Choose a date that fits your trip and a pace that feels comfortable. Tell me whether you’d like a short walk, breaks, or photos with your partner and older children.

Choose an easy beach and gentle light

I can suggest a meeting point with a short approach. Morning often feels cooler. Use the timing guide if you prefer an evening session.

Wear something you can move in

A lightweight dress or a simple fitted outfit both work. Try sitting and walking in it before packing. Bring sandals for the approach and a wrap if you like.

Make a few baby announcement photos

An ultrasound print, tiny shoes or a handwritten note can make the announcement personal. Bring one item if you’d like to include it, then we’ll focus the rest of the session on portraits.

When should I book while on vacation?

Choose a day with room around it. It’s easier to arrive relaxed when you have time for breakfast and the drive from your hotel. If you have a short stay, share your travel dates early. Tell me if there are poses you prefer to skip so I can guide the session around your comfort.

Can my partner and children join?

Yes. We can begin with everyone together, then make room for a few individual portraits while your family takes a break. If you want a baby announcement, tell me how you plan to share it. A wide frame with space for text and a close-up of a meaningful detail give you two options.

What should I bring to the beach?

Bring water, sandals for the approach and a light layer for the ride back. If you’re choosing between outfits, test whether you can sit and walk comfortably in both. For an ultrasound print or a note, bring a small envelope so it stays flat in your bag until we use it.
