After your session, I'm here to guide you through choosing your favorite images and designing beautiful heirloom artwork for your family to enjoy for years to come. You'll be guided every step of the way, from what to wear to creating timeless pieces for your home.
I'd love to be your Destin photographer—let's chat soon and get your session on my calendar!
hen photographing families, I keep things light and easy so the honest moments can shine. I'll make sure you look your best (hello, studio wardrobe!), but my focus is always on the natural connections you share—not forced poses or busy backgrounds.

HELLO, I'm Andrea!
Your Destin photographer
A Glimpse
into my life
1 / 3
I was born & raised in Germany and now live happily nestled in Niceville, super close to the mid-bay bridge, which connects us to Destin, Florida. I am a retired US Airman's wife, and I am still thanking my lucky stars that Adam asked me out to be his girlfriend back when he was stationed in Germany. Experiencing life together has been a big adventure and the best thing happening to me. We have two beautiful children who are way past the newborn stage. I miss them being babies so much.
My whole Heart
Life with My Family
Weekends is family time for us: We love Sunday morning family breakfasts and Netflix binge-watching throughout the weekend, especially on rainy days.

I am an early bird and most productive in the morning... but first comes coffee. We're keeping things minimalistic over here and don't have too many fancy items around the house, but our coffee maker is one with a touchpad and a Lovie-setting (Adam lovingly calls me that from pretty much day one) for the most delicious espresso with a ton of organic, frothed milk. So give me one of those, and I go, go, go.

mornings with coffee

Long walks on white, sandy beaches speak to my soul, I prefer not to go into the water unless I can see the ground, but I love the feel of the sand under my feet, and looking out for shells & dolphins. People watching is one of my favorites. I could sit in my beach chair all day long, wondering what people are all about.
Winter Beach Vibes with my favorite person
The Beach - sandy feet & tousled Hair
I'm a firm believer that any problem can be solved at the beach. My biggest dream was always to live with my family in a coastal town near a pretty beach, enjoying breathtaking sunsets on a daily....... and we did just that. We followed our dream of living on the Emerald Coast in October '21, and so far it has been the best decision ever.
Frequently
Asked Questions
People I Trust — and Love to Share
Over the years, I've gathered a little village of businesses I love and trust. Click any name to learn more.
There is nothing quite like seeing your baby for the very first time — and Growing Love Ultrasound in Destin makes that experience so warm and special. If you're looking for a 3D ultrasound before your maternity or newborn session, this is exactly where I'd send you.
Lisa at The Mom NP has created something truly rare — a healthcare experience for women that is personalized, unhurried, and genuinely nurturing. As a nurse practitioner who specializes in women's health, she offers the kind of care that makes you feel like a whole person, not just a patient. I'm so grateful she's part of this little village.
If you're dreaming of a more intimate, personalized birth experience, I can't say enough wonderful things about Gentle Birth Options right here in Destin. Their midwifery team walks alongside you from your very first prenatal visit all the way through postpartum — including lactation support, well-woman care, and even home birth. It's the kind of care that meets you exactly where you are and never rushes you through the moments that matter most.
Float therapy is one of those experiences that's hard to describe until you've tried it — and it's especially beautiful during pregnancy. Float Brothers is bringing their studio to Niceville soon, and I am so excited for my clients to have this resource close to home. They've been known to offer complimentary floats to expecting mamas, so keep an eye out for them. Your mind and body will thank you.
Mama, you deserve this. Om Relaxation Spa in Destin is one of my favorite recommendations for expecting mamas who need a little — or a lot — of care. Their prenatal massage includes pregnancy-safe aromatherapy and a hand sugar scrub that feels like the most thoughtful treat. And once your baby arrives, their postpartum massage is equally beautiful. A gift card here might just be the sweetest baby shower gift a friend could give.
Planning a beach session during your Emerald Coast vacation? 360 Blue is my go-to recommendation for families looking for the perfect home base along 30A and Destin. They manage some of the most stunning luxury vacation rentals in the area — and I've had the joy of photographing so many beautiful families who've stayed in their properties. Book your stay, then let's plan your session.
"I cannot give Andrea enough compliments. Firstly, she is incredibly personable. Her studio is warm and inviting. At our first meeting, I felt so comfortable and fell easily in conversation with her. She also got my husband to feel comfortable in front of a camera....
... Andrea is a one stop shop. When I was expecting, I was so overwhelmed with information and choices. Andrea gives choices, but each package is unique. That made choosing a package & location much easier for me. She also has a BEAUTIFUL wardrobe of dresses. She has photographed theses dresses, so you can feel confident the dress will photograph well. That was a relief for me."
Sadie M.
"Andrea is the best! We are SO happy with how the pictures turned out. My husband hates having his photo taken and even said after the session, that it was actually kind of fun :) Very great experience over all."
Haley P.
"She captured so many beautiful moments and smiles from my kids, even though they were being wild during the session. Not an easy task. She did an amazing job! It was such a nice touch to have access to the client's wardrobe and to have her eye for what would look good together. She is very detail-oriented and made sure it was a seamless process."
Tiffany L.
"Andrea captured the absolute sweetest moments with my newborn son. She made the whole session feel comfortable and was patient and caring. It was such a relaxing experience working with her, and I’ll cherish these pictures for a lifetime."

“Working with Andrea for our maternity and newborn shoots was amazing. She not only guided us through the process but also provided outfits, making us look and feel great. Andrea's knack for capturing our family's special moments left us with stunning photos we'll cherish forever. Totally recommend her if you're looking to capture your own precious memories!”
