Question 2

When should I book my session?

Accepted Answer

Destin Beach portrait sessions book very fast for the Summer or “Peak Season” dates (Memorial Day to Labor Day). It is recommended that you book your beach session as soon as you book your vacation.

Question 3

What time is my session?

Accepted Answer

The optimal time to take portraits on the beach is sunrise or sunset. Attempting to take portraits out of this time frame can result in bright, squinting pictures, and overcrowded beaches.

Question 4

Where will my session take place?

Accepted Answer

Your session location will be determined at the time of your booking. If you are staying on the beach or have access to a private beach, we can travel to you. However, during peak season some locations can get very crowded. We have several beach locations that we can recommend if you do not have access to a private beach or would like a specific location.

Question 5

What do your photo sessions cost?

All sessions are based on the number of people in your group and the amount of time needed to capture your portrait memories.Pricing can be found on our website under the pricing tab.Feel free to call/text 850-374-7046 or submit an inquiry for more information.

Question 7

When do I pay?

To secure your date, a deposit is required. The deposit can be paid over the phone, or an invoice can be sent to your email.
The remainder of your balance will be due after your session. 
Final payment can be made with Cash, Credit, Venmo, or Invoice.

Question 8

Can I reschedule my portrait session?

Accepted Answer

We understand that unexpected events can occur. If something should happen and you would need to reschedule your beach portrait session, please give us a call as soon as possible.

Question 9

What if it rains???

Accepted Answer

I am always watching the weather. I try to hold off on canceling your portraits until closer to your session. There are days that start off very dreary and rainy, but end will the most beautiful sunset! Therefore, I do not like to cancel too early in the day!
If by some chance the rain does not clear out, I will try to reschedule your session within your stay. However, if I cannot reschedule you to your satisfaction, I will cancel your session, and you will receive a full refund!

Question 10

What do I wear to my beach session?

Accepted Answer

For family portraits I would recommend a simple & similar overall tone. I normally prefer tones of solid colors with little pattern; too many patterns can look busy. 
This is a time for you to be YOU, what colors are your favorite, or do you feel most comfortable in? 
I also have a “What to Wear” board on Pinterest that has some great outfits & color combos that may be helpful.

Question 11

What do you mean by editing?

Accepted Answer

We crop and edit all portraits before sending them to you! What does this mean?
We will crop them down to a managable and printable size. As for editing: We will adjust some brightness and color levels, we take people out of the background, etc. We will not alter your appearance unless special requests have been made. There could be a charge for additional editing outside of our normal range!
