MAINE FAMILY BEACH Portraits, in the mountains, near a stream or lake somewhere that is special to you!
ON-LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY by YOUR MAINE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Alana ranney
FOR THE BEST FAMILY PHOTO EXPERIENCE ON THE MAINE COAST OR OUT IN NATURE IT PAYS TO COME PREPARED.
If you’re taking a family vacation to Maine, this is a great opportunity to plan a family photo session on the beach or at any location you love.
IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO WHILE YOU ARE VISITING MAINE -THE SOONER YOU SCHEDULE YOUR MAINE FAMILY PHOTO SESSION, THE BETTER.
Most photographers fill up very quickly during peak season, the summer and fall months. If you are headed to Maine during the peak beach season, plan to book your beach family photo session as soon as your dates are confirmed! My beach sessions and nature sessions schedules get booked many months in advance. Sometimes there are last-minute cancellations, but I sadly have to turn many families away because I can’t fit another session into my schedule.
HAVING BEAUTIFUL MAINE BEACH / NATURE FAMILY PORTRAITS MEANS THE SESSION DEPEND ON SOFT LIGHT. We start in the early morning about 8 am, or late in the day about 1 hour before sunset if possible. If the weather forecast is cloudy, which happens quite a, I will move your session time JUST A BIT start 45 minutes later for am sessions and 1 hour earlier for evening sessions- to allow for extra ambient light. Alana’s Fine Art Photography www.afinephoto.com I know sunrise is rough but it is beautiful and sunset is late during the summer. But I promise that the softer, golden light is worth it to capture the most flattering images of your family! The excitement of being at the beach in the evening will almost always quell any bedtime crankiness from the little ones. It is highly recommended that on picture day not to go to the beach earlier in the day. I suggest giving young children a later nap than usual if your family session is closer to sunset. Pack pajamas for the ride home after your session change them in the car before driving home!
I have clothing tips and more!
I will email you the entire thing once you are booked. I am here to assist you with all of the details from location clothing etc.
