We come down to Gulf Shores as often as we can, but our favorite time of year to come down here is once the heat has dissipated and the people have all gone back to work and school. Photos from the Week

Beach Photography Day
We stayed an extra day or two at Gulf Shores so I was able to take a day and get some actual beach photography worked up. These shots were taken very late in the day and were all taken on a very calm perfect weather day. I had come down to the beach when my…
