Frequently asked questions.

We are here to answer all your questions

  • Where in Florida do you shoot?

    We shoot from Destin to Panama City beach! If you're staying in the 30a area that's between the two and we shoot there the most!

  • We have several families that want a session how do I set that up?

    First Question? How many sets of parents are there? Each set of parents can purchase a half session and then we can book them back to back and get several group shots together as well as individual family shots! You can find more information on our large family/friend groupings at this link: https://www.the30abeachphotographer.com/entire-gang

  • Do you come to us our beach house?

    Unfortunately no, we are scheduled back to back with sessions so all our clients come to the location we find that works best.

  • When should I book?

    Book as soon as you book your stay! There is only 1 sunset each evening don't miss the chance for yours!

  • What happens if it rains?

    It always rains here due to the tropical nature of the area but its normally quick showers. We will look ahead for the day and should it predict showers during your session we will adjust the time or even date. We've only had the rain rain us out of 2 session in the 7 years we've been shooting here.

    Depending on the time of year and package it can be either be our photographer Makayla or Lisa. Our work is showcased in our gallery.

  • Is there a difference in lighting and color between the packages?

    YES! Our HALF BEACH SESSION are more blue in color and brighter due to the time of day we offer that specific package.

    Our FULL BEACH SESSION varies between cool tone and warm tone color due to the time day we offer that specific package.

    Our SUNRISE BEACH SESSION normally tends to be warm in color and by the end of your session it ends more cool color tone as the sun rises.

    Our SUNSET BEACH SESSION normally tends to be warm in color as, we tend to schedule those 20-30 minutes before golden hour.

    Lighting and Color in all sessions vary and depend on what Mother Nature offers us.

  • Will our clothing selection impact the look of our images?

    YES! If you go casual your images won’t reflect the romantic whimsical look l we showcase in our gallery.

    We will send you a clothing guide once your session is booked to help guide you in the perfect look for our session.

  • Do we pick the poses we want and does it vary for each package?

    The photographers know which poses to do and take care of that for you all!

    The Half Beach Session tends to be more of the standard posing and family groupings as well as individual shots of the children due to the limited time.

    The Full Beach Session is similar to the half beach session but allows for additional variations of poses/groupings since more time is allowed with that package.

    The Sunrise/Sunset Sessions offers the standard family posing with different variations as well as individual shots of the children also offers more of unposed moments that really showcase the family in a beautiful manner.
