Panama City Beach - Sunrise Maternity Session by Destiney Ford Photography

There is just majestic about a sunrise session.

We hit the beach around 5:30 for this gorgeous session. You’d never know the bottom fell out on the way back to my car. It POURED!! But goodness, it was all worth it!

If you are visiting PCB this year or next, now is the time to schedule! Our calendar fills quickly!

Beach Session by Destiney Ford Photography // Panama City Beach, Florida Photographer

When’s the best time to book your beach photographer?


The answer? As soon as you book your beach house.

Beach photographers book out MONTHS in advance. In fact, DFP is actually already booking into the summer of 2023. It’s crucial for you guys to book your desired photographer as soon as you know your dates.

Lighting plays a key role in how your images turn out so DFP only schedules sunrise and sunset sessions. That limits our availability for your sessions so the sooner you book, the better.

FAQ for beach sessions

  • Which Florida cities do you service?

    A - Any cities within Bay County - Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach, etc.

  • How many family members can tag along?

    A - There is not a limit for any of our packages but we do ask that you give us a headcount and a list of ages for any children being photographed. This helps us customize a workflow for your session.

  • Do we need to tell you anything specifically for our session?

    A - We like to know how many family members will be attending, the ages of any children being photographed, AND we would like a list of anyone that has any disabilities that may prevent them from being able to walk long distances, hold children, etc. Again, this helps us create a better workflow for your session.

  • What do we wear?

    Coordinate in dressy-casual attire. We do not recommend wearing the exact the same thing. When you’re too matchy, your images lose depth and details. It’s best to coordinate colors and patterns rather than wear the exact same attire or color. DFP offers a style guide board once you have scheduled a session with us.

We look forward to another amazing year!
