The best time for family beach photos in Destin depends on the experience you want to create, and each season along the Emerald Coast brings its own light, its own mood, and its own things to think through before you book. I’ve been photographing families on these beaches across all four seasons, and the differences […]
I’ve been dreaming about this one for a while. This July, I’m opening up my studio backyard for something a little different: Summer Splash Sessions, styled outdoor sessions with bubbles, water play, and all the golden summer joy that comes with a Florida evening in July. If you’ve been looking for a Destin mini session […]
Niceville doesn’t have much in the way of kids’ boutiques, but some of the best children’s clothing shopping on the Gulf Coast is just a short drive away, scattered along 30A. I send my own clients to these stores all the time, and I shop them myself too. The right outfit makes a real difference […]
Destin family photography sessions come in two experiences, and I designed each one with a specific family in mind. One is a full guided journey from wardrobe to finished album.

What to Expect at Your Destin Beach Family Session If you’ve never had professional family photos taken on the beach before, it’s completely normal to feel a little unsure of what you’re walking into.

The light is doing that golden, glowy thing it does along the Gulf. And a parent looks over at me with this expression that says — we should have done this years ago. That’s the […]
Hello, beautiful mamas! Can I let you in on a little secret? Spring has always been my absolute favorite season for beach photography on the Emerald Coast.

If you’re searching for photo gifts for grandparents who already have everything, you’re in the right place — and I’m going to save you from another gift that ends up in a drawer. Last November, a mom came to me in a panic. “My mother-in-law says she doesn’t want anything for Christmas,” she said. “But […]
