I'M Kaylie B. Poplin 

If there is one thing that I believe - it is that family matters. I am a 30A photographer, wife and mom by birth and adoption. 

I remember vacationing along the Florida Coast during the Summers with my family. Grandparents, parents, sisters, aunt, uncle, cousins – all in one beach house. I can still picture mornings waking up and begging the adults to take us down to the beach before the sun had even risen. By day we swam in the salty water and at night we hunted white crabs on the beach with flashlights. These trips instilled in me a deep love for family. The summer before I was a senior in high school and my parents told me that our family was moving to Florida. Not just anywhere in Florida – but the piece of Florida I grew up loving. 

The coast has been woven in my family and I for decades now. Those memories and experiences fuel my love for photographing families by the sea. It also set in motion the deep resolve that every family needs to preserve their family portraits. These moments together are too valuable to be forgotten.
