Tybee Sunrise Photo Session

Preparing for a Tybee sunrise photo session

The best thing you can do to ensure a successful Tybee sunrise photo session experience is get everyone to bed early. Sounds easy enough, right? However you could make this easier for you and them. Have everyone up a bit earlier than normal the day before and plan a full day. This way when you suggest going to bed early for your session they’re tired and ready to rest.

Therefore I suggest something like dinner at your house rental with fresh seafood from Bubba Gumbo’s which alleviates fighting a long line and wait time at a restaurant and ensures a quality hour for hitting the pillow. Also, if you have young ones and tend to have dinner a bit early perhaps follow it up with a sunset dolphin cruise with Captain Derek’s Dolphin Adventure Tour.

Wardrobe prep for Tybee sunrise photo session

First you might be thinking what should you wear. If I may, please allow me to suggest visiting my FAQ page for some recommendations. Next you should invest in your friends, hangers and irons. Don’t plan on your photographer editing out wrinkles. It’s not only way more time consuming than you could imagine it lessens everyone’s confidence. After all, how confident can you be if you see a wrinkled mess in the mirror?

Embracing your Tybee sunrise photo session

After you’ve done all of the above and you arrive well rested and dressed to perfection then just be you. You did all the prepping and planning and now it’s time to be in the moment. Let things happen as they will and don’t try to control much here.

Actually, the less you control during your session the more natural results you get and love. (I promise.) Most importantly, don’t be afraid to let the kids, or the adults for that matter, get sandy or wet. I know it seems counterintuitive, but again you just need to trust me on this.

The only list you’ll need

If you do want to come with a group of family shots or if you have a certain tradition when it comes to photos a list is smart. You can bring it on paper or even text it to me so I have it on my phone. Makes sense since your phones will stay home…and dry.
