The Family Beach Photography Sunset / Sunrise Session is the most popular beach photography session. You can expect to meet your photographer 30-40 minutes before the sun goes down in order to capture the beautiful evening light! Family Beach Photography sunset sessions are well suited for any size group, extended families, girlfriend getaways, couples, or vacationing friends. Sunset sessions feature a combination of carefully scripted poses mixed with organic fun and spontaneous shots. Your photographer will take lots of pictures and move all around on the beach, taking shots near the dunes and down by the beautiful crashing waves!
You can choose to have your photographer join you at one of your favorite spots or you can choose to meet us at one of our preferred locations. Orange Beach Family Photography's photographers are on location photographers which means that they ditch the traditional studio and venture out into the beautiful local areas of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores for all sessions. Our favorite Orange Beach photography locations include the beaches and boardwalks of Alabama and Florida Points along with the beautiful Gulf State Park Pier in Alabama's Gulf State Park. Our Gulf Shores photographers often shoot family beach photography sessions at the Gulf State Park Pier and Mobile Street in the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge.
