Beachy Keen Jelly Bean

Heading out to the beach for a last-minute trip with the family?

Have no fear - Julien is here! I racked my brain (and grabbed some of my favorite pics from our Ocean City trip) for some important tips to make your beach photo picture perfect.

1.  OVERCAST – The IDEAL picture will be taken when its overcast. But if not...

2.  SUN SHINY - I love the sun, but not in my pictures. When you’re shooting a picture outside, make sure the sun is shining on the subject’s face.  If you take a picture with the sun in the background, faces are going to be too dark

3.  USE FLASH – If you’re subject isn't facing the sun, go ahead and use flash. Just make sure you’re about 2 feet away (zoom in if you need to) so you don’t bleach out their faces with the flash.

4.  SQEEZE! – Set the subjects close together…and have 'em sqeeezeeee in tight!!

5. CANDID – Grabbing candids while your family is getting ready for the photo can lead to some pretty cute shots too. 

You don't need a fancy shmancy camera to take a great beach photo. Try these tips, and most important, have fun!
