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 […]

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 […]

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing the Augustine family during their stay at the Hilton Pensacola Beach. They made a fantastic decision by opting for a mid-morning photoshoot, which turned out to be perfect for their one-year-old. While sunrise and sunset provide beautiful lighting, they can be tricky with young children who […]

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

When it comes to a Pensacola Beach Wedding, there are a few things you will most certainly pray for leading up to it. Aside from a happy couple, Justin and Kayley, we prayed for beautiful weather, a Blue Angels Flyover, and for things to run smoothly overall. Justin and Kayley are truly one of a […]

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 […]

As a frequent photographer of Gulf Breeze High School Sports, I was so excited when the Lacrosse Team reached out about photos for their spring season. I’ve never been to so much as a lacrosse game and was excited to see the elements it encompassed. I was lucky enough to capture both teams and even […]

If you’ve been looking for a sign to have a friend photoshoot, this is it. This shoot was one of the most entertaining experiences of my life. When Mallory reached out to me to do a best friend photoshoot, I was ecstatic. There is something so pure about the love between friends and the way […]

Sessions like this one hit differently. Before I was a photographer, I was a 5th grade teacher, and Allison was one of my students. Even back then, her beauty radiated from the inside out. I will never get over being able to be present in a former student’s life,

As a Swiftie myself, I was thrilled that Jazmine wanted to incorporate Taylor Swift into her senior session. Nothing makes me (or my clients) happier than when I can incorporat

I could go on and on about why Fort Pickens Family Photos is one of the most beautiful spots on Pensacola Beach to photograph. But this session in particular was really special. Claire explained to me she wanted some family photos while they were on vacation before baby number 3 arrived. We got them scheduled […]

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 […]

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?

When Jaci told me she wanted her senior session in a field of flowers, I was so giddy and excited..

When it comes to the sunset on Pensacola Beach, you can’t beat it for your family photoshoot..

I posted about how I really messed up at these Pensacola Beach Anniversary Photos on Instagram. No lie, I got probably 50 DM’s from friends, other photographers, and locals about it. But, I didn’t mess up quite as bad as everyone thought! Promise. Anniversary Photos I want to start by saying, photographing an anniversary of […]

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 […]

Mary Miles and Shane exude love in every which way. There is nothing like a Fort Pickens engagement shoot.

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..

One of the most popular spots for photos in Duh in Pensacola. Duh is an awesome backdrop because of the gorgeous products outdoors… In addition, I find it extremely admirable that they donate all of their photography fees to the Pensacola Humane Society and allow photographers to photograph there outside of business hours. With a […]

I’ve been wanting to blog about these floral crown mini sessions for quite some time, but upgrading my website, travel, summer and… life happened.

The Smith Family was looking for Panama City Beach Family Photographers. When they reached out to me about scheduling a family session they explained they had littles that go to bed very early (sunset in the summer time is close to 8:00 in the evening). I was elated when she told me sunrise was ideal […]

I continue to be inspired by Maui Family Photos and photographers I see on Instagram and Pinterest. To think I would have that opportunity on my own put a lot of pressure on this session, but hey! That’s how I work best. In case you haven’t seen my other posts, Jeanne (the most amazing bride) […]
