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 had the pleasure of photographing the Rice family at Henderson Beach State Park recently, just next to The Henderson Resort & Spa. The Rice family drove from Kentucky for their vacation in Destin.  Kristen and Stuart and their sons Carver and Sawyer were a joy to be around. Kristen and Stuart’s sweet romance clearly […]

Paxton Florida | Laurel Hill Family Session – Shelton Family   The Shelton family session was a lovely change of pace for me, and one that I’m really excited to share. While I never get tired of the beautiful beaches and white sands along the Florida gulf coast, once in a while it’s fun to […]

The Chandler family are return clients, which as I’ve said before is one of my favorite things to see. I love documenting growth, and their teenagers have grown so much in the three years since I last worked with them! The Chandlers are from Texas, but they vacation every so often in Panama City Beach […]

I have enjoyed watching the Bradley family grow over the years and was delighted to photograph another family session with them. They are locals who live and spend a good amount of time in the Niceville area.  We decided on the session location of Turkey Creek Park in Niceville, Florida. It is a great spot with […]

2019 Year in Review! I can not help but look back on 2019 and what a whirlwind year it was.  Our littles are growing so fast…Parker turned 7 and Taylor turned 5. It’s just so neat to watch their personalities develop.  We spent A LOT of time at baseball/soccer fields and gymnastics, we had some […]

The Slott family is a great example.  I first photographed them on Panama City Beach in 2012, and […]
