Rosemary Beach Photographer Family Beach Session

It was super hard to narrow down what I wanted to post up on this blog. This family was fantastic! I know I say that a lot, but I truly mean it. Being on the beach almost every night can get wearing on you, but when you have great families to photograph and a lot of laughter…you can’t go wrong.  I think I was singing Justin Bieber to make the girls giggle and jumping on top of small walls to get the littlest to even look at me on her Father’s shoulders. See she may look different from the rest of her family, but she is truly loved and cared for by everyone.  Her parents spent a lot of time and effort to adopt her and she has been through a lot in her little life. She is very camera shy and felt most comfortable on the guys shoulders. I can’t blame her…it’s the best view.lol I just wanted to fill you all in on that incase you wondered why she was up so high.lol I also feel the need to mention the adoption agency that they went through here and if you are ever curious about adopting or just wanting to find out info on how you can contribute to this organization….go check it out! :) Thank you all for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family ! Enjoy!

Grayton Beach Photographer Family Session

Oh wow! This family was so much fun to photograph at Grayton Beach State Park! The first session we did lasted about..I don’t know..maybe 15 mins! I left my house with MORE then enough time to get there knowing I may have some delays and I got caught in TWO accidents and was rerouted! Hello! That was nuts! Well, it was 4th of July weekend and I was smart enough to leave WAY early, but this was kind of out of my hands. Thankfully I had the next day available and could rebook them.  This family was just so forgiving and awesome! We really had a blast and I think we got some AWESOME shots. I could fill a book with all the awesome shots I have, but these are my faves! Thank you guys for such an amazing shoot and your kindness means the world to me. Enjoy!

Watercolor Family Beach Portraits Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

I had so much fun on this shoot! All the kids had high energy and you can tell Little C really was a very adventurous little guy. I don’t think he stood still for very long, but I never mind chasing down toddlers to photograph what I need. This beautiful family was staying in Watercolor and agreed to meet me at Grayton Beach State Park which is right off 30A. I am so thankful to do what I love. Photographing children is so much fun and wait till you see how beautiful these children are…. Enjoy! Special thanks to my fave assistant and friend Tiffany Sims. She really helps me out with my kids and I appreciate her greatly. :)

Family Beach Portraits Rosemary Beach, Florida

I was so excited to photograph this family in Rosemary beach located right on 30A. I talked with the beautiful Mother you see in the portraits below and she was so enthusiastic and excited to have her family photographed. I couldn’t have asked for a more fun and loving family to photograph.  Thank you all for allowing me to be apart of such an awesome time in all of your lives! You laughed at all my jokes and I know I am really not that funny, so that makes you my kind of people. ;) Enjoy!

Ciara and Kyle Eden State Park Wedding Photographer

I am super excited about this blog. I had an amazing time photographing this beautiful couple. I couldn’t have asked for a more laid back bride and groom. If you look closely you will notice how Ciara scrunches her nose and shrugs her shoulders when she looks at Kyle. She turns into this giddy little school girl and you can tell that “I love Kyle!” was written all over her folders in school.lol  If you think she is adorable when she looks at him…you should see the way he looks at her. He almost pauses to take it all in and he gets this little smirk on his face. If I had to guess..he gets the same giddy feeling, but would rather not show his giddy little school boy side to everyone.lol  Thank you Ciara and Kyle for allowing me to photograph such a special day. It was such an amazing event to document and watch unfold. You both have such loving families and I can’t wait to see what the future will hold for you both. A big thanks to my second shooter for the day Tiffany Sims of Tiffany Sims Photography. Enjoy.
