Portraits In The Sand

Professional Portrait Photographer Serving Dewey Beach

Welcome to Portraits In The Sand

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

Family beach vacations create memories that last a lifetime, but capturing those moments authentically takes more than pointing a camera. Between managing excited children, dealing with harsh sunlight, and hoping everyone looks natural instead of stiff, many families end up with snapshots instead of portraits they'll actually want to display. That's where professional expertise makes all the difference. With over 25 years of experience as a portrait photographer serving Dewey Beach, we know how to capture genuine connection and create portraits you'll treasure for generations.

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. What a lucky find....we could not be happier with our treasured memories of our wonderful family time. Thank you.

I am so grateful for Carrie and Memories 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!

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