It’s family photo season and the Fox Family is one of my favorites. This family was one of the first few to allow me to take their family photos and model for some of my holiday mini sessions. To have them come back as repeat clients is such an honor I don’t take lightly. Their […]

I’m no stranger to Portofino Pensacola Beach as a photographer. There’s a reason people flock here year round for their wedding, vacation, and some family time. When it comes to hotels on Pensacola Beach, Portofino truly has it all. I don’t mind making my way there because there’s incredibly easy access to the beach and […]

When it comes to family photos, I always say the most stressful part is leading up to it- not the actual session! When picking your summer family photo color scheme, there are several things to keep in mind. For starters- I’m all about thinking outside of the box. If dressing in frilly, southern, all white […]

Walking Down Memory Lane: The Gillen Family’s Heartwarming Photo Session At Jordan West Photo, I have the privilege of capturing life’s most precious moments, and the Gillen Family’s recent session at Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, Florida, was no exception. This charming family, who exchanged their vows at the same resort a few years ago, […]

Next time, I’m going to bring this film into the bright sun and underexpose just slightly. Since I was only experimenting, I shot on some cloudy days. I don’t think this was the best scenario for me. Especially because I have a bright and colorful aesthetic.

The Jenkins Family reached out to me looking for family photos on the beach this summer. Pensacola Beach is their annual vacation spot and I was so excited to meet them. It was actually a cool, breezy evening which is something I pray for heading into the summer season. Family sessions can be a little […]

Not all photoshoots are created equal. Some are lighter, more fun, and show a different side of the family.

My breakup with weddings wasn’t a falling out, it was more of a slow burn. It’s not that I hate weddings. I actually really enjoy the process of photographing in a candid way and seeing people on their happiest days. I still have a relationship with almost everyone of my couples and they mean a […]

There is nothing like taking sunrise senior pictures. It’s just you, me and the lens- nothing was different for Bria Aylstock. As her photographer, I found myself entangled in a scheduling woe, but what emerged from the chaos was an unforgettable dual session. I truly believe we captured the essence of Bria’s transition from high […]

When Taylor reached out to me to schedule for Spring I was so excited because Christy told me how amazing this family was! I wanted to make sure we got incredible, sunny weather and happy times for this go around.

There is something special about capturing the beauty of a family. That is exactly what I did on a recent Pensacola Beach Staycation while this precious family stayed on Portofino Island Resort. This beautiful family, of parents and a 3-month-old baby, and their six-year-old son were truly a sight to behold. With the backdrop of […]

As a Pensacola Maternity Photographer, sometimes you have to play the game of weather man.. or woman! For Madison and Taylor this was certainly the case.

Seeing Mothers, children, and their families in my camera brings me an untapped level of joy I never knew I could experience. How can I be so proud of a woman I barely know?

I’ve stated before how much I love being in Navarre Beach as a family photographer. You get the variety of the soundside and the Gulf.

It’s not often I get down to Navarre Beach as a Photographer because I’m based in Gulf Breeze. But Navarre is where I grew up.

Finding creativity as a photographer might seem incredibly easy, right? Just photograph the subject in front of you. I used to think this until I actually became a photographer. I got bored really fast. The feeling was looming over me that I was doing the same poses, the same type of people, and the same […]

When people ask me if I’m a newborn photographer, I suggest taking a look into lifestyle newborn photography. This is what I love to do and I typically have to explain the difference between a lifestyle newborn session, and a newborn session. I love photographing newborns and seeing new mothers in their element, right at […]

As a Pensacola Beach Photographer I often get asked to do sunrise sessions. You might be wondering “why on earth would someone want to get up that early for a photo shoot?” I used to think that way too. But trust me, the reasons are infinite.  #1 Babies. If you have young children, they’re usually […]

The Kuster Family was visiting all the way from Wisconsin for family vacation. They wanted to book a 30A Family Photographer and get photos done at Grayton Beach..
