Family Beach Photography Session in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and Grayton Beach, Florida
Grayton Beach is a gorgeous beach-town and popular Scenic 30-A destination located in the city of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Aside from taking family pictures here my husband and I love to go for walks and ride bikes throughout the town! There are so many cool trails and fun places to explore in Grayton Beach! This is still one of my favorite and most requested spots for family beach photography sessions – there are just so many locations to choose from!
Family beach photography sessions are such a blast – they always bring me so much joy, and I have such a great time capturing memories for my clients. This evening was beautiful as always! The sunset kissed the water and shined such radiant colors. The waves crashed just enough to give the perfect seaside background. And, the temperature was so nice! I love this time of the year!

Sunset Family Beach Session in Destin Florida
Family Beach Photography Session in Destin, Florida
I love doing family photography sessions in Destin, Florida! I can’t believe I actually get to call this gorgeous place my home – I am so blessed! The panhandle of Florida has the most beautiful beaches in the whole world! Whether you’re taking a stroll down the beach, catching some waves on the jet-ski, or snorkeling along the shoreline – the beauty here in Destin is truly remarkable!
The Elliott family was such a pleasure to meet and photograph! They are such a gorgeous loving, family! They were so fun and sweet! I loved all the candid shots we were able to capture (these are my favorites by the way)! Kids grow up way too fast and before you know it they go away to college and start their own adult lives, so images like these are so precious, valuable, and timeless! This wonderful family truly brought so much joy to my heart! Thank you all for being so amazing and such a joy to work with!

Family Beach Photography Session at Grayton Beach State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Grayton Beach State Park nestled in Santa Rosa Beach, FL is home to some of the most beautiful dunes on 30a! This small funky beach town called Grayton Beach surrounded by a network of Point Washington State Park trails is located just about a mile east of the renowned beach community, Seaside. I absolutely love Grayton Beach! There are so many fun things to do, and endless nooks and crannies to be explored whether you are a nature enthusiast, shopper, food-lover (I happen fall into this category), or beach goer, this area has something “Grayt” (wink, wink) to offer for all!
Nights like these at Grayton Beach remind me of why I absolutely love to live here. The light was so golden and warm, and the beach is less crowded this time of year giving it an empty organic-feel which allows us to have first-dibs on some of the best spots! You guys, it is seriously the perfect time of year for a family beach session! And, with my fall gallery turnaround, you will receive your images in time to send out your family Christmas cards. (:
It was such a pleasure to meet and photograph the Hilgenberg family! This gorgeous family of four is so fun and joyful! How about that gorgeous ruffled dress – doesn’t she look stunning! We did a few different locations throughout Grayton Beach, and loved each and every moment of it! You guys are awesome! Thank you again, for choosing me to capture your family pictures!

Whether you’re taking a stroll down the beach, going on a boat ride, or snorkeling along the shoreline – it’s extraordinary to see all the sea-life just beneath the surface! And, the sand actually squeaks when you walk – it sounds like a squeaky sneaker on the basketball court – it’s the coolest thing!
This evening was beautiful! The sunset shined radiantly leaving just the perfect amount of lighting to capture the dreamiest shots! I love doing family photo-shoots near The Destin Harbor because it carries such nice light cross-breeze – just enough to create those picturesque dress-blowing-freely-in-the-wind type of portraits. We could not have asked for more blissfully peaceful evening for this gorgeous family’s beach photography session!
The Shepard family was such a delight to meet and photograph. Their love for each other is sweet! Little man, was such a good sport through the process. I love how they were so go with the flow and really valued capturing those in-between candid moments. This age goes by way too fast, so I love to document who they are at this brief point in time. This family truly warmed my heart, and I look forward to photographing them again someday soon! I am honestly so spoiled – my clients are literally the sweetest people in the world! We have so much fun! Thank you all for being so amazing and such a joy to work with!

Family Beach Photography Session in Carillon Beach Resort, Florida
What a gorgeous evening for a family photography session in Carillon Beach! This place is a little slice of paradise located in Panama City Beach – you could literally blink, and you would drive right past it! Carillon Beach is a quaint and quiet resort-town that is a good alternative to staying on 30a if you’re looking for a new place to try out!
It was such a joy to photograph the Wilkison family. The love they have for one another is so contagious! . We ended up getting the sweetest snuggly pictures of them kissing and hugging their mommy – it was so cute! This age is just a short moment in time, and before you know it little boys grow-up and become men and the attachment to momma changes drastically, so I love to capture the sweet love and affection they have at this age – the memories are priceless.

The Byrds | Sunset Family Beach Session | Watercolor, Florida

WaterColor boasts some of the most beautiful beaches and scenic views on 30a! This little town is located just about a mile west of the beach community, Seaside known for the Rep Theater and home to the location of the iconic house in the film, The Truman Show. This area is perfect for taking a stroll on foot or by bike and grabbing food & drinks at one of the many popular Airstream food trucks.
This evening was pure bliss! The sunset was absolutely stunning! Grayton Beach State Park was just close enough – giving the beach an organic empty feel. Fall is in the air! It’s the perfect time of year for family sessions for your Christmas cards!
The Byrd family was such a delight to meet and photograph! This sweet family of three made me so happy! Precious baby girl didn’t want to leave mama’s arms, and that was no problem at all. Just another excuse to cuddle and snuggle during the session. I loved the natural colors they chose to wear as well!
One of the fashion tips I like to encourage clients with before their photography sessions is to pick something that is light, comfortable, flowy, with soft neutral colors, and having aflower pattern is always a plus! I also invest in a yearly subscription to a customizable guide that helps clients pick out outfits that coordinate with the whole family!

The Dewitts | Rosemary Beach, Florida | Sunrise Family Beach Session
Sunrise Beach Family Session in Rosemary Beach Florida
Family Beach Session in Rosemary Beach, Florida
Sunrises are my absolute favorite because the kids can be free and run around without having beach go-ers interrupt the shot! It was a beautiful morning in Rosemary Beach for the Dewitt family session! The weather was warm, and the ocean was so still it looked like a lake! The Dewitts were ready to just play with their kids and have fun!
Rosemary Beach is the perfect place for a family shoot – or really any type of photo shoot! The Italian inspired architecture that surrounds the community fulfills any traveler’s dreams! It’s like having a little slice of Italy in the backyard of 30a.
I am so thankful to have had the privilege to photograph this gorgeous family. My heart melts when I see the love that they have for one another, and I am blessed to be able to capture it. One of my favorite things about the Dewitt family is how fun and carefree they are! They were truly a joy to work with! While it can be challenging at times to wake up at the crack of dawn, the girls did such an amazing job, and they ended up having a blast!
I was in love from the very moment I met them! #familygoals! You cannot “pose” the pure love and joy this wonderful family has for one another… keep scrolling to check-out my favorites from their session!
