Onsite Photography at the Beach Club

There is nothing better than being a teenager and getting to spend some quality time at the beach on vacation. With tons of things for kids todo at the beach on vacation, there are literally hundreds of things that teenagers can find to occupy their time. I can almost bet that are very few of them that would consider family portraits any where near remotely close to what they would want to do on vacation. Even though, moms would put that very high on the list. So we often find ourselves in a odd predicament. The teenagers show up, and we have to convince them it is really something they want todo. Sometimes not a very easy task, but one we must tackle. It is not as hard as one would think though but absolutely crucial to make sure smiles are natural and not forced. With over twenty five combined experience, we know exactly what todo. Its the simple tricks of the trade that help us convince anyone to crack a smile, young or mature. Our two teenagers from last night were no exception, but they were easier than most to get a natural smile. Thanks guys for showing up […]

Gulf Shores Senior Portraits

We had the distinct pleasure of working with one outstanding high school senior this morning at sunrise. Not only did this kid rock her session, she was a pleasure to photograph. With all sunrise senior sessions, everyone always arrives a little bit anxious. It really is a big deal waking up at sunrise, and add to the stress of just wondering if the alarm is actually going to go off, you have to be hair fixed and dressed while being ready to go way before the crack of dawn. Not something most would consider fun while on vacation. Well that is until they actually arrive and the realize, hey this is gonna be fun. Special thanks to our outstanding senior from this morning for falling fast into the fun part. Your attitude was wonderful, and it made working with a pleasure. That’s what truly makes sessions roll. When the subject is having a great time, the smiles are not forced. When the smiles are natural, photographic magic starts to happen. We got to experience this first hand our whole session this morning. Thank you so much for check out our work, and letting us be your goto for your Gulf […]

Professional Portraits in Gulf Shores

What do you get when you bring a shark hunter and a cowboy to the beach? A dang good time!!! That is exactly what happened at our sunset session on the beach in Gulf Shores last night. The little tyke was a cowboy through and through, and the older brother was an aspiring shark wrangler. It was an interesting combination to say the least. Was they return from vacation, I am almost positive Oklahoma will never be the same again. Oh the stories they will have to tell all their friends back home. We really appreciate you guys getting in touch with us and booking your very own professional portraits in Gulf Shores. My cheeks still hurt from smiling so hard at the cowboys actions. I mean this little fella was a hoot… If you have some little cowboys or shark wrangles, and are planning a trip to Gulf Shores, we would love to speak with you about your very own family beach portrait session. With over 25 years combined family beach photography experience, we would love to share our art with your family. Please take a minute and reach out to us today by either visiting our website at […]

Family Photography on the Beach

It is the simple things in life that we carry in our memories from a child to an adult. Simple things like going on a family vacation to the beach, spending time with your siblings playing in the ocean, looking for sea shell treasure, or even chasing ghost crab with a flash light after the sun sets. Those moments are the special times in life. Those moments are what we cherish forever. As we ask all our clients, “What will you remember?” Do you want to remember ever little detail, ever smile, ever happy laugh? Well, with professional beach photography, you will remember. You will remember the great time your family had, and you will cherish ever single little detail. Those details are what are worth remembering, those are the details that will fill the walls to your home. Special thanks to our family from last night for taking the time to do a little research and discover what we can help them remember. We had a wonderful time with you guys, and hope you have a wonderful vacation here in Orange Beach. The session turned out perfect, and we just can’t wait for you to see them all. I […]

Orange Beach Vacation Photographer

With thousands of activities to consume your time on vacation, it is almost a chore to decide what todo at the beach. One of the most basic and simple activities is having a little fun with your little brother in the sand. If I was five, and had a two year old little brother, that is exactly what I would do. Built a sand castle, tear it down, look for sharks teeth, wrestle a little while, who could imagine anything more fun on a break from the real world. What would you do? Well these two little tykes did just that at our sunset session last night. They had so much fun. The two year olds nick name was, “Ton of Fun” and he truly lived up to it. Thanks so much fellows for calling us again to be your Orange Beach Vacation photographer. We really had a fun time with ya’ll! Have a wonderful time in Orange Beach this week. If your family is planning a trip this summer to the Gulf Coast, we want to help you guys have a little fun as well. In the process, we can even help create some awesome art that you will […]

Gulf Shores Kids Photographer

Okay, our little guy from last night’s sunset taught us both a very valuable life lesson. He made it very apparent to both of us that for a perfect family vacation, you need a little beach chair time, some sand between your toes, and some waves lapping in the background. He just seemed so satisfied that he had finally figured out what family beach vacation really meant. Sure he had heard mom tell stories for many weeks about how much fun the beach was, but until he plopped his little behind down in that chair, it just did not make too much sense. I am positive that not only applies to this little fellow, but to each and every singe one of our audience. I mean, do you really understand relaxation while you are sitting at your office chair, no matter how ergonomically designed it is? Or do you need a little sand between your toes to determine your inner peace. I am almost positive the sand really helps. A special thanks to our awesome group of vacationers from last nights sunset. We really enjoyed working with you guys, and hope you walked away from the session with a big […]

Romantic Getaway in Orange Beach

There are bad guys, good guys, and great guys! We had the opportunity to meet and work with one of the few great ones around at last night’s sunset. After twenty two years of marriage, this special beau decided to surprise his beautiful bride with a special surprise weekend at the beach. It was truly a romantic getaway in Orange Beach, Alabama, and it is still in the making today. She had no clue what his plans were for her for this weekend, but like their very first blind date, she was willing to get in the car and see where fate was to take her. He had every little detail planned, including a romantic couples session with us at Sun Shots last night. We can’t wait to speak with them next week to see what else the weekend had in store for them. We are positive that no matter what in store, I am positive the sparkle in the eyes will alway be there. Are you planning a romantic getaway in Orange Beach? If so, we can help. We would love to speak to you about your own love bird type session. We really enjoy helping couples capture […]

Family Photography at the Beach Club

It is a bird! It is a plane! No, it’s just a great dad giving his little guy some flight time at our sunset session from last night. This is actually one of our favorite shots todo. The kids just love it, and with the right sunset it really packs a stunning visual punch in the final photograph. Not to mention, its a great workout for pop, lol. Our family from last night was staying at the Beach Club, which is one of our favorite getaways down here on the Gulf Coast. Like the atmosphere at the resort, family photography at the Beach Club is always casual and relaxed. We always seem to have a great time, and last night was no exception. The kids were two and eight months, and they were just as happy as they could be. Thanks guys for calling on us at Sun Shots to be your family photographer while on your vacation at the Beach Club. We really enjoyed working with the whole family! If your family is planning a vacation to Gulf Shores, and are staying at the Beach Club, we would love to speak with you about your very own family photography […]

Family Portraits at the Caribe Resort

One of the best keep secret’s along the Gulf Coast is an awesome resort called the Caribe. Quaintly located at the foot of Perdido Key in Orange Beach, Alabama. The Caribe is one of the nicest resorts on the shores of the Gulf. From many waterpark like pools, to stunning views of the area, it is defientely one of our personal favorite spots to vacation as well as to photograph on location. Not only is it a kids dream come true, it is a boater’s heaven. You could seriously go from balcony to red snapper fishing in a matter of minutes, considering it is the closest dock to the Perdido Pass, our gateway to the Gulf. Did I mention the beach access is also one of my favorite spots to work! Oh, and moms love it because it is just minutes away from some of the best shopping in the area at Sanroc Cay! Well last night we got lucky and had the opportunity to work at the Caribe. What a perfect session it was too! We had the pleasure of working with two awesome cuties! They were just darling and perfect little models. Our shot of the day is a true testament of […]
