Professional Portrait Photographer Serving Bethany Beach
Welcome to
Portraits In The Sand
David E. G. Koster CPP, M. Photog
Photographic Portrait Artist
Getting everyone to smile at the same time during a beach photo feels impossible sometimes. The kids run toward the waves, someone squints into the sun, and you wonder if this whole idea was a mistake. As a Bethany Beach portrait photographer, Portraits In The Sand has worked along the Delaware coast for 25 years and seen every challenge you can imagine. The best portraits happen when families stop worrying and start enjoying themselves.
How It Works
Book Your Session
Call us at 302-226-9226, and we'll talk about what you want for your outdoor family photoshoot in Bethany Beach. We'll have a real conversation about your family and what matters to you. We'll pick the best time and spot that works with your schedule and the weather.
Choose Your Favorites
You'll visit the studio after your session and see everything on a big screen. You'll spot moments you didn't even know we captured. Our Bethany Beach portrait photographer will walk through which images tell your story best and figure out what you want to do with them.
Enjoy Your Memories
Your portraits show up ready to hang or share. We use archival materials that stick around for decades, not just years. Customers from outdoor family photoshoots we’ve done in Bethany Beach back in 2007 still call us. They say their kids love seeing themselves as toddlers.

Used Dave and Carrie for our 50th anniversary, and we loved the work they did. Boat - grandson-family: we just couldn't help smiling!!
Barbara F.
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!
Lisa C. - Red Sapphire Consulting
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!
