Questions & answers
How much does a beach photo session cost?
Our Basic Photo Plan is $400 — a 60-minute session with 25 edited photos guaranteed, delivered in an online gallery. The Premium Photo Plan is $600 — the same 60-minute session with 40 edited photos. Golden-hour (sunset) time slots add a flat $100 to either package.
What’s included in every session?
A full hour with your photographer, help choosing the right beach and meeting spot, timing planned around the best light, and a gallery of hand-edited photos. We handle the logistics — you just show up.
How many photos do we get?
25 edited photos with the Basic plan and 40 with Premium — guaranteed counts, not “up to.” Every delivered photo is individually edited.
Does a sunset session cost extra?
Yes — sessions that start within 60 minutes before local sunset include a flat $100 golden-hour fee on top of either package. Morning sessions carry no extra fee and the beaches are at their quietest.
How do we book a session?
Send an inquiry through our booking form and we’ll confirm availability, location, and your photo plan before anything is locked in.
Can we purchase extra photos?
Yes — additional edited photos are $15 each, requested after your gallery is delivered.
How far ahead should we book our session?
A few weeks ahead is the safe window, especially in the winter and spring high season when sunset slots go fastest. If your dates are fixed — like a planned vacation week — book before you arrive.
Can you fit us in last-minute?
Sometimes! If your trip snuck up on you, reach out anyway — if there’s an open slot that works with the light, we’ll make it happen.
When do we get our photos?
We’ll confirm the current turnaround time when you book — it varies with the season and the editing queue. Visiting from out of town and leaving soon? Tell us — we can prioritize a few favorites so you’re not waiting at home empty-handed.
Do you deliver RAW or unedited files?
No — you’ll receive a curated gallery of the best images, fully edited for consistent color and light. We don’t deliver RAW or unedited files.
Do you retouch skin or remove objects?
We focus on clean, natural edits — light, color, and overall polish. If you have a specific retouch request, just ask and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you guarantee specific poses or exact shots?
We’ll aim for your priorities, but we can’t guarantee exact outcomes — light, weather, and group dynamics change quickly on the beach.
What happens if we need to change plans?
If weather threatens your session, we re-time or reschedule at no charge. For anything else, let us know as soon as possible and we’ll find the next best slot.
Do you photograph visitors, or just locals?
Both, constantly. A big share of our sessions are vacationing families — we meet you near your rental, pick the beach, and handle the timing so your photos feel effortless mid-trip.
