Absolutely perfect!…read more We had Carrie and Gary come out to our family reunion on the beach, and they were amazing! Fourteen people, ages 9 months to 80 years, and every picture was absolutely perfect. Very relaxed and fun, with gorgeous lighting and the background scenery perfectly chosen. Unlike other photographers we have used, you pay one price for the photo session and it includes high resolution downloads of ALL of your photos, making the pictures for our large group very cost effective. And they were GORGEOUS! I couldn't be happier with the pictures. From the moment we called to book our photo shoot, when Gary determined the sunset time and what time they would arrive, to the day of our pictures, when we asked to recreate a photo from 20 years ago of my kids, Gary was extremely helpful and professional. I would use them again in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed with your pictures! I'm so glad we trusted Carrie Alves Photography with our precious memories. Worth every penny!

She did such an amazing job getting us into position, taking quick shots and making the boys laugh which made me feel more relaxed! We were late to our sunset session due to traffic but she was so gracious and got all the shots that we asked for.

Monica was phenomenal to work with! We hired her to do family photos during our trip to the Florida…read moreKeys. She took the time to listen to my vision for the photos and found the perfect location in Islamorada. We had a big party of my side of the family, but she took the time to make each of us feel special in front of the camera. She has a way of making you relax even if you're nervous about getting your picture taken. She was also a lot of fun to talk with during the experience and has lots of fun photo ideas. She even suggested my 1 year old and I get in the water and they made for amazing pictures! I guarantee she will make you feel amazing on your special day! She is very responsive and kind and on top of it all the photos she takes are incredible! I was in tears looking at the beautiful moments she captured of me and my little girl. You will not be disappointed hiring her as your photographer for your special event. I will definitely be rehiring her if we ever make it back to the Keys area.

DONT USE THEM!! $$$$ THEY,RE FOUR TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EVERYONE IN TOWN!!!!…read moreDon't use this services, they are as professional as other professional photographers. No fee but minimum purchase AT FRONT of $350, that WON'T cover almost nothing example of prices are $40 4x6 when 2 other photographers from the same area are ($10 4x6), (16x20 $325) when others are ($95 16x20), and if you think the $350 will at least get you the digital images the price for 15 digital images is $749 and the additional images are $40 each!!!!! Others photographers prices for a CD are only $I75.. I really think people need to learn from reviews, this two sweet looking seniors, don't care about you!! only you wallet and by the time they upload the pictures takes 4 to 5 days and of curse you're provably back home and to far to legally persecute them or even complain because they don't answer back if you question them or their prices. So you'll end up stock with bunch of pictures you love but you can't access because the watermarks on them, or pay over a thousand dollars for the same services you'll get fro the same $350 or less with other professional photographer!!! We love everything else in Dustin FL, The resort, the Dinner Boat, The fishing adventure, SNUBA diving we got a full 20min video under the water with a professional underwater photographer and the video was only $85. In Dustin other services are honest and decent with their prices I guess they understand when you get back home after a vacation everyone would like to enjoy their pictures without having to pay the remaining $399 in order to get their pictures... WOW we were in shock!!!... check on their price list before you call them!!!! ---As an Update--- The Business contacted me back, we meet in the middle to a more reasonable deal, I appreciate the more fair price, specially because I really was sad to explain my family we couldn't effort the rest of our memories. Thank you Beach Portraits by Design to reconsider. Perhaps making your prices in general more competitive could be good for Dustin vacationist and for you too.

Two words for this photographer: Absolutely Fantastic! We…read morevisit Destin every year as our family vacation destination. Last year, we decided to look into hiring a photographer to take our family pictures as we were worried that the BP oil spill could possibly ruin the beautiful white sand beaches of Destin that we love. After looking into a number of photographers, we decided on Expressions Beach Portraits and could not be more pleased. They didn't charge a sitting fee and the deposit we put down went towards our order. The price was incredibly reasonable especially considering the quality of the professional photos we received. The photographer came and met us at our favorite spot and did a great job getting our two toddlers to not only look at the camera, but also smile while looking (something we have yet to be able to do ourselves!) We were able to purchase all our photos in an electronic format and had a hard time deciding which one to feature on our Christmas cards since there were so many great shots to choose from. We have since gone back to Destin and hired Expressions Beach Portraits to do another session a couple of months ago. The quality of experience, convenience and product were consistent with our first experience. We plan to have Expressions shoot all our future family vacation photos. If you're looking for a great photographer at a great price, look no further and call Expressions Beach Photographers - you won't regret it!
