Photography sessions · Panama City Beach & the Emerald Coast

Hi — I'm Ed Gutentag.
Nice to virtually meet you.

After more than 30 years in the film industry and photography world, I've realized something important.

I genuinely love creating beautiful images and working with good people more than I love chasing overpriced "industry rates."

So I've decided to simplify things. For a limited time, I'm offering relaxed, affordable sessions on the Emerald Coast.

What I shoot

Seven kinds of session.

Most bookings are one of these. Mix and match if you've got something specific in mind — just message me.

Something else? Just ask.

Selected moment · Golden hour

The window when the light is right only lasts about twenty minutes.

What you get

Every session, same simple deal.

No tiers. No upsells you didn't ask for. Just relaxed time on the beach and beautiful photos to take home.

one

30-minute sessions

Long enough to get the shots. Short enough that the kids don't melt down.

two

Every image I shoot

You keep the full set, not just the selects. Nothing held back.

three

Up to 10 selects

Professionally color-corrected and ready to print or share.

four

Additional edits

Want more selects fully retouched? Easy add-on at booking.

five

Cinematic drone option

Add an Emerald Coast sunset drone shot with you in the frame.

More than photography

I'll point you to the good stuff.

After years living and working around Panama City Beach, I've become pretty good at helping families maximize their vacation experience too.

Instead of spending the entire trip crowded on the beach or stuck doing tourist-trap stuff, I love pointing people toward the spots most visitors never find:

The best dolphin tours

Less crowded beach spots

Freshwater springs like Morrison Springs

Great local food spots

Scenic hidden gems

Fun things that don't drain your wallet

So your session can become more than "taking photos." It can actually become part of an unforgettable vacation experience.

Who's behind the camera

A retired filmmaker. A relaxed shoot.

A world traveler and lifelong photographer with a cinematic eye — and a relaxed approach that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I bring decades of experience to every session, but the best photos happen when people actually relax. Most of my clients tell me afterwards that the session felt more like a walk on the beach with a friend than a photo shoot.

At this stage in life, it's less about building a giant business and more about creating meaningful work with great people. If that sounds like the kind of session you've been looking for, let's talk.
