If you are familiar with local artists around Panama City, FL or really the whole Gulf Coast, you have most likely heard of Laura McCarty! She is known for her abstract style that immediately makes you feel all the feelings of being on the coast. The greens in her palettes that she intentionally chooses makes you immediately feel like you are seeing coastal dunes and the blues are the perfect shades to match our emerald waters. In fact, we have two pieces of hers in our master bedroom – one framed above each side of the bed above the nightstand. We have another in the guest bathroom! So, it is no secret how much of a fan I am! I am even more a fan of her with her family, though, which is hard to believe!! She makes motherhood look so graceful which isn’t always easy with three young children but somehow she does it!
When we began discussing her family portraits, we talked about letting the environment that we take the photos in truly reflect her family’s lifestyle in an intimate way. We want family portraits that feel like home – and well, that is exactly where we took these!
I met Laura and her beautiful family at their home in Panama City, FL. Close to sunset we trotted down to the bay where they skipped rocks, did handstands, picked wildflowers and watched as the sun sank below the coastal pines.
These portraits feel like such a true representation of their family. Warm, golden and all things coastal.
