Planning Notes
Beach session planning
Beach sessions work best when the plan is simple. One strong location, the right timing and outfits that move well in wind and sand will do more than overcomplicating the session.
- Sunrise and sunset are best for light
- Tide and wind may affect the final plan
- Barefoot usually makes the most sense
- Large families need extra time for groupings

Questions
Before you book
Is sunrise or sunset better for St. Augustine Beach photos?
Both can work, but sunrise is often cooler and quieter. Sunset can be beautiful if your family can handle the later timing.
Can extended families book beach sessions?
Yes. Extended family beach sessions work well with enough time and a simple plan.
How is St. Augustine Beach different from historic St. Augustine?
The beach gives you sand, ocean and coastal portraits. The historic district gives you architecture, old city texture and a more walkable route.
What should we wear for beach photos?
Choose coordinated outfits that move well in wind and sand. Soft neutrals, texture and comfortable clothing usually photograph well.
