Hello

I’M AMANDA

My photographic journey began 16 years ago, driven by my fascination with capturing life’s narratives. Initially drawn to journalism, I soon realized my true calling was in photography. What captivates me the most is documenting life’s milestones and sharing the breathtaking scenery of Florida’s Emerald Coast with my clients.

I’m a Destin + 30A + Santa Rosa Beach Photographer with a Focus on Effortless Sessions, Colorful Skies, and Timeless Heirlooms for Generations to Enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

  • The session fee covers booking & shooting of the session.
  • 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) then we can set up a Zoom design meeting to put a print order together.

Yes, I have a few options for Digital Collections. Please complete the CONTACT FORM for more information & detailed pricing.

The session fee is due to book any session & is NON-REFUNDABLE. All session fees are paid via online with a Credit Card at time of booking. Session Fee is transferable to another date within a year of originally booked date. I try my hardest to get sessions re-booked within the time you are in town. This is why I need a good cell number to call you at while you are in town, just in case we need to reschedule our session.

Payment plans are available for the print orders.

Individual Family Sessions include Mom, Dad & kids.

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

Beach sessions book very fast for the Summer or “In Season” dates (May to November). It is recommended that you book your session once you book your vacation dates.

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.

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

I only shoot on the beach at Sunrise (Click here for Samples) or just before Sunset (Click here for Samples). The actual time of the session will depend on the time of the year you will be here.

These times are to maximize the use of natural light. These times are the best times of the day to take photos on the beach. We are limited due to the very BRIGHT and HOT sun that reflects off the water and white sand. Doing sessions on the beach at any other times during the day would cause very bright photos and A LOT of squinting.

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 NEWStyle & 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.

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!

I will give you tons of ideas and directions throughout your session to help you feel at ease. I will coach you along and make you feel like the beauty queen you are, but don’t be surprised if I ask you to walk towards me like you are on a catwalk or give me your ‘soft smile’ aka smirk! (I warned you! ;))

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 to help them 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!

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.

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

It’s a less than 90% chance of rain at the location we will wait till just before session to see if it’s actually raining. 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 that we have called off the session at Noon and then at 5-6pm it was gorgeous on the beach and raining inland. If it does happen to be raining during your session we will figure out the next best time for both of our schedules before you leave to go home. That may mean getting up at sunrise (I know that is usually VERY early but it’s gorgeous & cooler than sunset).

If for some reason we can not reschedule during this visit your session fee is transferable to another date within a year of our original date scheduled.

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.

Please note that I DO NOT extensively “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.
