Your complete resource for Gulf Shores Alabama family beach photography by Shelley B Photography. Location guides, tips, comparisons, and everything you need to plan the perfect session.
Shelley B Photography has been photographing families along the Alabama Gulf Coast for years — Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, Fort Morgan, and everything in between. This page is your complete resource: location guides, tips for planning your session, comparisons of different spots, and answers to the most common questions we get from families visiting this stretch of coast.
We shoot with a Hasselblad medium format camera at 100 megapixels, we bring two photographers to every session, we book one family per sunset, and we come to you. Browse our Gulf Shores family portrait gallery to see our work — then reach out here when you're ready to book.
