Perdido Key

Well yesterday the dog days of summer finally went broke!  A cool arctic blast came blowing in, and this town had a little change of attitude.  Instead of scoring 110 degree heat indexes, we were blessed with 80 degree perfect beach weather.  It was absolutely amazing, we were grinning from ear to ear.  We were also blessed with the opportunity to work with these two little cuties.  They were no stranger to the beach, let me tell you.  They knew the sugar white sands of Perdido Key like it was their second home.  We got the tour of their awesome beach, and even got a grand tour of their beach sand castle.  It was equipped with its very own olympic size pool, by the way!  Needless to say, we had a blast.  From watching for dolphins to just plain ole having fun running around in circles, we did it all.  Thanks guys for inviting us over, we really were glad to make your acquaintance.  We sure can’t wait until the oldest grows up and becomes a cook/princess.  I am sure crossing my fingers we get invited over to the big castle for cake!  Have a safe trip, and we look […]

Caribe Resort

Professional beach photography portraits are not always about cute little babies, sometimes we are lucky enough to get families with grown babies as well.  I say grown babies with the biggest of grin.  Last night was one of those instances where we got the distinct opportunity of working with a  family with older kids while on their vacation at the Caribe Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama.  These guys were a blast to work with.  Just like families with small children, our sessions for older kids are pretty much the same.  It is all about making connections between the different members which help show the cohesion of the group as a whole.  When you can make this connection, you can make magic happen.  This magic is the essence of the family bond.  This connection is what makes moms hearts go pitter patter and dads smile with pride.  This connection is something we love to shoot for.  You know you have it when you look at the final finished print and you see a natural looking love that only a family can present.  Our shot of the day is a fine example of this connection.  You can just tell everyone is apart […]

Turquoise Place

Are you visiting the beach this summer/fall?  Have you decided on a place to stay yet?  If you are still looking for a spot, might I strongly suggest the Turquoise Place.  It is one awesome property!  Not only will the kids enjoy the endless hours floating in the lazy river, you will cherish the time spent grilling on the balcony every evening with the family.  Nothing like breaking bread on a balcony overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.  The gentle breeze, the tropical air, and the smell of the vacation barbecue.  What could be better in life!  Add on a photography session with us, and you have a perfect vacation in the making.  Just like our family from last night, they choose wisely.  Perfect spot in the sand, check!  Perfect happy relaxing days, check!  Perfect family photography session with Sun Shots, check!  We promise it will not be a vacation quickly forgotten.  It will remain fresh on your mind all winter long, and the photography will become cherished art that will last a lifetime.  Thanks guys for choosing us to be your professional family photographers while on your vacation in Orange Beach.  We hope the remainder of your stay at […]

Gulf Shores Vacations

While most littles are back in school dreaming about Gulf Shores vacations, this little cutie found her spot in the sand and was living the dream.  Nothing better than those little piggy toes in the sand.  Most experts agree one hour on the beach is the equivalent to twenty hours at a spa.  At least that is what wiki links said, not sure who these experts are, but we really like them.  Back to the subject at hand, our shot of the day is from last night’s sunset, and this little princess was an absolute blessing to work with.  She was just so happy and really loved being at the beach, which made our job super fun and easy.  I just love having children that love to have fun and pose.  They are so cute and easy to work with.  Sure it is fun putting on puppet shows, but sometimes being entertained is a lot easier than being the entertainer.  A special thanks to this little princess for  being such a fine model.  We hope you guys have a wonderful vacation and remember to call us again on your next trip. If your family is considering Gulf Shores as a […]

Beach Photography

Do you want to talk about cuteness?  Our cute little couple from last night’s sunset session takes the cake.  They were so cute, you could look up the term cute in the Webster dictionary, and you would find this picture.  She was also such a great big sister.  It is almost a guarantee this little princess is gonna grow up helping mom out with everything she can and one day become a great baby sitter when she is a teenager.  She was so cute and helpful.  Something we don’t always see in most three year olds.  It is such a pleasure working with cute kids like these too!  Nice families really make our job oh so enjoyable.  Thank you guys for allowing us to work with your family, we really hope you enjoy the art you guys helped us create.  Have a safe trip this week, and do forget to relax and have some fun. If your family is planning a last minute trip to the beach for a week, or even a weekend getaway, we want to talk to you about your very own family beach portrait photography session.  We still have a few spots left for the summer, […]

Baby Beach Pictures

Beach portraits should be all about fun and happy face smiles, the same goes with baby beach pictures.  Fun times, fun smiles, and fun memories.  There is nothing like a happy baby on the beach, and nothing makes a momma’s heart go pitter patter more than when it is captured on film.  Today’s shot of the day is one of those “be still my heart” type of moments.  This little angel was quite the professional when it came to making momma smile though.  It was like she already had years of practice.  She was such a little angel to work with.  I just love working with littles that can’t even crawl yet.  Though she was brand new, she knew exactly what todo.  Thanks so much guys for sharing your little bundle of joy with us.  We really enjoyed working with you guys and hope you have a wonderful remainder of your trip. If you have a bundle of joy and are coming on vacation to Orange Beach soon, please take a minute and check out more of our work.  With over twenty five years combined professional onsite beach photography experience, we are a husband and wife team, and we would […]

Family Photography Perdido Key

A happy family makes for a happy vacation.  A happy vacation makes for a happy family.  The both seem to go rather well hand in hand.  Something about the ocean air that keeps us all grinning with smiles from ear to ear.  Sure it is the Gulf, but the ocean air is unmistakeable.  The smell alone can turn a frown upside down when you first smell it fifty miles from the coast on your way in from the interstate.  When was the last time you smelt the wonderful salt air of the ocean?  If it has been awhile, what do you plan on doing about it?  A family vacation might just be what the doctor ordered.  We are positive you defiantly need a little beach time rest and relaxation.  Nothing better for the soul than a little bit of sand between your little piggy toes!  We are positive we have just that sand down here for you, where Perdido Key is proud to share its award winning sugar white sands.  Voted just last year as the best beach in the world by a few select locals, there is always a little wiggle room for you and your littles!  So don’t […]

Sunset Beach Pictures

Somedays we show up to work and we find out our clients have a little something we like to call hipster style.  Last night’s sunset session was one of those occasions.  This little guy had what the hipsters call swag.  I mean even his steps had a little swagger.  I am positive he had about twenty girlfriends all fighting for his undivided attention.  He had a pleasant gentleman like way about him too.  Very polite and gently spoken.  What a fine young fellow to work with.  He really had a lot of fun and he made the session really enjoyable.  He was just so eager to pose and help us get the perfect shot.  Thanks little man, we really had a good time working with you. If you have some kids with swagger, we want to talk to you about your very own hipster family beach photography session.  We are the local experts on sunset beach pictures, and we would love to share our art with your family.  Sessions are super fun and super simple.  We either work at sunrise, or at sunset, and sessions take about an hour.  From just the kids to small families, or even large groups, […]
