Beach Portraits
You're on vacation ... Let us take the work and worry out of your beach portrait experience.
We'll meet you at your beach location for a worry-free beach portrait sitting. If you are not staying at a beach-side
location, we can help find the perfect beach for your portraits.
We schedule all beach portraits one hour prior to sunset. This time of day provides the most beautiful and
flattering light and is easiest on the eyes. This time of day is also cooler in the mid-summer months, which will
make walking barefoot on the sand a much more enjoyable experience for those tiny feet.
During your portrait sitting, we will take several photos of the entire family, as well as individual shots, unless
requested otherwise. We will maximize the portrait sitting to include all requested combinations of family members
for your portraits and then let you get back to vacationing. No fuss, no muss.
There is no need to schedule an additional appointment for proof-viewing. While you spend your remaining
vacation days sunning and funning, we will prepare your portraits, create a custom-designed, coffee table style
proof album and ship it directly to your home address. (Click here for more information on our proof albums.) The
proof album will contain the "best-of" images and is yours to keep. As we often exceed forty proofs from our beach
portrait sittings, we will design your album with the best 40-50 images. All proofs will then be published in a private
electronic gallery for viewing and sharing (and bragging) with friends and family. Portrait prints may be ordered
directly from your online gallery at your convenience.
Our priority is to provide you with timeless photographic memories of your Emerald Coast vacation.
Weddings
We know how important your wedding photography is to you. This is the day you will treasure for a lifetime. As you
plan for your future together, let us capture the romance, joy and excitement of your wedding day with our
distinctive style and fresh approach to wedding photography. We will capture your wedding dreams as they come
true.
Whether photographing a small beach wedding or a large family celebration, Camera-Shy approaches wedding
photography with a blend of traditional formal photography and documentary photojournalism. We shoot
continuously throughout the event to capture every element of your big day, blending in some traditional poses of
family, friends and the bridal party to create an album that tells the story of your day.
Complimentary wedding consultation appointments are available upon request. This will give us an opportunity to
discuss the plans for your big day, your ideas for your wedding photography, as well as your engagement and
bridal portrait needs.
