Beach Session Tips

For the best beach portraits, choose comfortable clothing in coordinating colors such as whites, pastels, khakis, or denim. Solid colors photograph best and help keep the focus on your family. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, and mismatched prints.

Beach sessions are typically barefoot, but we recommend bringing sandals for walking to and from the beach. Wind is common, so consider hairstyles and products that will help keep hair in place.

Best Time for Beach Photos

The most beautiful beach portraits are captured during the hour before sunset or shortly after sunrise when the light is soft and flattering. Midday sun can create harsh shadows and squinting.

Maine weather can be unpredictable, but overcast skies often create stunning images. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll gladly work with you to reschedule.

Pets Welcome

We love including four-legged family members whenever beach regulations allow. Be sure to check that your chosen location is pet-friendly before your session.
