Anyone live near Cocoa Beach?

We are planning a Disney trip in September. We plan to go to Cocoa Beach one day and I want to get some family photos done there. Does anyone have any good recomendations of a photographer in the area? I have done some searching, but would love to hear from someone with personal experience. I mean, I have no idea when we would ever be able to have family photos done on the beach again, so its important. Thanks!

I live really nearby but have no recomendations for a photographer. I would recomend going to a different beach because Cocoa is really crowded and has tons of buildings on the beach. I would recomend Playlinda or Apollo Beach. They are both part of Canaveral National Seashore so absolutely no buildings on the beach and it's much more like a natural type setting KWIM? Of course that is really up to you on what you want when you go. The only photographers I know of in the area are nature photographers from another forum I go on.

We got back from out trip to Disney World just a few weeks ago. We went to Cocoa Beach and I didn't see one building anywhere. I too wanted family photos on the beach (first time to the beach for my 5-yr old twin boys). I had planned to use a tripod and the timer on my camera. DH forgot to bring the tripod so we just snagged someone on the beach to snap some photos for us. Worked for me...better than having no photo! The beach wasn't really that crowded either. We went to a restaurant that was on the pier and there was actually a photographer in the restaurant asking to take our photo for us. I tried to find her after we ate to see if she'd snap the photos for us for a small fee, but she disappeared.

So maybe give them a call and see if she can help you?!!
