrise!

Which 30A locations do you shoot at?

I love all of the beautiful spots between East Panama City Beach to West Santa Rosa Beach. If you’re dreaming of somewhere specific, just tell me! I’d love to chat about the perfect location for your session.

How long is the session and how many images will we receive?

  • Mini sessions: ~20 minutes, with about 45-60 photos in your gallery

  • Full sessions: ~50 minutes, with about 100-130 photos in your gallery

    All galleries are delivered fully edited and are yours to download, share, print, and treasure for years to come.
