Sunset Family Photographer | The Bartlett Family Reunion Session

Meet the Bartlett family — visiting our beautiful beaches all the way from New Mexico for an extended family reunion, a vow renewal, and the family session we squeezed right into the middle of it all! As a sunset family photographer on the Emerald Coast, getting to celebrate this many milestones with one family in a single trip was such a treat.

A Reunion, A Vow Renewal & A Family Session

This family was an absolute joy to work with. With multiple generations gathered together for the reunion plus a romantic vow renewal weekend, our session had so much to celebrate. We focused on capturing the connection — the easy hugs, the laughter, and those quiet little moments that tell the real story of a family.

A Sunset That Matched Their Outfits Perfectly

We got the prettiest sunset to match their outfits perfectly. The Bartletts wore soft, complementary tones that absolutely glowed in the warm Gulf light. When the wardrobe and the sky are in conversation like this, every frame feels like a piece of art.

Tips for Planning a Family Reunion Beach Session

If you’re traveling in for a reunion or special weekend, a sunset family session is one of the easiest ways to come home with portraits everyone in the group will treasure. Coordinating (not perfectly matching) outfits in soft beachy tones photograph beautifully, and an evening time slot gives the most flattering light. For families visiting from out of town, my 30A & Destin photography locations guide and visitor guide can help you plan your trip.

Why an Emerald Coast Sunset Session Is Worth the Trip

From the sugar-white sand to the famously emerald-green water and unbeatable sunsets, our beaches give traveling families one of the most beautiful portrait backdrops anywhere. Even families flying in from places as far as New Mexico tell me the same thing — the photos are worth the trip.

Hi, I'm Amanda Eubank — a premier Emerald Coast photographer specializing in family, senior, engagement, maternity & newborn portraits along Florida's most iconic coastline. For more than a decade, I've been capturing the natural beauty and easy magic of Destin, 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Rosemary Beach, Watersound, Seaside, Watercolor, and the surrounding sugar-white shoreline. Every gallery is tailored to reflect the people in front of the camera — warm, candid, and connection-driven — designed to feel less like a photo shoot and more like a memorable time with your favorite people. Whether you're planning a vacation session or marking a milestone, I'd love to create timeless, emotive images that feel like the trip itself. I'd love to hear from you.
