Photos of Your Dog at the Beach
If you know me, you know I love dogs, photography, and traveling.
Most of the NC and SC beaches are a 3.5 hour drive from Charlotte. If you’ve thought of having your dog photographed at the beach, reach out. Let’s make it happen!
These are photos of my dogs on the beach in Hilton Head SC. My husband traveled weekly in his professional career and now that he’s retired, he has no desire to get on an airplane.
His idea of vacation is loading the dogs in the car and going to Hilton Head. I am totally on board with this plan.
Our last trip to Hilton Head was in October 2024 for Don’s birthday.
Here are some of my favorites from the trip.
As I photographer, I love partly cloudy skies. When shooting at the beach under big skies, blue skies are beautiful but they can be boring in photos.
Here’s the other reason why I love cloudy skies. The light is the prettiest when the sun is close to the horizon so if there aren’t any clouds, that means there is about a 10 minute window of time with pretty light. The sun quickly becomes really harsh and bright without any clouds. I don’t prefer that kind of light in my photos.
10 minutes isn’t a very long time. I prefer to have longer to try and create photos I’m going to like.
In October 2024, we were blessed with decent skies. I am hoping for the same in November 2025.
As a side note, if I didn’t back up my photos I would’ve lost all of these. If that would’ve happened I would have been crushed. These are some of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken of Jeff and Molly.
I started having computer problems right after this trip to Hilton Head. Here’s a link to that story: Computer Problems and Crashing External Hard Drives
I will be in Hilton Head mid November 2025. If you’re in the area or want to meet up so you’ll have photos of your dog at the beach that you can cherish forever, reach out.
If you’d like for me to meet you at another beach at another time, let me know what you’re thinking. Let’s talk about it and make it happen.
Stay tuned for more beach photos with 2 different clients who’d been talking to me for a couple of years about beach photos. We made it happen in August and it was so much fun!!
