Family Portrait...need beach photographer

Looking for a great photographer for a family beach photo during our trip to Grayton. Any recommendations?

I did alot of searching online for one last year, and ended up using Mari's Paradise Images. www.destinweddingphotographer.com, or 850-314-7868. I found her ordering easy, you can view everything online and order online. She delivers proofs while you are still there, but you can wait to order until you get back home which was nice for family that might want picks. She was limited w/ large canvas capabilities.

As far as the shoot itself, she preferred to go down to the destin area on the beach owned by military (sorry, forgot the name)---all kinds of photog's were there at sunset. Lots of nice backgrounds and the only people you have to worry about getting in your shot are other photogs/guests. I know she said she would come to where we wanted as well, I just chose to go where she preferred--- thinking, she might work better there. I just wanted beach and sunset in my pics.

She is laid back, easy to work with AND so affordable. If I remember right we paid around $175 for the shoot and got all of our proofs which were real prints---no proof written all over them. They were 4x6 size as well. We had kids that she worked well with too.

I am sure there are pleny of photogs that are great, just thought I would share our experience.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of recommendations. I hear Dawn Anderson is good.

And I say this not to tick off any of our resident photographers, but I did my own photos last year. Bought a tripod and used the timer on my digital. I got B/W, sepia and color photos on a perfect evening. They turned out great (not as good as a professional), and my cost was nothing but photo paper.

Sheree Williams is the original beach photo lady @ 850-830-5521. I love Dawn as well.
