Mastering Beach Portraits
THE COMPLETE BEACH PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE
After 12+ years photographing families on the beach, I’m teaching you the complete process I use from planning to final gallery.
Light, settings, weather, posing, composition + workflow — so you can walk onto the beach knowing what to do.

The sun disappeared behind the clouds and my light completely changed.
My clients had dark eyes, harsh shadows or hotspots on their faces.
The wind was blowing hair, dresses — and basically everything else — everywhere.
I found a pretty background... but the light there was terrible.
I spent HOURS in Lightroom trying to fix things I should've fixed in camera.
I was constantly guessing.
Where do I put them?
Which way should they face?
What setting do I change?
What do I do when the light changes AGAIN?
Eventually, I stopped guessing and built a process I could repeat at every beach session.
And that’s exactly what I’m teaching you inside Mastering Beach Portraits.

Beach sessions used to make me cry from overwhelm... and I almost quit.
I didn’t know what to do when...

“It's so perfect. Love it. Well worth the investment!”
I absolutely love Mastering Beach Portraits with Hannah Ruth. This course is incredible, it's dynamic. It's so informative, and she teaches you how to use beach lighting in any setting, in any time of day. It will transform the way you do business, and help you not get stuck in just using sunset lighting. She's so good at showing you how to take pictures at the beach all day long in any setting, at any location so it's well worthy investment so you're not limited with your clientele about taking photoshoots during the day. It's so perfect, love it, well worthy investment!!!
I’ve been photographing real families, couples + seniors on the beaches of South Carolina for 12+ years.
And everything I teach inside Mastering Beach Portraits comes from actually doing this — hundreds of sessions in harsh sun, clouds, wind, changing light, crazy weather and everything in between.
I created this course because I want to teach you the things that took me years of trial + error to figure out.
So you can spend less time second-guessing yourself and more time actually enjoying the session you're photographing.
