Grayton Beach Photographer – Grayton Beach State Park | Pistana Family Beach Session

It’s been 5 years since I originally took photos of the Pistana family…so comparing those older images with the new ones has been such a delight.  I hope as much for them as for me! I’m always a fan of showing growth and changes over time in professional photos – amongst the many other things, I’m sure Elle would like you to note that her front teeth grew back 🙂

Originally from Texas, the Pistanas rent a beach house or condo along the Emerald Coast every few years for a family retreat. This session took place at Grayton Beach State Park, which is located in Santa Rosa Beach on 30A in Walton County. Grayton Beach is a less-known but favorite location for me.  It’s one of the best maintained beaches on 30A. The dunes have lovely lines and the sea oats create a wonderful stunning backdrop.

Vanessa and Tommy dressed in a soft color palette that looked terrific against the beach. We managed to get a wonderful balance of some posed photos (the girls together, or Vanessa and Tommy by themselves) and also a few candid photos that highlight the love they all have for each other. I’ve known Vanessa in a limited capacity for years, but every time I see her I’m reminded of her kind spirit. Elle and Mia are also well on their way to becoming lovely young ladies.  They lead busy active lives that include golf and cheerleading.

I appreciate when clients send me a friendly review of their experience.  I received this from Vanessa…“Tiffany is a true professional. She is easy-going, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable.  She is our go-to photographer in the Destin & 30A area for over a decade. We have cherished the photographs that she has taken of our family over the years.  We book her anytime we vacation in the area. She’s amazing!”

It truly was a pleasure to see and visit with the Pistana Family again 🙂
