The experience
For travelers who want proper photos of their time in Tulum without wrestling with a tripod and a timer, this private photoshoot pairs you with Gavin Higgins, lead photographer at Tulum Photography, for a session set against the town's beaches and jungle edges. With a decade behind the camera and a track record built on hundreds of clients, the format is designed to feel low-pressure even for people who normally dread being photographed.
The session itself runs 60 to 90 minutes at a location chosen around the meeting point where jungle, white sand, and turquoise water come together β the photographer adjusts the exact spot on the day based on weather, wind, and seaweed conditions, as well as your own preferences. Pickup happens in a five-seater car with room for four guests, so the arrangement is built for couples, families, or small friend groups rather than large parties. Once on location, the direction is kept simple: you show up and the photographer manages posing, framing, and the technical side of the shoot.
Turnaround is part of the appeal here. You get a sneak-peek image the same day, useful for an immediate social post, while the complete set of 20 to 30 high-resolution edited images arrives within three days β fast enough to share while you're still on your trip rather than waiting until you're back home.
This is a good fit for travelers who want quality images of a specific trip or milestone without a lengthy production, and who'd rather have a guided, structured shoot than attempt their own beach photos. Because it's private rather than a group session, it also works for those who want more control over timing and location than a walk-up beach photographer would offer. It's marked suitable for all physical fitness levels, with prams or strollers welcome for infants and small children, specialized infant seats available on request, and service animals permitted.
The listed inclusions cover the photography time itself, the same-day preview image, the 20 to 30 high-resolution final images, fast delivery of the edited set, and bottled water during the session. No exclusions are specified, but the package does describe a defined scope of time, images, and people; if you want a longer session, additional images, or extra people included, those are available as add-on purchases beyond the base package.
Since pickup is arranged through a five-seater vehicle with capacity for four guests, plan your group size around that limit when booking, and expect the exact shoot location to be confirmed around conditions on the day rather than fixed in advance.
