Florida Wedding and Family Photographer
Florida Family + Wedding Photographer— Serving 30A, Destin, Panama City Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida + beyond
Do you ever look around and realize how quickly your family is growing up?
How they’re not as little as they were even a few months ago? How quickly the days turn into years?
Sure, the Christmas card is important. But it’s not as important as capturing the way your little girl looks up at her daddy. That look that is all awe and admiration.
Or documenting for your babies exactly how it feels to get a hug from mom, so they can remember they’re loved (even 10, 20, and 50 years from now).
Your family photos are about taking a break from the never-ending to-do list to appreciate these little, everyday blessings. Those sweet giggles, chubby cheeks, and silly dance moves won’t last forever.
Your family is the most precious thing in your life. Your photos are about remembering that all of it, every single moment with them, is a gift.
“Bri’s just the whole package. She helps with the planning, the coordinating, the outfits. She coaches you through selecting good photos. Her technical skill is flawless. Her people skills are extraordinary. The whole experience was perfect, and the heirlooms are beautiful.
Everybody looks like their best selves, but they still look like them.”
— Sarah
If you can get your kids fed and out the door for your session…
I’ll take care of the rest.
I’ve photographed over 500 families, but I know that each and every family is different and special. I can’t wait to get to know yours.
I will chase your little toddler around the beach and capture that perfect chaos.
I will tell your family what to do with their hands (if they need some guidance) and help your four-year-old feel relaxed.
(And yes, of course we’ll get that photo for grandma where you’re all smiling at the camera.)
You? Your job is to pick up your baby and feel the weight of that bundle in your arms.
To hold your hubby’s hand and walk side by side in the sand, reflecting on just how far you’ve come together.
Your job is to feel beautiful (don’t worry, I’ll remind you), and know you’re doing a great job at making your family feel loved. And at the end of the day? That’s really all that matters.

“I cannot say enough good things about Bri and her work! She is professional and personable. She recently did a beach family shoot for us including a one year old. She was so patient and understanding. Our pictures turned out beautifully. I highly recommend her.” — Jessica
Photos are meant to be seen
When you hang a photo of your beautiful family on the wall, you get to walk past it every day and be reminded, this is what I’m doing life for.
I don’t want these precious memories to become an unfinished project on your to-do list, which is why all of my packages already include prints (and digitals) you can keep forever. We can add on custom wall art, and we can even have it installed if you live in 30A.
You deserve photos in your home that help you remember what life’s all about.
“My most favorite family photos ever! Bri is so easy to work with, fun, kind and an amazingly talented photographer. She doesn't just snap photos of your family but really creates ART for you to keep and treasure forever. LOVE her and her work.”
—Courtney
Meet Bri, 30a Photographer
Kick off your shoes; let’s have some fun
There’s nothing like being barefoot on the beach.
30A is so relaxing. I'm originally from Chicago, and I've traded fast-paced city life for strolling on the shoreline. (You can too for a week!)
Replace honking horns with crashing waves. Replace getting the kids ready for school with sipping on your coffee while they play in the sand.
Replace feeling like you have 10 things that all need to get done yesterday with knowing that this moment — enjoying time with your family — is the only thing on the list.
Meet me at the beach, and trust that I’ll take care of the details. You’re here to have fun.
PHOTOGRAPHY LOCATIONS
Serving Destin, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Watercolor, Seacrest, Inlet Beach, Seagrove, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Fort Walton Beach and beyond.
Couples photos should feel like a fun date
Lock eyes, get lost in the moment, play on the beach.
Carefree looks good on you two. Whether we’re capturing an engagement, an anniversary, or a surprise proposal, we’re going to make sure it feels easy.
When you have a trustworthy expert guiding you through your session, telling you what to do so you don’t ever stand there feeling awkward, and reminding you how gorgeous your love is, photos become fun and effortless.
Oh, and you end up with mementos of your love that you can keep for the rest of your life.
When you fall in love,
You don’t ever want to forget what it felt like…
When he remembered your favorite song and played it on a random Tuesday morning. You danced in the kitchen with your shoes off.
Or when the words “I love you” slipped out of your mouth by accident and he said it back without hesitating.
You don’t want to forget the vows you made to one another when your connection grew into something more. How your friends, family, and God were all there to witness your commitment.
You want to be solely present for the love you feel on your wedding day.
And when you look back at your photos? You want to feel what it was like to be there, all over again.
“We look at our photos and we feel those emotions all over again. It’s as if we’re reliving the moment. It means a lot to us to be able to have them, to be able to show them to our future kids, and to keep them in the family.” — Miranda
Sometimes, when you slow down, everything comes into focus
