What’s your favorite beach memory?

Here at The Sea Oats Motel in Destin memories are being made everyday.

There’s nothing like watching a toddler the first time they step onto the beach. Their eyes light up with amazement at the waves, and the sand beneath their toes. Be sure to capture those memories, take lots of pictures and videos. It is amazing  how quickly memories fade.

One great way to keep memories alive is scrapbooking. Many enjoy scrapbooking as a hobby, which you may find you enjoy as well. This is a great way to spend time together as a family and preserve your beach memories!

There are many clever and unique ideas how to preserve and accent your photographs.

One idea that makes for great beach photos is to dress everyone in the family alike in white shirts and blue jeans. The combination of the white shirt and blue jeans stands out against the background of the white sandy beach and emerald green waters. This simple idea is a great way to capture a special moment together as a family.

You can also add special touches to make the photo stand out.  Try drawing a heart shape with the date on it in the sand. This will serve as a reminder of when the picture was taken as well as make a conversation piece.

Another fun idea, especially if you have someone to take the photograph for you (this doesn’t have to be a professional by the way) is to have everyone hold hands and jump up together.

Try different angles, different focal points. Even black and white beach photographs are awesome.

There are so many ways to create and capture these special moments. Sunsets and sunrises are very popular photo ops so make sure to capture these whenever you can.

Catch your children doing something fun and snap a picture. Line up their flip flops and sand buckets and snap another.

Once you get started don’t be surprised if you just can’t help but snap pictures all day long. Your family may get annoyed but that’s okay, this is fun and you are keeping those memories preserved!
