My favorite combo is the Ft. Pickens plus Gulf of Mexico beach option for a family photo session. It takes a little longer but the two different backdrops is so worth it! #pensacolabeachphotographer

With the #gulfcoast being a favorite vacation and #reunion spot, I do a lot of multi-family sessions over the summer on the beach when grandparents, parents, and grandchildren all gather at a condo. We do every combination of grouping- I get a photo of the grandparents & grandchildren together, all the girls together, all the guys together, all the grandchildren including individuals....and of course we get the large group shot. A one hour multi-family session is $500 which includes an online gallery, print release and the option to buy prints from me. Give the studio a call today to book your #beachvacation #familyphotosession in #gulfshores #gulfshoresphotographer #orangbeachphotographer #perdidokey #pensacolabeachphotographer #destinphotographer #floridaphotographer
