Q: When is the best time for beach photos in Ocean City?
A: Early evening sessions provide the most flattering light and fewer distractions, especially during peak summer season.
Q: Where do the sessions take place?
A: We scout out the best spots every year. That sometimes changes from year to year depending on how much winter storms affected the beaches. Our favorite spots last year were 3rd St and 14th/15th Streets.
Q: What should we wear for beach photos?
A: Soft, neutral tones and light layers photograph beautifully against the beach. We’re happy to offer outfit guidance before your session.
Q: How long does a session last?
A: Most Ocean City beach portrait sessions last anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes — just long enough to capture great variety without kids (or adults) getting restless.
Q: What happens if the weather isn’t ideal?
A: We are constantly monitoring the radar. If it rains we can attempt to reschedule based on your availability and ours. Keep in mind cloudy days often provide beautifully soft light, so sometimes it’s a perfect opportunity!
