Preparing for your bridal photo shoot.I absolutely love shooting bridals!!! It's absolutely one of my favorites! I think it is always a good choice for brides to have bridal photos taken prior to their wedding day. It gives you an opportunity to have a trial run with makeup, hair and how the dress feels on. It's a little experimental time to get the perfect look you are wanting for your special day! On the day of your wedding, there will be time constraints; the bridal portrait session is your chance to also relax and get comfortable with your photographer before the big day. I love witnessing my clients seeing themselves as BRIDES for the very first time! Not to mention you will have gorgeous portraits to display at your wedding reception!
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to bridal portraits. You’ve booked hair + makeup, ordered a bouquet, picked up your dress, and set your photo appointment, that’s amazing! So the best way to avoid having to reschedule due to weather is to book your wedding venue for your bridal portrait session. This gives us a chance to check out the venue and get great shots that will coordinate with your wedding day!
The day of your bridals is a perfect time to slow things down a bit and get all the fine details of not only you as a bride, but of your dress, wedding shoes, and the rings. Here are some great tips to help you plan for your bridal portrait session.
WHAT TO BRING
Main thing is to relax, be natural, and have fun! Don't worry, I will guide your poses and help you achieve the looks you want and bring out your true personality and beauty!

Your engagement photos will, more than likely, end up on "save the dates" or wedding invitations! As well as, framed and displayed at your wedding. So take a deep breathe, relax and show me the love!!! )
DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!
| ENGAGEMENT CHECKLIST:
|  |
TIPS:
- Bring a playlist of your favorite songs to set the mood!
- Focus on each other and your love!
- Practice fake laughing, LOL, yes I said it! This helps for those that are ‘camera shy’. It will start as a fake laugh, but I guarantee it will quickly turn into a real smile/laugh which will in turn make your partner naturally smile!
- Don't forget to close your eyes when you kiss!!!
- Good hygiene is a must! LOL Don't forget to shave, pluck & polish!!!
- Be affectionate and playful.
- Practice those lifts and dips!!!
- Bring your pet if you like.
- HAVE FUN!

Just a few of my FAVORITE spots to do Beach Photo Shoots on the Island!
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.

ON LOCATION
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.

Common Questions asked by my clients to help prepare for their beach photo shoot :)
- (Q) WHAT ARE THE BEST COLORS TO WEAR FOR BEACH PHOTOS?
- (A) I suggest use a basic neutral theme like gray & white, black & white, blue jean & white or khaki & white and accent it with a complimentary color for accents. Don't get too crazy with different patterns. Keep it simple, blended but fun.
Here's some sample color palettes I like :)
  |   |
 |  |
- (Q) WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR BEACH PHOTOS?
- (A) I prefer shooting in the late evening or early morning for the best skies and less blinding light. This cuts down on squinting and shadows on the faces. If I had my way I would shoot on an overcast day!
   |    |
- (Q) SHOES OR NO SHOES?
- (A) I prefer keeping it natural at the beach :) Kick those shoes to the side and feel the sand on your toes!
- (Q) WHERE TO TAKE BEACH PHOTOS IN GALVESTON?
- (A) I like to keep it simple and convenient for my clients. Most families rent beach homes on the West End of the Island during their stay so I like to meet you where you stay and just walk on over to the beach. Some of my favorite beach spots are under the Pleasure Pier, Beachtown, Point West or Pocket Park 2.

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.
