Portrait Photography On The Beach of Lindsay and Mike

When the weather starts to warm up as it did this week I generally find myself down at the beach with couples, brides or famlies to shoot beach portraits. This week was stellar weather wise, and I had two sessions this week on the best weather days.

I typically shoot beach portraits at sunset, because this is the best light. I ask that my portrait clients meet me on the beach around 30-45 minutes before sunset. The best time to do these portraits obviously changes as the days get longer through the summer. I use the US Naval Observatory Web Site to calculate the best time to ask portrait clients to meet me at the beach.

Here are some beach portraits of Lindsay and Mike taken on Thursday of this week.

I usually take around 200 images during a beach portrait session. Sometimes we see dolphins, sometimes we see pelicans, sometimes it’s just a gorgeous sunset, and sometimes it’s not. I just never know what God has in store for me on any given day, but that’s what makes life so much fun.

It’s easy to book your own Virgina Beach Portrait Session, just use the contact form at Bill Murray’s OnOn Digitography or give me a call, the number is listed on the site too.
