Welcome to the blog! This is the place that I love to share recent camping trips with my family, thoughts on preserving our stories through portrait preservation and of course family photoshoots on our renowned 30A beaches. 

WELCOME

I WANT FAMILY PORTRAITS >

Can I let you in on a secret? I said I would not photograph families. 😱 By industry standards – it wasn’t cool. It was kind of at the bottom of the totem pole. If you booked weddings – or “destination” weddings (gasp!) – you were wanted. Successful. All of those things. So, I photographed […]

Our little squish is a little over three months! Part of me can’t believe we can say we have survived three months (hello, no sleep!) and part of me feels like it has gone by semi fast. She is starting to laugh, which is the best sound in the world and her smile kills me. […]

I am a sucker for any type of celebration! Valentine’s day is one of those! I remember in school there was a movement of “You are lame if you like Valentine’s day..” and I always secretly loved it – even if it meant just sharing gifts or a fun dinner with my friends! If you […]

Chase + Mariah’s Rosemary Beach wedding had it all – timeless florals, a ceremony with Gulf views and a reception that went on through the night! They chose the iconic Pearl for their ceremony and reception location, which couldn’t have fit them better! Mariah said she wanted an editorial aesthetic for her wedding and they […]

Kyle + Hannah’s Seaside, Florida Chapel wedding was one for the books and absolutely breathtaking – from the gorgeous light in the Bridal cottage suite, the timelessness of the Seaside Chapel, to their electric reception at Bud & Alley’s with a good breeze off of the Gulf of Mexico. This was my last wedding of […]

It blows my mind that in only a matter of weeks Cory and I will have begun a FAMILY. Call it whatever you want, but I still think back to the summer that a guy and girl spent too many afternoons on the water – having no idea that this was a forever thing. That’s […]

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to share photos from our trip to Germany + Luxembourg! Part of me still can’t believe that I finally got to go and looking back at these photos makes me appreciate this trip all the more. It was Cory’s first time out of the […]

Where to even start with these two and their Rosemary Beach, Florida engagement portraits? Let’s start with how stinking cute they are together! They flow together so easily without even trying!  Taylor (who is the genius behind Hazen & Co) has been coming to Rosemary Beach with her family for years, so naturally this was […]

There is nothing as quaint and breathtaking as the little community of Watersound, Florida in Santa Rosa Beach, FL to me! The houses remind me of something you would find up North like in Maine and the winding boardwalks are truly out of a magazine. This little community in Santa Rosa Beach, FL is a newer […]

Minutes before our session was to begin, the bottom fell out of nowhere! (This is Florida for you. Ha!) This didn’t stop the Bell family. They said, “Why don’t you come to our home and photograph us here?” Immediately my mind went to am I going to have enough light? Are they going to love these […]
