Below are answers to the questions I receive most often.

Sessions are available throughout Navarre Beach, Pensacola Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Gulf Breeze, Okaloosa Island, Destin, and surrounding Emerald Coast communities.
What is included with my photography session?
Every session includes:
- Your professionally edited gallery
- Every beautifully edited image from your session (duplicates, blinks, and test images are removed)
- Professional color correction and artistic retouching
- High-resolution downloads
- Personal print release
- Private online gallery
- No hidden image purchase requirements
My goal has always been simple: once your gallery is complete, it's yours to enjoy.
How many images will I receive?
Each collection includes a guaranteed minimum number of photographs, but I always deliver every beautiful image that meets my quality standards. I never ask clients to choose favorites or purchase additional downloads later.
Do you provide RAW images?
No. RAW files are unfinished camera files and are not part of the final product. Every delivered image is carefully selected, professionally edited, and finished in the signature style that represents Sea Glass Photography.
When is the best time for beach pictures?
The most beautiful beach portraits are created during sunrise or sunset, often called Golden Hour. The softer light creates flattering skin tones, beautiful colors, and the glowing coastal look that makes Navarre Beach so special.
What happens if it rains?
Florida weather can change quickly, so I closely monitor forecasts leading up to your session. If weather conditions aren't suitable, we'll work together to reschedule for another available sunrise or sunset so you receive the beautiful experience and photographs you deserve.
What should we wear?
Soft neutrals, earth tones, whites, pastels, rich jewel tones, and flowing fabrics photograph beautifully on the beach.
For the most flattering results, I recommend avoiding neon colors, large logos, busy patterns, solid black, and dark navy.
After booking, you'll receive my complete Beach Style Guide with outfit inspiration, color palettes, shopping recommendations, and tips to help you look your very best.
What if my children don't cooperate?
Don't worry—that's completely normal!
My sessions are designed around movement, games, and natural interaction rather than asking children to sit perfectly still. Years of experience photographing families have taught me how to keep little ones engaged while capturing genuine smiles and authentic moments.
Some of my favorite images happen when children simply get to be themselves.
Can grandparents and pets be included?
Absolutely! Multi-generational portraits often become some of a family's most treasured photographs, and well-behaved dogs are always welcome at pet-friendly beach locations.
Where do sessions take place?
I photograph throughout the Emerald Coast, including:
- Navarre Beach
- Pensacola Beach
- Gulf Breeze
- Fort Walton Beach
- Okaloosa Island
- Destin
I'll recommend the best location based on your session, lighting, season, and beach conditions.
How long does a session last?
Most portrait sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the collection you select.
When will I receive my gallery?
Portrait galleries are typically delivered within three weeks or less. During the busy summer vacation season, delivery may take up to three weeks.
Wedding galleries vary depending on the amount of coverage.
Surprise proposals, weddings, and select special events receive a sneak peek within 24 hours whenever possible.
Can you remove people and distractions from the background?
Yes. Professional editing allows me to remove many distracting elements such as beachgoers, trash, signs, and other visual distractions whenever possible, helping create clean, timeless images.
Do you photograph surprise proposals and weddings?
Yes! I love photographing surprise proposals, intimate beach weddings, vow renewals, and elopements.
I'm happy to help with planning, timing, location selection, and creating a smooth experience so you can simply enjoy the moment.
How far in advance should I book?
Vacation dates fill quickly, especially during spring break, summer, holidays, and fall.
I recommend booking as early as possible to reserve your preferred date, but if you're planning a last-minute trip, don't hesitate to reach out. If I have availability, I'd love to photograph your family.

What do I get if I hire Sea Glass Photography?
You receive a truly all-inclusive experience with absolutely no hidden pricing. I do not believe in charging clients extra fees later just to unlock their images! Your investment includes:
- Your FULL Delivered Gallery: I never hold your memories hostage for more money. You get the whole gallery of my work, your time, the smiles, the challenges, and even the beach wind! (Minus duplicates, blinky images, bad angles, or hair all in the face images of course). Full session galleries usually receive 40+ images and mini 25 minute sessions usually receive 15-20 images, depending on the flow of each session and client participation.
- Elite, Commercial-Grade Gear: I am proudly addicted to premium Canon RF glass! I shoot with the absolute best equipment on the market, including two Canon R5s, the new Canon R5II, and two Mark VIs. My lenses include the legendary 85mm f1.2, 50mm f1.2, 135mm f2.0, and 70-200mm f2.8. This massive investment in top-tier gear ensures your photos are razor-sharp, vibrant, and flawless in any lighting. (Hey, a shoe addiction would have been cheaper!)
- Professional Culling & Hand-Editing: I personally hand-edit every single image, selecting the best from each series of poses and prompts given during a session. I meticulously clean up the gallery to remove images that are mid-speech faces, blinks, and duplicates so only your absolute best angles remain.
- Full Print Release & High-Res Downloads: You can download your full-resolution, stunning 45-megapixel Canon R5 images as many times as you like. A signed photo print release is conveniently built right into your booking documents.
What is the best time of day for beach photos in Navarre Beach?
To get those iconic, creamy beach portraits, we always shoot at Sunrise or Sunset. Midday sun on the white sands of Navarre Beach creates harsh facial shadows and forced squinting. Shooting at sunrise or sunset ensures soft, gorgeous, and flattering natural light.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our session?
Don't worry! Coastal weather is always monitored closely. If the weather conditions are unsafe or not ideal for a beautiful portrait session, I offer flexible rescheduling options. This includes utilizing alternate dates or switching to a sunrise session when available to make sure you get beautiful photos.
How and when will I receive my images?
You will receive a link to a private online gallery where you can view your full edited gallery, download all high-resolution images, and easily share the link with family and friends. There are zero download limits and no hidden fees.
- Family, Senior, Maternity, Couples, Proposals, and Events: Your final gallery is delivered within 2 weeks or less. During the peak, busy June and July tourist season, delivery is within 3 weeks.
- Weddings: Gallery timelines vary depending on the length of your wedding day coverage.
Do you offer sneak peeks?
Yes! For surprise proposals, gender reveals, and weddings, you will receive a special sneak peek the same night or within 24 hours so you can share your big news immediately!
Can I print my photos wherever I want?
Yes, absolutely. Because you receive the full-resolution 45-megapixel files and a digital print release in your booking documents, you are completely free to print your photos at any lab you choose.
Can I get the RAW (unedited) camera files?
No. RAW images are never provided to clients. The careful selection, culling, and meticulous hand-editing process is an essential part of my artistic style. You will only receive fully polished, gorgeous, finished works of art that represent the Sea Glass Photography brand.
