Cape Cod is the perfect setting for a Family Portrait
Your family hasn’t all been together in one place in how long? Celebrate your family reunion, celebrate an anniversary or a special birthday with a beautiful Cape Cod family portrait on the beach at sunset. Keep this special time alive year-round with stunning portraits to display at home.
Get ready for a fun, relaxed, and unforgettable experience! Your Cape Cod beach photo session isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about creating memories that you, your kids, and even their future kids will cherish forever.
💙 It’s about FAMILY.
📸 It’s about laughter, connection, and love.
🌅 And yes—EVERYONE will have a blast!
Let’s make this a session you’ll remember long after the sun sets! 🌊✨
Every family is unique—whether you’re a family of 3 or a family of 23—and your Cape Cod family pictures should reflect that! With 25 years of experience, I know how to make sessions stress-free, fun, and full of natural moments.
How Your Cape Cod Family Session Works
📸 The Big Group Photo First – We start with a beautiful family portrait while everyone (especially the little ones!) is still fresh. I’ll capture this at one beach location early in the session.
🌅 The Perfect Sunset Shot – At the end of the session, when the light is most stunning, we’ll take another full family portrait in a different spot—this is when we try to catch that gorgeous Cape Cod sunset!
💙 All the Important Groupings – In between, I’ll photograph:
✔ Grandparents & grandkids
✔ Siblings & cousins
✔ Just the girls, just the guys
✔ Couples & individual families
✔ Candid moments of kids (and adults!) playing & walking along the beach (time permitting)
Special Requests Welcome!
I like to call myself “Your Personal Paparazzi”—if you have a fun idea, I’ll make it happen! The number of images depends on your family size, groupings, and candids, but no matter what, there’s no extra charge for extended families!
Let’s make this session a fun, relaxed experience that captures real moments and beautiful memories—all set against the stunning backdrop of Cape Cod’s beaches! 🌊

“Anyone who can get twelve people, ages 3+ and older, to look at the camera, relax and smile, all at the same time, is a true professional at their craft.”
This was our second experience with Cassandra! She is absolutely the best! Anyone who can get twelve people, ages 3+ and older, to look at the camera, relax and smile, all at the same time, is a true professional at their craft. Her work is not only wonderful, but the products are exceptional. She is on time, efficient and provided a quick response to all of our questions and concerns. In less than a month, we had all of our photos and all the products we ordered through her in hand. Would definitely go with Cassandra for a third time!
Best Locations for Your Cape Cod Family Pictures
As a Cape Cod family photographer for over 25 years, I know that the perfect location makes all the difference! Whether you’d like your session at the beach near your summer cottage or resort or a place that holds special meaning for your family, I’ll help you find the ideal spot for your portraits.
Choosing the Perfect Cape Cod Beach for Your Family Session
Not sure where to go? No worries—I’ll help you pick a beach that’s:
✅ Convenient to where you’re staying
✅ Easily accessible for all ages & abilities
✅ Best suited for weather conditions (wind direction matters!)
No matter the location, we always schedule sessions near sunset—the light is soft, no one’s squinting, the crowds have thinned out, and parking is easier! 🌅
Sunset or Overcast? Either Way, Your Photos Will Be Stunning!
Some evenings bring jaw-dropping colorful sunsets, while others offer a soft, dreamy overcast sky. Either way, I’ll make sure your Cape Cod family pictures turn out beautifully!
With 25 years of experience photographing families on Cape Cod, I’ll guide you every step of the way to create a stress-free, fun, and memorable portrait session during your Cape Cod vacation.

What If It Rains?
No Worries, I’ve Got You Covered! 🌦📸
New England weather is unpredictable – one minute it’s sunny, the next it’s raining! And the beach weather can be completely different from what’s happening at your cottage or resort. That’s why I keep a close eye on the forecast all summer long (weather is my second obsession after photography!).
How We’ll Handle Weather Concerns
✔ I’ll stay in touch the day before and the day of your session to discuss any potential weather issues.
✔ If the forecast is questionable, we’ll make the final call together about 2 hours before your session.
✔ Cloudy skies? No problem! Some of the most breathtaking sunsets happen on overcast days.
✔ We only reschedule for rain or excessive wind – otherwise, we go for it!
Built-In Flexibility for Reschedules
I know many families are only on Cape Cod for a week, so I carefully schedule only one family session per evening and keep some nights open for reschedules.
And here’s the good news: In 24+ years, I’ve NEVER had to completely cancel a session! We always find a way! 🌅
If We Can’t Reschedule
If, for some reason, we can’t reschedule due to weather or other circumstances, I’ll refund your deposit (minus 4% fee) – or you can apply it toward a future session.
Your Cape Cod family pictures should be a fun, stress-free experience, and I’ll do everything possible to make it happen! 💙
📅 Let’s book your session – clouds or shine, it’s going to be amazing!
When Should You Book Your Cape Cod Beach Photo Session?
Right now! It’s never too early to secure your spot. I only book one family portrait session on the beach per day, and I keep a few dates open each week for weather reschedules – which means my calendar fills up fast!
To ensure you get the date you want, I recommend booking as soon as you know your Cape Cod vacation dates. It’s also best to schedule your session early in your trip so we have flexibility to reschedule if needed.

What Should We Wear for Our Cape Cod Beach Photo Session?
Great outfit choices are a key ingredient to stunning Cape Cod beach portraits!
✔ Keep it classic for a timeless look – Choose a 3-color palette and let each family member add their own personal touch.
✔ Avoid the “team photo” look – Coordinating is great, but everyone in the same exact outfit? Not so much!
✔ Barefoot is best – Shoes and sand don’t mix, so kick them off and embrace the beachy vibe!

After booking, you’ll get a Session Guide which will go into more detail about “What to Wear”, complete with color palettes and styling tips that you can share with everyone in your group. If you can’t wait, download the one below and start planning now! 🌊📸💙

Can we take photos during our session?
I kindly ask that family members refrain from using cameras or cell phones during our session.
To create the best possible portraits, I need everyone’s full attention, especially when working with young children and pets. Extra cameras can be distracting and take away from the relaxed, natural experience I want for your family.
Please share this policy with everyone attending the session so we can keep the focus on capturing beautiful, genuine moments together!
