Beach or Location Portraits
for Families and Groups

There's nothing that captures memories like professional lifestyle portraits taken at your choice of a beachfront or other location, and I offer both a la carte sessions and an affordable, fixed-cost package to make your memories come alive with professionally created location portraits. Forget the formal studio "dress up" portraits of old, with stiff poses and uncomfortable garb! Come to the beach or pose in your own back yard for casual, fun portraits created by a professional photographer who lives on the beach! Get barefoot in the surf, or lounge on the beach in your favorite casual clothes while I capture timeless memories of your family in a relaxed, unpressured atmosphere.
