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.

Let me start off by saying something I always say – the best family photo outfits you can wear for family pictures are the ones that you already have. Gasp! But it’s true! Chances are if it is in your closet already it is something that you wear on a normal basis that is comfortable […]

A mother in an emerson fry kaftan and husband walk with their two young sons looking at the houses in Seaside, Florida.

I love being a seaside photographer and especially love meeting families that have been coming to Seaside, Florida for decades. Gerrie’s family has been coming for nearly twenty years. See their seaside family photos here!

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 […]

The Olingy family came to 30A to celebrate a special time in their lives and I had the immense honor of being their Rosemary Beach photographers while they were here! Since they were a multi-generational family – it immediately reminded me of when we would vacation with my grandparents and whole family down to the […]

The Bell family is one those families that you wish lived right next door to you so that you could be best friends with them forever and ever. Ha! I met them for the first time last year in Watercolor, Florida but this year I am so excited to have been their Watersound, FL photographer! […]

Things to do in Fort Walton Beach, Destin and 30A on the weekend!

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 […]

I love it when a family isn’t afraid of color! These guys looked ADORABLE for their family portraits in WaterColor, Florida this Summer! They were the perfect combination of color, sunshine and beautifully put together! If anything, these guys made me really reconsider my plans for our family. (Which we obviously found out earlier this […]

Ashley was GLOWING. No, seriously. I haven’t always believed in the pregnancy glow, and even now being pregnant myself, I definitely don’t feel the glow (Ha!) but she definitely had it! What an honor it was to be her WaterColor photographers while her and her family of four were in town! While the Anderson family […]

I absolutely love this family session because it is my sister and her gorgeous family!! They love the coastal dunes and overgrown trails in 30A, so it was a perfect combination!  I truly think one of the coolest perks of being a photographer is getting to create these portraits of my own family. It is […]
