Edgy Couples


This inspo is for you.

Keeping the colors neutral and relaxed.

Ladies you can add your bathing suit for a sensual flair.

Sweet Couples


This inspo is for you.

Again keeping the colors nice and neutral. Natural fabrics.

Skip the stripes and harsh patterns as they have a tendency to swirl in camera.

Stripped and Edgy


You ever heard of K.I.S.S?

Keep it simple stupid. Your not stupid though...

Want to feel like lingerie without wearing lingerie on the beach?

Basic swimsuits, neutrals, fun one pieces with cutouts and jewels... hate to say it but SHEIN has so much options!

Soft and Sexy


White Button Downs - keep it sheer or linen, the fabric needs to be soft. You don't want a starchy and stiff material.

Coverups over your suit.

Dresses with slits.

Combos.

Again, SHEIN has so many options!

  • The Lodge 30A
  • The Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort

Want More?


Your session does include 15 edited images but there is always room for more. You can purchase more images or upgrade to albums and wall art items.


Once you receive your proof gallery you can reach out about custom art for you of you because these photos deserve to live outside of your devices.

Your Session

842 Main Park Road, Santa Rosa Beach

This is Grayton Beach State Park - you may have to pay $5 to enter at the time of your arrival.


Please arrive approximately 10 minutes prior to your session. If your session begins following another, meet me out on the beach.

I will text or message you what I am wearing and what direction to head so you can find me.

If you are my first session of the evening I will meet you there at the buildings you can see at the beginning of the trail.


See you there!
xoxo!
