When planning a family photo shoot many of my clients rely on me to suggest the perfect spot for their memorable photos while visiting Galveston! I am always trying to make things convenient for my  clients, especially those with multi family members or small children. Although I have my FAVORITE places to shoot I also do ON LOCATION shoots where I meet you where you are staying when renting beach front homes. Here are some of my favorite spots and samples of photos in each location. You can choose what fits your style and vision best for your family photo shoot.
Here are some more great tips for WHAT TO WEAR for your beach session!

Beachtown is a quaint little beach front community on the East End of the Island. It has so much character with beautiful landscaping, picturesque white mini pavilion and walking bridge leading to the beach. 

Pocket Park 2 is located at 11745 San Luis Pass Road on Galveston’s West End. It has convenient parking near the beach and outdoor showers to rinse off your feet. There is a nice wooden covered pavilion for shade and wooden stairs for photos along with sandy trails leading to the beach! 

Photos under the Pleasure Pier are vacationers favorites!!! In additional to being in the shade it makes for beautiful photos. Photos with the colorful Pleasure Pier in the background and shots out on the jetties are also popular in this area.

For vacationers staying on the far West End of the Island, Pointe West is a great spot to meet for photos! There is much versatility and options here for photos. Offering grassy trails, rustic wooden boardwalk to the sea, wooden steps, sandy trails and beautiful sand dunes. This is a very secluded spot and great for multi family photo shoots and there always seems to be driftwood on the beach for gorgeous photos. This spot is also one of the best for beautiful sunset photos.

There are so many beautiful beach rentals on the Island and lots of families choose to stay in beach  front homes. For larger families staying in beach front homes it is sometimes convenient to meet at your beach rental and take photos at the beach at your location.

DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!!!!!
The worst thing is to have a nasty sunburn on the day of your photos!!!

Kaley & Jeremy's wedding at the rustic but charming Sparrow Creek Ranch in Graham, Texas.
This sweet ceremony with family and friends was a fun celebration with lots of dancing under the many elegant chandeliers! The rustic charm at Sparrow Creek was the perfect backdrop for the lovely wedding of these two love birds!
​

Country weddings are sweet and so personal! Family, friends, laughter, smiles and lots and lot of LOVE!!! That best describes Micah & Trent's wedding!!!

I had a blast with this fun and sweet group of people! I love when my clients know how to have fun and give me creative control to get truly breathtaking photos at their wedding!

​Micah's bridals in the cotton field are some of my all time favorites!!! And Micah & Trents "First Look" is one for the books that I find myself telling over and over to other couples :) 

I shoot lots and lots of weddings and it is always so rewarding and precious when you can truly see and feel the love the couple has for each other and be able to capture that beautiful raw emotion for them to reflect on for a lifetime!!! !

​I hope you enjoy this sweet little slideshow video from the Taylor wedding!

I'm so excited and honored to be awarded the Silver Award for Best Photographer in the Galveston.com's 2017 BEST OF THE ISLAND AWARDS, "the Oscars of the Gulf Coast" according to The Houston Chronicle.

From Victorian to the beachfrontGalveston’s historic neighborhoods provide homeowners many unique opportunities. With hundreds of historic structures on the National Register of Historic Places, and thousands of historic houses, Galveston is one of the country’s most important concentrations of late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture. From stately mansions to quaint cottages to the conversions of downtown buildings to residential lofts, Galveston’s older neighborhoods offer a wide range of housing options.

Modern homes on Offatt’s Bayou or raised homes overlooking the beach or bay are available for homebuyers more attracted to waterfront property. From new single-family residences on the beach to condos in restored historic buildings, many new projects have begun and many are on the horizon for housing on Galveston Island.

The Island also offers more traditional housing – ranch-style homes built from the 1950s to 1980s – in neighborhoods throughout much of the Island.

Rental property is in high demand on the Island. Houses are available for rent, as well as a large number of attractive loft apartments that have been created on the second and third stories of Victorian buildings downtown. Many apartment complexes, both large and small, round out the Island’s rental market.

I love getting the calls from my regular clients to photograph the milestones in their lives. From college or high school graduation, to engagement photos, to wedding day photography; being able to be there every step of the way and capturing monumental images of their journey through life is why I love being a photographer so much! Building lasting relationships with my clients and witnessing their families grow over the years and being there to capture all the memories!!!
