30a + Miramar Beach Photographer

Helping you see the beauty in your life

Helps me see the beauty in mine

You and your family are beautiful, and as your 30a photographer I will do anything I can to help you feel it.

I’m the type of photographer who will fix your hair or tell you that your makeup is smudged, so you don’t have to spend a single precious moment worrying about what you look like when you’re in front of my lens.


I’ll help you pick an outfit that’s cute and practical, so you can play in the sand with your kiddos without stressing about your skirt flying up.


And when you don’t know where to look or what to do with your hands (no one does, I promise), I won’t leave you feeling awkward. I’ll give you prompts to help you feel like yourselves, let loose, and have some fun together. Because these moments on the beach are special.

But honestly? You are the best part of this job. Connecting with you is my favorite thing about it all.

The beach is my happy place

And I hope it’ll be yours, too

I moved to Santa Rosa Beach when I was a small child, and I’m still convinced it’s impossible to be stressed when your toes are in the sand.

I’m convinced a little saltwater and a warm breeze can heal just about anything. 

I’m convinced that all those colors lighting up the sky as the sun sets behind the waves are God’s way of saying, “It’s gonna be okay,” before it gets dark.

The beach brought my husband and I together, even after we’d known each other all our lives (he’s my best friend’s brother). We fell in love over sunset walks, bike rides, and long conversations in this magical place.

It’s a place where families connect over shared laughter, sand castles, and bare feet. If you’ve been to 30A, you know what I mean.

And if you haven’t?

 

Besides sunset walks with my toes in the sand, a drink in my hand, and my husband by my side,

These are a few things that make me feel inspired

  • Coffee or a meal with a friend.

    Never gets old

  • Art.

    Photography is more than a hobby and more than a career, to me. It’s an art form, and being an artist makes me feel in touch with my purpose

  • My dogs, Frankie and Scarlett.

    He’s a bougie chihuahua maltese mix and I would do anything for him

  • Interior design.

    My husband and I recently remodeled a fixer upper and I’m loving the slow process of getting it exactly how we want it

  • Trying new cuisines.

    Ask me about Indian, Korean, or Hawaiian food. (My mouth is watering already.)

  • You!

    Seriously. One of my greatest blessings is getting to do this work. I truly would love to meet you and make your family feel all kinds of special
