● Know your vibe.
Do you love light and airy? Moody and dramatic? Playful candids or traditional poses with everyone looking at the camera? There’s no right answer, but knowing your style helps you find a photographer who can deliver exactly what you’re picturing.
● Peek beyond the grid.
Don’t just scroll Instagram. Ask to see a full family session... or better yet, one with a group size or age range like yours. That’s how you’ll know if their work fits your family, not just their highlight reel.
● Ask about backup plans.
Beach weather can be wild, what happens if it rains? What if their gear breaks? Do they carry liability insurance? Pros carry insurance, have clear rescheduling policies, and know how to pivot with a smile.
● Book early.
Myrtle Beach is a hot spot for vacations and beach photos, so don’t wait. Some photographers book out weeks (or months for peak summer season and holidays) in advance, especially for sunset sessions. If photos are a priority, lock it in early!
