Joyful Beach Sessions for Vacationing Families
An elevated, faith-rooted photography experience that invites your family to pause, be present, and remember the goodness God is writing into your story.
The JFP experience
It's all about capturing the authentic moments of your life. Nothing more.
From the moment you reach out, I strive to make every step of the process smooth & enjoyable. I will handle all the details so all that you have to do is relax and enjoy your beach vacation. From a personal styling guide, to a detailed questionnaire that will help me serve your family best, all the way to the day your gallery is in your inbox, I will be with you every step of the way.
Step one
Contact Me.
The first step to booking your photos is to contact me by clicking on your button below. I will respond within 48 hours. I can't wait to chat about your session!
Step Two
Booking Your Session.
Once you've decided that we are a good fit (this part really matters), I will email you a booking link with my contract, a questionnaire, and invoice for a $150 non-refundable retainer. Once that is completed, you're officially booked!
Step Three
Personalize Your Session.
Once I have read through your questionnaire, we will work together via text or phone to determine your dream location, perfect outfits for everyone in your family & talk about your vision for your session. This will help me ensure an enjoyable, seamless session that the whole family will enjoy!
Step four
Your Photography Session.
The day has finally come! It's time to create magic & capture memories that will last a life time. During your session, you can expect a lot of fun, laughter & joy. I let the children lead, which always leads to genuine connections & a lot more smiles. But don't worry, mom... I will make sure we get that perfect Christmas card photo!
Step five
After Your Session.
During this time, I can ensure you that I am working hard on curating & editing your photos to perfection. You can expect to receive your beautiful images in 3 weeks or less!
Final Step
Your Gallery is Delivered.
In three weeks or less, you will receive an email with your perfectly curated images. Within your email there will be instructions on how to properly download, print and share your cherished images. I am also available to help you decide on prints, art, family albums, and more. These images deserved to be showcased for years to come!

The Heart Behind the Experience:
What Makes This Experience Different
I believe timeless photography is one of the most meaningful investments you can make — not just in images, but in the legacy of your family. My sessions are designed to feel effortless and refined, with every detail thoughtfully curated so you can be fully present. It’s my joy to create a space where connection takes center stage and the beauty of your story unfolds naturally. If you’re unsure which collection best fits your needs, I’d be honored to help guide you.
FAQ
How do I book, and how far in advance should I book?
Booking is easy—just fill out the inquiry form and I’ll send my availability. In peak season, dates fill up quickly (sometimes months out), so I recommend booking as soon as you have your vacation dates set.
How long will it take to receive my photos?
It usually takes anywhere between 10-14 days to receive your photos depending on the type of session you booked. You can pay a $200 rush fee to get them within 48 hours.
What’s the difference between “Luxury” and “All‑Inclusive” Collections?
The Luxury Collection includes 30 fully-edited images — and you can always upgrade for $200 to the full gallery. But if you know you are going to want all your photos from your session, you can save $50 by choosing the All‑Inclusive Collection.
What happens if it rains?
Although it rarely rains down here, I will be in touch throughout the day about your session. But remember, the weather here changes very quickly & clouds on the horizon make for the prettiest sunsets. I will reschedule (or refund) if there are thunderstorms.
Do you offer location recommendations?
Most definitely! Unless you are near a beach access with parking, I photograph at the local state parks.
Do I have to order prints through you?
Absolutely not! You are free to print from where ever you want. But I do have a print shop set up if that's easier for you. I do not recommend printing at Walgreens, Walmart, etc. I recommend printing at reputable print shops like Artifact Uprising and Mpix.
What should I wear?
I will send you my personal styling guide before your session, but I always recommend neutrals with a lot of textures & layers. I am also happy to help you choose outfits for your family.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely! Feel free to reach out & we can talk about all those details.
How many photos will I receive?
• Sweet & Simple: 15 hand-edited images (25-minute session).
• Luxury Collection: 30 hand-edited images (45 minutes).
• All-Inclusive and Extended Family Sessions: Expect 75+ images that capture your complete story.
* In all my sessions, I capture 100+ images but focus on editing the best ones.
Do you travel for sessions?
Sessions are typically held in 30A, Miramar Beach &, Destin. Traveling outside that area? I’m happy to accommodate—just inquire for a custom travel quote.
What if our kids or spouses aren’t into photos?
No worries—I’m used to working with toddlers and camera-shy adults! I keep sessions fun, relaxed, and proactive. As a former pediatric nurse, I have a ton of tips and tricks up my sleeve.
Not sure where to start? I’m just a message away and happy to help.
