Frequently Asked Questions

Does Photography Shark photograph sessions in Marshfield?

Yes. Chris McCarthy photographs regularly in Marshfield — at Green Harbor, Rexhame Beach, Humarock, and woodland locations along Old Elm Street. Photography Shark is based in nearby Rockland, about 10 minutes from Marshfield.

What outdoor locations in Marshfield does Photography Shark use?

Green Harbor and Rexhame Beach for family and senior sessions with nautical texture and open ocean horizon. Humarock for quieter, more atmospheric sessions alongside the North River. Woodland and field locations near Route 139 for classic New England fall portraits.

How much do Marshfield portrait sessions cost?

Studio headshot sessions are $395 for 30 minutes with 10 fully retouched images. On-location sessions are $495. Add-ons: additional session time $150, outfit change $150, additional person $200, group shot $100. Turnaround 3-5 business days. Sessions include a pre-session consultation to plan location and timing.

What is the best time for outdoor family photos in Marshfield?

Late afternoon — roughly 4:30 to 6:30 PM in summer — at Green Harbor and Rexhame Beach produces consistently excellent results. The light drops behind the dunes, creating soft indirect fill over the beach with deep blue-green water behind the family.

Can we do indoor sessions at the Photography Shark studio if Marshfield outdoor conditions are difficult?

Yes. The Photography Shark studio at 83 E Water Street, Rockland MA is about 10 minutes from Marshfield and offers a private, professionally lit indoor environment as an alternative or complement to an outdoor Marshfield session.

How does Chris McCarthy approach family sessions in Marshfield?

Chris starts with movement — a walk along the water's edge, kids running, parents interacting naturally — before moving to more structured group setups. This sequencing produces genuine expressions and relaxed images rather than stiff, over-posed group shots.
