Gulf Shores Family Beach PhotographyA family beach portrait taken at the West of Gulf Shores, Alabama. It was a very bright evening for this family shoot so we had to wait some to get the really good natural light setting. Many people think bright days are good for beach portraits. However, the bright light causes squinty eyes because the beach acts like a reflector. Sometimes it is best to wait to get the best look when it's a sunny day.
