(Pictured is our museum case in stone.) Your immediate answer may be, “well, both!” Ultimately – yes. Sure. But recently I had a revelation on this that I want to dive a little more into and tell you about.  You may have read that I have a few plans in place to keep our personal […]

This is a family that I just adore – how special it was to be their Destin, Florida photographers! Not only is Zhenia one of the most patient moms I’ve ever met, but an incredible florist in Destin, Florida with an immaculate eye for beauty. We’ve developed a friendship over the years in this little […]

How I adore this family!! I have been so incredibly fortunate as a photographer in Santa Rosa Beach that so many of my “families” have become friends from Summer to Summer of photographing them. I LOVE watching their kids grow up, more babies get added to the family and see little personalities unfold. The crazy […]

“There are two things in Autumn that particularly appeal to me. Sometimes there is a mild melancholy in the falling leaves, in the muted light, in the haziness of things, in the elegance of the slender tree trunks.” -Van Gogh 48 hours.

I literally remember it like it was yesterday! I was sitting in the Seaside parking lot waiting to meet up with Jen for lunch. We had gone to the same college together – had mutual friends – but rarely hung out together because she lived off campus while I lived in the dorms. I also […]

This is the best time of the year to spend a day in Alys Beach. I took the month of February off to soak in every minute with our girl before the craziness of busy season begins come March. While I love being an Alys Beach photographer, I also sometimes miss out on Summer days […]

I will be the first to admit that I am not good at going out on a limb or making mistakes. When Cory and I were first getting to know each other, we asked each other to describe the other in five words. I will never forget that one of his words for me was […]

I am most drawn to the beach in the “off” times – sunrise, sunset, cooler months or in this case when a storm in rolling in. I wish I had my camera with me while I strolled this morning on the beach, but since I didn’t my iPhone was what I used! The beach was […]
