The sunrise session is perfect for early risers! For this beautiful morning session you can expect to meet your photographer 15-20 minutes before the sun comes up! Sunrises at the beach are gorgeous and peaceful as most vacationers are still sleeping and the beaches are mostly empty! Your photographer will take lots of pictures both scripted and spontaneous, and you will move all around on the beach taking shots near the dunes and down by the 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. 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 sunrise sessions at the Gulf State Park Pier..
