Tulum Photo Session for Couples, Friends, Families & Singles: A Personal Touch to Your Vacation Memories

If you’ve ever dreamed of walking away from your trip with more than just souvenirs—something tangible, beautiful, and uniquely you—then a Tulum Photo Session with Julie Healy might be just what you’re looking for. For around $370 per group, up to six people, you get about an hour of dedicated photography in some of Tulum’s most picturesque spots, with the promise of 100+ professionally edited high-resolution images.
What makes this experience stand out? First, you’re not just getting a quick snapshot. Julie brings 30 years of industry experience as a model, actress, and photographer, which means she has a keen eye for flattering poses and authentic moments. Second, her local insider knowledge unlocks access to secret scenic locations beyond the usual tourist spots—think hidden cenotes, lesser-known beaches, or private hotel grounds.
A potential consideration? The session is weather-dependent—if it rains, rescheduling is straightforward but requires contact at least 8 hours in advance. Also, while the price is reasonable for professional photography, those seeking extensive editing or a longer shoot will need to pay extra.
This tour suits anyone eager to boost their vacation with a personalized photo experience—whether you’re a couple celebrating an anniversary, a family capturing a special trip, or friends wanting fun, candid shots. Even solo travelers who just want to indulge in a bit of glamour will find this a memorable addition to their Tulum adventure.

An In-Depth Look at Your Tulum Photo Adventure

The Starting Point: Dos Ceibas Hotel or Your Choice
Your experience begins either at the beautiful Dos Ceibas Hotel on Tulum’s beach or a location of your choosing—your Airbnb, hotel, or any other scenic spot. The flexibility here is a real plus, allowing you to customize your shoot to fit your plans or favorite scenery.
The meeting spot at Dos Ceibas offers easy access to the stunning Tulum beachfront, which features a mix of natural beauty and laid-back luxury. If you prefer a more private, personal backdrop—like a quaint cenote or boutique hotel garden—it’s definitely worth requesting this when booking.

In approximately one hour, Julie takes you around her chosen spots, adjusting for the best lighting and backgrounds. She offers posing tips, but the emphasis is on capturing natural, authentic moments—whether it’s a candid laugh, a tender embrace, or playful group shots.
If the weather cooperates, you’ll enjoy shooting during “golden hour”—early morning or late afternoon—when the light is soft and flattering. Julie is happy to start early for that especially magical glow.
