...a note from your Destin family photographer, Nash Rockett...

headshot of Rockett with destin family photographerI understand the appeal of convenience and the temptation to save a few dollars by taking your own family photos and getting them printed at a local store. However, I believe that the value of hiring a professional photographer and investing in professional prints extends far beyond the immediate savings.

With decades of experience as a professional portrait photographer, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table that goes beyond just pressing the shutter button. I know how to make the most of the beach environment, capturing the unique interplay of natural light, color, and composition to create stunning portraits that truly reflect your family’s unique dynamic. I understand how to guide you and your family through the session, helping everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which allows for genuine expressions and candid moments.

Turning these photographs into wall art rather than just printing the digital files at a local store elevates these images from mere photographs to treasured pieces of art. My professional services include post-production editing and retouching, ensuring each photo is the best it can be. The prints I offer are done on high-quality material that not only showcases the image beautifully but also ensures longevity. These aren’t just photos you’ll glance at on your phone and forget; these are pieces you’ll proudly display in your home, sparking joy and conversation for years to come.

Consider this: when you invest in a professional portrait session and high-quality prints, you’re not just paying for pictures. You’re investing in memories, in art, and in the legacy you’re creating for your family. Each time you walk past your family’s beach portrait on the wall, you’ll be reminded of that special day, the laughter, the connection, and the love. That’s a return on investment you simply can’t get from a quick smartphone snapshot or a generic store print.

I would be honored to help you create these lasting memories and look forward to the opportunity to provide you with beautiful portraits that will become treasured family heirlooms.

Getting started is super-simple…just answer a few questions on the form below and that gives us the info we need to start planning a portrait session for you. I really appreciate you considering my company for such an important event. I look forward to meeting you.

Please review the available photo session packages below that might best suit your needs. Of course, if you have questions don’t hesitate to call or text.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 
  • How do I book a photo session?
    • Our sessions are easy-peasy to book. Simply call us at 615.915.7694. We’ll take your information, then confirm our availability during your trip timeframe.
  • What size group can you shoot?
    • We cater to couples through large groups. There’s no group too small or too big for us to capture.
  • What beaches do you shoot on?
    • We typically cover from Navarre Beach up through Ft. Walton Beach, Destin, to Henderson Beach. If your accommodations are farther east, we’ll do our best to work with you. Just ask!
  • What should we wear for our beach family portrait session?
    • Once your shoot is scheduled, we send you a digital packet with wardrobe ideas. Ultimately, it’s your choice—we’re here to offer suggestions if you want them.
  • What time of day do you recommend for beach portraits?
    • Golden Hour. We mostly shoot in the late afternoon, about an hour before sunset, to capture that perfect natural daylight. Early morning sessions are available if necessary, but late afternoon is ideal.
  • What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our session?
    • A rain date is planned during our initial consultation as a contingency. Overcast days can provide perfect lighting, similar to a studio’s giant softbox. For rain-outs, refunds are provided.
  • How many photos can I expect?
    • For smaller groups, expect 50-100 exposures; for larger groups, 100-200 exposures. We shoot a lot to ensure quality, keeping the best and discarding the rest, resulting in a minimum of 50 images for small groups and 100 for large groups.
  • Are your photos edited?
    • Yes, every image is polished before leaving our studio. This includes adjustments to color, contrast, focus, and white balance. Women also receive a subtle skin polish. Remember, it’s the beach, so wind and ‘beautiful messes’ are part of the charm! Advanced editing is available upon request.
  • How long does a photo session last?
    • Depending on the group size, a session lasts between 45-90 minutes, ensuring we capture the best moments without rushing.
  • How can I pay and when is payment due?
    • Payments can be made via Venmo, PayPal, cash, or credit card (a small fee applies to credit card payments). A 30% deposit is required to secure your spot on the calendar, with the balance due on the day of the session.
  • When will I receive my photos?
    • A ‘sneak peek’ of your photos will be available within 48 hours in an online gallery. Perhaps 72 hours for larger groups. From there, you can make your selections, and your final package will be delivered digitally within 14 business days.
