Pasha Belman Photography has photographed families across Myrtle Beach for 20+ years.
Knowing this coastline well makes a real difference in your family photos. The light, the tide, the wind off the water and the quietest stretches of sand all change through the year, and every session is planned around them.
Sessions are relaxed and easy to follow. You get clear, gentle direction for the classic portraits, then space for the candid moments in between: kids running toward the water, a parent lifting a little one, cousins laughing together.
The result is a gallery of family photography that looks natural and relaxed, with true color and soft evening light, from the full group portrait to the small details you will want to remember.
Toddlers and young children are never asked to stand still for long. We walk, play and let them warm up, then fit in the posed portraits when they are ready. Sibling photos and portraits of each child happen in the moments they are at their best.
Multigenerational family photos are one of the most requested sessions in Myrtle Beach. A session can include the whole group, each household, grandparents with grandchildren, siblings, cousins and couples. A simple list of groupings planned ahead keeps everything moving while the light is at its best.
Many families book their family photos during a Myrtle Beach vacation, and many return every year to update them. It becomes a tradition: the same beach, the same golden light and a new chance to see how everyone has grown.
Family photo sessions take place across Myrtle Beach and the beaches nearby. Pasha recommends a location based on where you are staying, the season and the look you want. If you are planning your trip, my guide to things to do in Myrtle Beach covers the beaches, parks and sunset spots that photograph best.
Family galleries are typically delivered within two to three days. Every photograph is professionally edited and delivered in high resolution through a private online gallery, where you can download, share and order prints and albums.
Families come back for the relaxed experience, the natural, easy style and the care that goes into every gallery. Pasha Belman Photography holds a 5.0 rating on Google from 288 reviews. See more real family sessions in the journal.

Your Session, Step by Step
Myrtle Beach family photos are planned around golden hour, the tide and your family’s vacation schedule. Here is how a session works, from reserving your date and choosing outfits to your time on the beach and your gallery in 2 to 3 days.
Your private online gallery lets you download your photographs, share them with family and order professional prints and albums. Because every family is different in size, timing and location, pricing is shared personally. Send an inquiry and you will receive complete pricing and availability, including sunset and sunrise times for your dates.
The style is natural and true to life: soft light, real skin tones and clean color that will still feel right in twenty years. Nothing is overly filtered or tied to a passing trend. Just as important is how the session feels. Families are guided into flattering, natural groupings without stiff posing, and the quieter…
Family sessions run from thirty minutes to one hour. Thirty minutes suits a smaller family who wants a beautiful set of portraits without keeping little ones out too long. Larger and extended families usually choose forty five minutes or a full hour, which leaves time for every household, the grandparents and plenty of candid moments.
Both are beautiful. Sunset is the most popular choice, with warm, glowing light and time for longer sessions. Sunrise brings soft pastel skies, cooler temperatures and nearly empty beaches, which is ideal in the middle of summer. Sunrise sessions are offered as thirty minute sessions. Plan around exact times with the Myrtle Beach sunset calendar.

Planning Your Family Session
Answers to the questions families ask most about photos in Myrtle Beach, from cost and the best time of day to what to wear, large reunions, rainy days and how soon your finished gallery arrives.
Most families receive anywhere from 60 to 100 professionally edited photographs. The exact number depends on the length of your session and the size of your group, since larger families with more groupings naturally end up with more images.
Send an inquiry with your dates, where you are staying and how many people are coming. For a large family or reunion, include the group size. We will reply with available times, complete pricing information and everything you need to book, and plan the location and time of day around your family. A 50% retainer reserves your date, and the remaining balance is due 5 days before your session. Book as early as you can, especially for spring, summer, fall and holiday weeks, when the most requested sunset dates fill first.
There is never a fee to reschedule. If the weather turns, we work together to find another day during your stay. If the session is rained out and there is no other day that works for your family, you receive a full refund back to your original form of payment.
Soft, coordinated colors look best on the sand and in golden light: whites, creams, light blues, sage and gentle neutrals. Skip neon, large logos and busy patterns, and let everyone wear something within the same palette instead of matching exactly. The what to wear for beach family photos guide has outfit ideas for every size of group.
Often, yes. When your rental or resort sits on the oceanfront, the beach right outside can be a beautiful and easy choice, especially with little ones. Share the address when you inquire and Pasha will let you know whether the light, the dunes and the crowds work well there or whether a nearby beach would be better.
Your session starts with a short planning chat about your date, the people coming and the beach you have in mind. On the day, Pasha guides the poses, keeps young kids moving and finishes with the group portraits and a few quiet moments together. Your gallery arrives in two to three days.
Yes. Family sessions happen at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach, Murrells Inlet, Litchfield and Pawleys Island. Tell us where you are staying and we will suggest the best spot and time for the light.
Holiday weeks, spring break and summer evenings are the most requested times and fill first, so booking early is best. Short notice dates do open up, especially when the weather shifts plans, and sunrise often has openings when sunset is full.
Let us know ahead of time and we choose a location with a short, easy walk from parking or a beach access. Sessions move at a comfortable pace for every generation, and strollers and wagons are always welcome along for the walk.
Before the session you can send a simple list of the groupings that matter most to you, such as each household, the grandparents with all of the grandchildren, siblings and couples. The full group is photographed first while everyone looks fresh, and the smaller groupings follow.
Fall is the most popular season for holiday card photos. Galleries are typically delivered within two to three days, so a session in September, October or early November leaves plenty of time to design and print cards. Fall evenings book quickly, so reserving early is a good idea.
Yes. Your private online gallery lets you download your high resolution photos, share them with family and order professional prints and albums.
