The 30A & Destin Family Photography Experience

Luxury family portraits along Florida’s Emerald Coast

Your vacation memories deserve the very best — and your 30A family photography experience should feel as relaxed and joyful as the moments themselves. After nearly 20 years as an Emerald Coast storyteller, I’ve designed an experience that takes every detail off your plate, from outfit planning to choosing the perfect golden-hour location, so you can simply show up and be present with the people you love.

What you’ll walk away with isn’t just a gallery of beautiful images. It’s an heirloom collection of your family at this exact moment in time — the laughter, the closeness, the salt air, the way the light wraps around you at sunset. The kind of portraits you’ll print, frame, and pass down.

What Families Say About Their 30A Family Photography Experience

“Amanda’s work is phenomenal. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable when taking photos to commemorate our 15 year wedding anniversary in Seaside. I shared my favorites on Facebook and Instagram and everyone has raved about them and loved them as much as we do. I’ve had trouble deciding which I love the most so the option of being able to purchase the digital files was a plus. I hope to have our family return to the area to do a session with her in the future!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Kayla Riggs

“I cannot say enough good things about Amanda! She has an amazing and beautiful personality, her pictures were just what we wanted! We can’t wait for our next vacation for more amazing photos! Highly recommend!!!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – B Family

“We had the most amazing experience with Amanda! She is absolutely wonderful with babies and Seaside is gorgeous. She captured so much love and joy in our family pictures. I highly recommend her services and will definitely use her every year when we return for this beach vacation.”   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – M Family

“If you’re looking for a photographer who is patient, kind, and genuinely great with kids, look no further than Amanda! She recently photographed our family and managed to capture the true spirit of all my children. As a mom to a son with autism, I’m often worried about how photo sessions will go, but Amanda was so accommodating and patient. She got ‘insanely amazing’ shots of him that we will treasure forever. 10/10 recommend!”  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A Family

“If you are looking for a photographer to capture your family at the beach, look no further! Amanda is professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. She makes you feel very at ease during the session and the images she captures speak for themselves. I highly recommend her services!”  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Carter Family | Destin, FL

Photography Session Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a session?

Please complete the CONTACT FORM. It will immediately email & text you my detailed pricing information. As well as a link to my calendar with my up to date availability. Please feel free to call/text/email with any questions once you have complete the contact form.

Generally, I recommend booking your photographer 3-6 months in advance, especially if you’re planning around summer, spring break, fall break, or Thanksgiving week. My sunset sessions during peak weeks book out 6+ months ahead. For off-peak winter and early-spring dates, 4-8 weeks is typically enough notice.

If you’re traveling and have firm dates, reach out as soon as you book your accommodations.

Honestly, both are beautiful — it depends on you & your family.

Sunrise sessions are my recommendation for families with young children or babies; the light is soft, crowds are nonexistent, and toddlers are at their happiest. Also, great for seniors during the summer that don’t want to melt from the summer heat.

Sunset sessions are perfect for families with older kids, teens, or extended family groups who want that warm golden-hour glow. Also, great for the seniors that are not morning teenager’s as so many of them are.

Either way, I always shoot during ‘golden hour’ — the 60 minutes around sunrise or sunset — when the light is most flattering on the Emerald Coast.

Typically, 30A photography session investment varies based on session length, the number of locations, and the digital collection you choose.

Full pricing and collection details are shared during the inquiry process so I can tailor recommendations to your specific needs. Reach out for current pricing and I’ll send you a detailed investment guide within 24 hours.

  • The session fee covers booking & shooting of the session.
  • Additionally, all digital files, prints & products are sold separately from the session fee.
  • In approximately 1-3 weeks I will send over an online gallery for you to review the images for 15 days.  If you need help in selecting images or would like to see images on the wall (YES, I really can do that), just let me know. We can set up a Zoom design meeting to put a print order together.

Single Family Sessions include Mom, Dad & kids.

Extended Family Sessions include the Whole Family. Mom, Dad, Kids, Grandparents, Aunts. Uncles, etc.

Simple Senior Session are just for the senior.

Extended Senior Session can include family, pets, etc. if you would like.

Absolutely, extended family beach photography is one of my favorite types of sessions. I regularly photograph multi-generational gatherings of 10, 15, 20+ people from grandparents down to brand-new babies. These sessions take a little extra planning (timing, location choice, and posing groupings), but the results are heirloom images your family will treasure for generations. Watercolor, Watersound, and Carillon Beach are my top picks for extended family beach photos because they offer more space and softer crowds.

Generally, I prefer to shoot at a location near you. Depending on where you are staying I can recommend a beach access. That is usually anywhere from Destin to Rosemary Beach. Depending on my schedule I will occasionally shoot in Navarre, Pensacola, Gulf Shores, Panama City Beach all the way to Cape San Blas.

Senior sessions can include 1 or 2 locations & we go over those details after booking your session & taking a look at your style & vibe for the session.

Please chat with me about session locations BEFORE you book to confirm my schedule allows for me to travel.

There’s no single ‘best’ beach on 30A — it really depends on the look you’re after. Rosemary Beach is unmatched for European-inspired courtyards and cobblestone streets. Alys Beach offers stunning all-white architecture for modern, editorial-style portraits. Seaside brings the classic pastel-cottage Americana feel. Grayton Beach is rustic and barefoot. Watercolor and Watersound are favorites for extended family beach photos. When you book, I’ll walk you through every option based on where you’re staying and the vibe you want.

Will you help with what to wear?

Then, after you book, you will receive a “Pre Session” Questionnaire. This will help me get to know you prior to the session.  You will also get the link to my NEW “Style & Prep Guide” which has a ton of information like sample color palettes with clothing images & direct links to make shopping for “what to wear” so easy. The guide also has tips for prepping for your session & a “Day of Checklist”  to make sure you don’t forget anything.

Shhhhh we don’t say that word around here it’s always sunny in Florida! Right?

If it’s a less than 90% chance of rain at the location, then we will wait till just before session to see if it’s actually raining. However, if it’s a 100% chance of rain, I still wait till 2-3 hours before the session before calling it off. I have had MANY MANY times where we called off the session at noon. Then at 5–6pm it was gorgeous on the beach and raining inland. In addition, if it does happen to be raining during your session, we will figure out the next best time. We’ll lock in the new schedule before you leave to go home. For example, that may mean getting up at sunrise (I know that is usually VERY early but it’s gorgeous & cooler than sunset).

Of course, if for some reason we can not reschedule during this visit, no worries. Your session fee is transferable to another date within a year of our original date scheduled.

If we are shooting on the beach PLEASE remember that it’s ALWAYS windy on the beach. I STRONGLY suggest leaving hair & make-up to the pros. They are used to the beach wind & humidity and not to mention its a great excuse to get a little bit of pampering before the session. In the “Client Guide” which you get after you book there will be a list of local ladies that I highly recommend.

I STRONGLY suggest to take make the time to get hair & make-up done for any photo shoot.

Absolutely! In fact, that’s what I’m known for!

Throughout your session, I’ll give you tons of ideas and directions to help you feel completely at ease. You’ll also get gentle coaching to feel like the beauty queen you are. Don’t be surprised if I ask you to walk towards me like you’re on a catwalk or give me your ‘soft smile’ (aka smirk)! (Consider yourself warned! ;))

Ideally, a well rested, well fed, happy child. Since we know that doesn’t always happen as planned, feel free to bring some snacks and a few of your child’s favorite things. They’ll help your little one feel comfortable and enjoy our play date.

Pets, lollies, loveys, tutus, capes, umbrellas, instruments – whatever makes you and them happy. Same goes for seniors and adults!

Of course, we understand that unexpected things come up. If you need to reschedule, please call us as soon as possible. If you are sick,  it is better to go ahead and reschedule your session. The session fee can be transferred towards another session on another date as long as you re-book within 12 months from your original appointment time as schedule allows.

Typically, in 2-3 weeks, your images will be ready.

  • How does the “Online Gallery” work?  I will upload your 30+ edited images with a watermark on them. You will have 15 days to make your purchasing decisions. If you are having a hard time deciding you can schedule a Zoom design meeting with me to go over images & see images on your walls. I do charge $200 extending gallery fee, please make your selections before the gallery expires.

After your session, the images will be color corrected, brightness adjusted & some editing to them.

However, I do not heavily edit, “retouch” or “detail edit” every image in your gallery. As a result, some images in your gallery will have more touch-ups than others. I do this intentionally to demonstrate the achievable edits, such as removing people from the background, “popping” the colors, removing bruises, touching up “boo boo’s”, etc. This is to provide you with an idea of the final result. The majority of the images in the gallery will NOT undergo detailed editing.

For the images you select to purchase in your digital collection or print through me, I am happy to detail edit. In my experience, many images are nearly perfect except for specific areas that may require editing. Therefore, I will include some images in your gallery that I anticipate will need additional edits.
