BEACH
Massachusetts & Southern Maine Beach Photographer
I offer beautiful, storytelling beach photography sessions for families throughout Massachusetts and Southern Maine, photographed during the soft, golden light of sunset.
Beach sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to capture genuine connection against the timeless backdrop of sand, sky, and sea.
I offer two session types to fit your needs:
Standard Sessions include a session fee, with prints and products selected separately from your online proofing gallery.
Digital Sessions are all-inclusive and include a set number of high-resolution digital images in the session fee, along with a discount on additional prints and products.
To ensure a calm, unhurried experience and the highest quality imagery, mini sessions are not offered for beach photography.
Travel time and the ever-changing coastal light require ample time to create the beautiful, authentic portraits you see throughout my gallery.
Once your session is booked, I’ll guide you through every detail — including ideal timing, wardrobe recommendations, and tips for making the most of your beach photography session — so you can relax and simply enjoy time with your family while I capture the moments.
If you’re looking for a Massachusetts or Southern Maine beach photographer who specializes in natural, sunset-lit family portraits, I’d love to create something special for you.

Why Book a Beach Photography Session?
A beach photography session offers a relaxed, natural setting that allows families to truly connect. The wide-open shoreline, soft sand, and glowing sunset light create the perfect backdrop for timeless family beach portraits that feel genuine and emotional.
Beach sessions are ideal for children of all ages. With plenty of space to move and explore, kids are free to be themselves — running along the water’s edge, laughing together, and sharing authentic moments that translate into meaningful, storytelling photographs. These sessions feel less like a photo shoot and more like quality time together.
The coastal environment provides a clean, uncluttered background that keeps the focus on your family, while the natural light at sunset enhances skin tones and creates soft, flattering imagery. The result is a collection of natural, candid family photographs you’ll treasure for years.
If you’re looking for a Massachusetts beach photographer or Southern Maine beach photographer who specializes in relaxed, sunset-lit family sessions, a beach session is a beautiful way to capture your family just as you are in this season of life.
