Our pictures were well done and so professional looking! The color, background, and everything about them was
beautifully done! This had been on my bucket list for a very long time. It finally happened and I am so glad we chose Portraits in the Sand!

David was great to work with. He was responsive and he worked with us to find a place to where my mom (who has mobility challenges) could easily walk, while still getting the perfect beach shot.
The portraits were beautiful and the quality was great for the price. I would definitely recommend him.

Dave and Carrie are great! We had a private wedding ceremony in Lewes and are so happy with the photos! We appreciate the attention to detail and the time they took to make sure we have lasting memories we love. They made our day really special!

We celebrated our 50th anniversary with a family vacation in Bethany Beach. I told them all, “ What I want is family photos!” Kristin did the research and discovered Portraits in the Sand. What a lucky find....we could not be happier with our treasured memories of our wonderful family time. Thank you.

My family had a great experience with Portraits In The Sand. We had pictures taken several years ago while on a vacation. These quality framed photos are center piece and catch your eye as you walk up stairs.

I treasure our photos from 2007 of my husband, dog and me. My favorite is a black and white photo of our feet with my niece, husband and their boys with our Scottie in colour! In 2011 I had Dave take photos of our almost year old granddaughter. The photos were a gift to my son and daughter-in-law. Fabulous keepsakes!

Dave's photos of our family are some of my most prized possessions.
We have used him twice-- as our family has grown. He is easy to work with, wonderfully artistic, I highly recommend him.

I had our family portrait done several years ago and love looking at it over my fireplace. It evokes happy memories and brings summer into my house year-round! Portraits in the Sand did great work and was easy to schedule and work with. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful for Carrie and Portraits in The Sand. They introduced me to their picture organizing platform, walked me through the process and offered help along the way. Almost 30,000 photos later, I am ready to start printing books for my God-children, husband and his family. They made it so easy!

Portraits in the Sand is the best! They have done our photos several times and we have nothing but great things to say. We purchased a large picture for over our fireplace and if our house ever caught on fire, that would be what I would run back in for! I get so many compliments on it. Would definitely recommend them to others!

Dave did our engagement portraits. We were a little nervous about have our pictures professional taken. Dave was friendly and helped us feel at ease during our session. He made us laugh and helped us forget that he was there taking pictures. I found Dave to be knowledgeable and very professional. He had patience while we decided on which portrait to turn into our large wall hanging. I was impressed with his knowledge of photography and his ability to answer all my questions in a timely manner. Dave provided an experience that was memorable for my fiance and I. We now have our large wall canvas displayed in our home and enjoy the compliments we receive when company comes over. If you are looking for a professional photographer who knows his craft, provides an excellent service than I would recommend Dave Koster.

Dave is a very professional photographer, he is very knowledgeable with great skills. There are many people running around digital cameras but can't produce what he does. Dave helped us with a Boy Scout project and we were very happy with the results.
