alys beach photographer
This photograph is one of my all time "real life" favorites. We were on location at the beautiful Alys Beach and were about to wrap up the shoot. Somehow the entire family playing turned into what you see happening below. The sad thing is that her glasses actually did break. I think this picture just about sums it all up...

The fact that I just wrote "Nashville beach photographer" in the subject line makes me laugh. It seems like an oxymoron, right? No, it's not Nashville Shores or the beach at Percy Priest that I am speaking of. It's just me, a girl from Nashville, traveling down to the beautiful beaches of 30A to photograph beautiful families. And sometimes I feel like I am dreaming when I really think about what I am given the opportunity to do as work. Seriously, I am so thankful to do what I do. I feel like I say it all the time (and I do) but I am still just astonished that this is my life. Not that its perfect because believe me, it's not. Far from that, in fact. Especially this time of year with taxes- I want to just run away. But with all the bad included - I love what I do. Especially when it includes going to one of my favorite places in the world: the beach. Some good friends asked me to take photographs of them while on Spring Break. They drove up to Rosemary Beach and we spent the morning laughing and having fun taking pictures. I always say that there is something about being on vacation that makes a family seem so much more relaxed and themselves. It really makes for a different kind of photographs.
So if you are in the Destin/30A area this July 7-14 - contact me! I have a few spots left....
Enjoy a few of my favs...
Well, I checked one destination session off my list. Alys Beach. There is something so mysterious and beautiful about this place. I love the white, mediterranean architecture with the dark wood lining the windows and doors. When you step on the property, you no longer feel like you are in the US. It makes you want to lie by the cabana pool all day with a good book. Or string up lights on the patio and listen to music all night long. It's magical. So, needless to say, I was thrilled when this adorable Jackson, MS family wanted to shoot their session here. Here are a few of my favorites.... Enjoy!
