For family beach portraits on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, set against the beautiful white sands and turquoise waters, coordinated clothing colors enhance the picturesque scene. Ideal selections are all white, khaki with white, black with khaki, or denim combined with white or black. Turquoise and light pastels also blend beautifully with the environment. Although darker shades may seem warmer, they capture well on camera, offering a vivid contrast that makes the photos stand out. Photogenic options include dark blue jeans or stone-washed colors.
The time you spend choosing your attire will greatly contribute to your pleasure with the final portrait. While we don’t have a strict dress code and will photograph you in your selected outfit, your participation is vital in crafting a unique portrait. We recommend not using lotion or oils before your session to avoid sand sticking to your skin. The wind is frequent, so individuals with long hair may want to bring a brush and clips. We adjust to the weather during your shoot; however, keep in mind that we are on the beach, so preparation is key.
Photographers operating in Alabama State Parks are required to have approval and permits.
