Beach Family Photos, Ocean City, MD | Family Photographer, Dana Marie Photography

Such a fun time out on the beach with this family from out of State enjoying the beach.  The weather was incredible and the sunset just gorgeous as we took their extended family photos on the beaches of Ocean City, MD.  I love navy and khaki for beach photos, they really turned out great!

Beach Family Portraits for Jeep Week, Dana Marie Photography | Ocean City, MD Photographer

Loved meeting this sweet family on the beach in Ocean City during Jeep Week for their beach family portraits.  Their kids were so cute and loved being out in the sand right at sunset.  The tide had left the coolest largest tidal pools right down the middle of the beach and we had the most fun playing in them together.  One of my favorite photos was her holding daddy's hand from behind, so sweet <3

Senior Beach Portraits of a Frontiertown Cowboy | Dana Marie Photography, Ocean City, MD Beach Photographer

When Mama booked the session and told me her son was a cowboy at Frontiertown during the summer, I got really excited about his senior portraits.  How fun to have my own private show of the cowboy and his whip and pistol twirling.  I knew I wanted to do something fun and crazy with lighting this young man's many talents and we pulled off all the tricks of the trade to create memory lasting photos to save for his senior year in high school.

Sunrise Surprise Ocean City, MD Engagement Beach Proposal | Dana Marie Photography, Beach Photographer

Sunrise Surprise!  It was an eventful morning on the beach, I sitting alone with my camera just "casually shooting the sunrise" as this beautiful couple was to take a seat behind me.  Here I sit, alone, quiet when into the scene comes a couple of men who I am pretty sure haven't been to bed yet!  They clearly wanted to make some new friends on the beach that morning and this soon to be potential groom and I aced through the banter and pulled off a surprise beach proposal as the sun peaked over the horizon.  It was gorgeous and she was over the moon at the proposal her man had pulled off for her!  Congratulations to the two of you and may you have a lifetime of happiness together!

Man's best friend!  Meet Roscoe, this sweet guy is up there in dog years and has lost most of his hearing.  Friendly as can be and just lovable, I was excited to spend an evening with him and his owner, Russell Hammond of Russell T Hammond Surveying down at Assateague on the Eastern Shore of MD.

Stephen Decatur High School Senior Photographer, Ocean View, DE | Dana Marie Photography

This stunning senior was so much fun to photograph at the fields and waterfront property of James Farm in Ocean View, DE.  She is a Stephen Decatur High School senior and when she described what she envisioned for her senior photos I knew just the place!  We had a lot of fun making the trip over and photographing her playing in her books in the grassy field before making the long hike through the woods to get to the waterfront property.  We made it to the beach just as the sun was setting and it was spectacular!
