Welcome to
Portraits In The Sand

David E. G. Koster CPP, M. Photog
Photographic Portrait Artist

Getting everyone to smile at the same time during a beach photo feels impossible sometimes. The kids run toward the waves, someone squints into the sun, and you wonder if this whole idea was a mistake. As a Bethany Beach portrait photographer, Portraits In The Sand has worked along the Delaware coast for 25 years and seen every challenge you can imagine. The best portraits happen when families stop worrying and start enjoying themselves.

We celebrated our 50th anniversary with a family vacation in Bethany Beach. I told them all, “ What I want is family portraits!” Kristin did the research and discovered Portraits In The Sand.
