10 reviews of Melanie Barrett Photography Beach Portrait Packages

Read what other TripShock! travelers think about the Melanie Barrett Photography Beach Portrait Packages. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.

Welcome to the Emerald Coast! If you are a returning visitor, glad to have you back! If it’s your first time here, you are going to LOVE it! The white sand and emerald green water are unlike any other. You can choose the time of day you would like to schedule your beach portraits. Colors look best against the white sand, but if you have your heart set on wearing white, it’s completely your choice. I would love to spend time with your family, capturing your lifestyles. My specialty is catching that candid moment when your child is just being himself…chasing the seagulls, or walking down the beach. These are the portraits you will treasure forever. And they will bring your mind back to the place where you created memories.

Activity Highlights

→ Great with families and young children.
→ Three discounted packages to choose from.
→ Sunset or sunrise sessions available for best light.
→ Professional editing services available.
→ Props available for children upon request.

Inclusions
● Taxes
● Props (On request)
● Prints (based on package)
● Low resolution image for Facebook
● Photo session
● Basic photo edits
● Shipping

Exclusions
● CD (Available for purchase)

Restrictions
● There will be a $75 additional fee for families of 7-12, $150 for 13-18, and $225 for 19-24.
● These packages cannot be used for events such as weddings or vow renewals.
● Due to the limited sunlight for the sessions, it is best to be ready at the exact time the photographer schedules.
● Packages are meant for parties under 25. Please call 800-450-7139 for parties over 20.
● Special mini-session package is the only package that the photographer will choose the time and location. Sunset is not guaranteed with this package.

Additional Information
● The location for the session can be at a public beach access or behind a condo, home or hotel that sits on the beach.
● Props are great for children because they keep them occupied and somewhat under control during sessions.
● The photographer suggests khaki and white for the photo session, but bright and fluorescent colors (no writing or patterns) work well too.
● Additional prints, albums, CD and more can be purchased ala carte after the session. Please ask the photographer for more details during or after the session.
● Sometimes the weather looks intimidating, and the skies are grey--those skies can be pretty in pictures--but the first strike of lightning and we are off the beach! If the session is early on, we will reschedule. We don't take chances with lightning because there have been people in Destin who have been struck by lightning in years past. Even the lifeguards will clear the beach at the first strike of lightning!

Cancellation Policy
In the event the client cancels the sitting, the deposit may go towards a portrait session on another date. Rain days will be rescheduled. If we find it necessary to cancel the sitting in the event of an emergency, the full deposit will be returned to the client.

  • Great photos, great value - very nice photographer

    We got the min-package with a 15 minute session and the ownership (copyright) to 2 photos of our choice. This was a great value, Melanie did a terrific job with our kids (and spent more than 15 minutes with us, a full half hour actually) and she was very responsive, easy to get a a hold of, easy to deal with and her photos were great! Very highly reccommend this to anyone.

  • Melanie Barrett Photography

    I am in awe with our family pictures! By speaking with Melanie over the phone, I knew she was very personable.
    Then when we met her on the beach for our photo shoot, it confirmed everything. She was prompt, courteous and learned our names and our boys' names and was so gracious. I felt good about the photo shoot but really didn't know how the pictures would turn out since most of our previous pictures looked so "canned". I was in for a pleasant surprise...MELANIE CAPTURED THE PERSONALITY OF OUR FAMILY PERFECTLY!
    I can't stop looking at our pictures because I am so satisfied. You have a wonderful talent, Melanie, and I now have my "perfect family picture.

  • Not only did Melanie out do herself with the pictures she took, but she also was such a pleasure working with. The pictures she capture of our family were absolutely amazing, and affordable. She was able to get my three year old to smile for every picture. She capture memories that will last a life time. I highly recommend her services!

  • Our Session With Melanie Was Wonderful!

    She worked very hard to make sure that we got the portraits that we wanted--even after having to reschedule 3 times due to rain. We have 5 children, and this was the easiest professional portrait session we have ever had done anywhere! She was fantastic with my kids, and they absolutely loved her. Melanie is professional, kind, and very quick! She seemed like an old friend from the very beginning! And our portraits... they are gorgeous!

  • What an AWESOME experience!! Melanie was just great. First class service. I was a little nervous about ordering a portrait session online with a photographer I had never met before but Melanie far exceeded my expectations! She was very kind and patient with my kids. She is also very prompt in returning calls and made sure we knew where to go for the session. She was also very prompt getting pictures posted online and answered any question I had which I really appreciated. You can't go wrong with Melanie! Thanks Melanie so much for making our Destin vacation so memorable!!

  • Purchased the tripshock deal for melanie barrett photography. Oh my goodness, the entire beach photo session was amazing. Melanie took us to a secluded area of the beach, and the background was beautiful. We have a 6 year old and a 4 year old, and they loved miss melanie right off the bat, she was warm and friendly. Loved that she took photos of the kids being natural, nothing forced. Melanie has a gift for taking the perfect picture. Her customer service is amazing. Would definitely recommend her! Simply Won't find a better deal than the one i received from purchasing on tripshock. I did a lot of research, and her price was awesome. We already received our print order, and the quality is stunning! 5 stars for melanie and tripshock!!

  • This was an excellent booking. The photos turned out way better than expected and the prices were very reasonable. Most photographers want $300 just for a sitting fee! This photographer is highly recommended.
