Let’s meet at the beach!
Golden hour photography for families and couples along St. Pete’s coastline.
Why the beach
St. Pete’s coastline gives us exactly what we want for photos - open space, soft light, and room to move.
Golden hour along the Gulf creates natural warmth without harsh shadows. It’s flattering, relaxed, and easy on everyone - especially kids.
There’s no complicated setup.
Less distractions.
Just good light and fun times together.
That simplicity is what makes beach sessions work so well for capturing timeless photos.
What sessions are like
Beach sessions are relaxed and unhurried.
I’ll guide you into great light and give simple direction so you never feel stiff or unsure. From there, we let things unfold naturally.
Kids don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t even need to know what to do with your hands.
My job is to make it easy — and capture the moments in between.
Customer Reviews
“I highly recommend Derek! He was super cool and put us at ease during our shoot. The turn around time was lightening speed and we are thrilled with how great our photos look. Thanks a million!!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Derek. Very pleasant and patient. We had a big group of 9 and a dog. He had our pictures back to us by that evening. You definitely can’t beat the value. We will be using him again.”
“Derek did such a phenomenal job capturing our family even on a windy evening. I can’t recommend him enough! We are absolutely thrilled with all the images we got and would hire him again in an instant.”
