I’ve been one of Destin Florida beach photographers for over 18 years. I loved photographing the Thomas family in Destin. I’m pretty sure this sweet girl was the happiest baby I’ve ever photographed. She clearly had her nap that day. So many clients are always so concerned about photographing at Sunset during the Summer with little ones. It is usually around 7:00. But I always tell them as long as they get a nap that day, they usually do great. They are on vacation and like us, they are excited to see and be somewhere new. Some children do better at Sunrise but who wants to get up at 5am? I say it is worth the risk to stay up late! Here are more photos from Destin.

There are tons of tips located on my website on The Portrait Guide that will help make our Sunset session fun and painless. Here are a few tips and reasons to photograph your family in Destin during golden hour for now.

Golden Hour Magic

Golden hour is a special time of day. It usually happens about an hour before sunset. During this time, the sun gives a warm, golden glow to the landscape. This creates a soft, diffused light that is perfect for portraits. The golden hour light can make your family look their best, with soft shadows and a warm, natural look. Most Destin photographers shoot at golden hour.

Destin’s Beauty
Destin is a beautiful place, with white sand beaches, turquoise water, and lush green vegetation. The golden hour light makes Destin look beautiful. It creates a great background for your family photos on the beach and in local parks. I also love photographing families at the jetties at the Destin Harbor. Being a Destin photographer gives us so many backdrops to work with.

Memorable Moments

A family beach session during golden hour is a great way to capture lasting memories of your time in Destin. These photos will help you to remember the fun you had together and the beautiful scenery you enjoyed. I like to focus both on the candid moments and posed moments to fit your Christmas cards and photographs on your wall perfectly.

Professional Photos

A professional photographer can help you to capture the perfect family photos. They will know how to pose your family. They will use the light well. They will create beautiful images that you will cherish for years. Don’t stress yourself out and try to do it yourself. There is no way to make sure you get rid of the shadows, your body is positioned correctly, or the perfect angle by yourself.

A session during golden hour in Destin is a great way to make beautiful memories. These memories will last a lifetime. The golden hour light, combined with the stunning scenery of Destin, will create photos that you will treasure for years to come.

Here are some additional tips for having a successful family beach session during golden hour:

Book your session in advance. Golden hour is a great time for photos. It’s important to book your session early, especially in June and July.
Choose a Destin photographer who specializes in family photography. Not all photographers are created equal. Make sure you choose a photographer who has experience taking photos of families on the beach.

Let your photographer know what you’re looking for. Do you want candid photos of your family playing on the beach? Or do you want more posed portraits? Let your photographer know your vision so they can capture the perfect photos for you.
Relax and have fun! The most important thing is to relax and enjoy your time with your family. Your photographer will be able to capture the natural beauty of your relationships.
