Orange Beach Portrait Locations
We have many beautiful location spots for your family pictures on Alabama's Gulf Coast.
Alabama Orange Beach Point
The Alabama point offers long boardwalks and is one of the most scenic areas on the coast to walk out to.
its a great place with beautiful beaches and a wonderful place for many family sessions. But it is a long walk out and for some people it may be too far of a walk for them. Some older people with any walking problems this would not be the best location. You have to walk down a long boardwalk and then walk even more in the sand to get down to the waters edge.
Here is a video we created showing this area and walk.
Gulf State Park Park
The Gulf State Park is located in Gulf Shores. It's right at the line between the two towns so very easy to get to. It offers a unique spot for beach photos. The park has plenty of parking and in the areas we photography in they are less of a walk out making it more easy for many people to enjoy. This a highly recommend location. It's a mix of natural beauty and architectural charm.
Beachfront Homes in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores
We know some families have special places they love. That's why we offer sessions at beachfront properties. Whether it's your vacation rental or a favorite boardwalk, we'll capture your family in a meaningful way.
We can come right to you at your rented beach home or to many different condo resorts in the area to capture images of your family on the beach.
Here Are Two YouTube Videos We Created To Show Two Popular Photography Areas
First is the Gulf State Park right at the edge of the Gulf Shores town line. In the YouTube video you can tour the park and see why it is a very popular family portrait location. Second is the Alabama point we also call the Orange beach point. This is the area that has the long boardwalk walking out to the beach area. We also show the restaurants on each side of the bridge. Both are State Parks and we have the shooting permit required to work in each area. You can pick one of the two locations or if you are at a rented beach house we can come right to your location. We provide photography service at beach homes and condos all the time.

We serve Orange Beach on the Gulf Coast beaches. The Alabama point, at beach homes or condos and at the Gulf State park.

The best times for a sessions at are sunrise and sunset for soft natural light. For us we only shoot at sunset starting one hour before sunset.

What should we wear for our beach photo session?
Wear comfortable, coordinating outfits in beachy colors. White tops go great with blue jeans or khaki pants. Choose colors that complement each other well in the beach setting. Avoid bright colors like bright red, orange, yellows lime green as the sun will light them up over bright in the photos. it's good to stay with earth tones, blacks and browns also look good and sage green. More earth tone reds, orange and yellow do work well too.

Advanced Off Camera Flash
We use off camera flash when needed so we can achieve better exposures for your photos.
This brings out the better beach, sky and water colors. This also lets us shoot into the sunset to get the amazing sunset colors.
This kind of shooting can't be done by shooting natural light only. On many days for beach photos we need to use flash to create the best portraits. We do shoot natural light on the days when that is best. Most Beach session we shoot a mix of both as needed.



Natural Light Beach Photography We Capture Every Moment…
Yes we do shoot natural light but only when it is right to do so.
Many Days on the beach in the sun shooting natural light it is not the best way to shoot. Due to the suns brightness and the wind direction. It may be impossible to get a good exposure shooting natural light. Also on very over cast days shooting natural light produces very dull looking images.
When the sun is right we will shoot natural light but the sun changes as we are shooting and we may end up using flash for part or all of the session. Some days we may use flash on the full session to get the best color and exposure on the beach something a natural light only photographer can not do.
