St. George Island + Cape San Blas Family Photographer

Spring on Navarre Beach carries a particular kind of beauty, bright skies, comfortable breezes, and a shoreline alive with families arriving to rest, reconnect, and mark time together. For those visiting the Emerald Coast this spring, I’m opening a very limited Petite Session offering  designed specifically for spring break travelers seeking meaningful, beautifully crafted portraits without the commitment of a full session. This offering is brief by design, intentional in sco

There are certain seasons of life that arrive quietly, sometimes joyfully, sometimes fleetingly, and if we’re not careful, they pass without being properly honored. Photography, at its best, is an act of noticing. Of pausing long enough to say this season holds value. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most meaningful sessions aren’t tied to perfect timelines or traditional milestones alone.

This St. George Island family session from 2022 remains close to my heart for that very reason. From the moment I met Sarah, there was an immediate sense of familiarity, the kind that feels quietly orchestrated. She was expecting another precious baby, and what began as a conversation about photos quickly became a meaningful exchange about motherhood, faith, and

Family photography always carries meaning, but when grandparents are present—especially the grandmothers who have quietly shaped the spiritual fabric of their families, there is a profound shift. Their presence adds depth, continuity, and testimony. As a St. George Island extended family photographer , I’ve learned that portraits including grandparents often become touchstones of faith and legacy for the generations that follow. These images are no longer “just photographs”;
