Grayton beach state park photos are easily some of the most beautiful in 30A – especially for timeless family pictures! The coastal lakes, dunes and sandy trails offer a variety of backdrops for family portraits – not to mention the secluded beach access! These provide the best backdrop to a photographer in Santa Rosa Beach, […]

Last year I photographed the Boyce Family at their Alys Beach house, but we only had one grand baby at that time! (But how precious is she!?) This year we had four!! This is one of my favorite parts about being an Alys Beach photographer – you get to watch families grow! What are the […]

Oh my goodness, I love being Santa Rosa Beach, FL photographers and the Sanders family was such a treat to photograph! One thing that I love photographing are multi-generational families that come to Santa Rosa Beach, FL together on vacation. It sends me right back to my childhood days of coming to Florida with my […]

I saw a video today of AI technology. I have to admit I live under a rock when it comes to technology (hello, I am still a film photographer!) and being off social media (with the exception of the Facebook page). I was blown away! Wow. How far technology has come! Rather than be scared […]

I cannot believe Summer is almost over. Some of y’all are already gearing up for school starting back next month. I know we are! I have to admit – it has been H.A.R.D. having two toddler girls home with me at all times (you can ask Cory about my endless complaining some days) this Summer […]

“And suddenly I know how to handle this cultural tide against which I cannot stand. I do not have to stand against it. I have to make sure we are rooted in real things. I can’t fight Facebook but I can plant a tomato. Every single time I do something that anchors our family to […]

One of the greatest joys of being a 30A family photographer has come in the form of watching families evolve through the years. It has become one of the greatest gifts of my career. The Anderson family is one of those families! I first photographed these guys in 2018 when they were just a family […]

Tori of Victoria Austin Designs and I met on Instagram of all places. She was a wedding florist and at the time I was a wedding photographer. Our work was so similar in style that we both gravitated towards what each other was going! We ended up getting to do a few weddings together which […]

Family portrait aesthetics change each year. So what does it take to make a portrait that will truly stand the (aesthetic) of time? Truth. Truthfulness to who you are down to the outfits you choose and the location you create them in. It doesn’t matter if that is incredibly casual on a hammock or dressed […]
