Just look at that smile. You can't help but to smile along with him! 
We love photographing children, they are entertaining, honest and wear their emotions on their sleeves. We are well rehearsed in children,  Caitie has four,  I have five and I have taught art in elementary school, preschool and special education for many years before I turned to photography full time. 
         It is our goal make your child comfortable and truly happy so we may capture your child's true self and personality.

Let's look at it from your toddler's perspective for a minute. He is more than likely visiting the beach for the first time. This is a whole other strange and new environment for him, all senses are on high alert and emotions are ramping up for all the fight/flight. This can be seen in many forms depending on the child. They can be shy, scared, nervous, anxious, or happy until they figure out what is going on in this new place. They will look to you to guide them, if you appear upset or stressed they will think 'uh-oh, mom is nervous, I should be too".  Let's look at a few ways to help ease them into the situation so your session.

Y'all. This kid. His parents told me he had many expressions and little man did not disappoint. 
I personally feel like this one is a meme waiting to happen.

We meet at Grayton Beach State Park and George immediately showed us he was a beach loving boy. 
Little sister looks like she's going to be just like her big brother!

30a and Destin Family Photographer

I think this was one of my favorite sessions to date, however, it almost feels unfair to make such a bold statement.  Each year, Amy and I book such wonderful clients.  This group session was scheduled after my emergency surgery last July.

A most fantastic, awesome, fun, and super humble 30a and Destin photographer 

If you've made it to our blog, we're willing to bet you love color, too!  Check out this beautiful family and their fantastic fashion!
Sticking with a good thing is exactly why so many people vacation in the 30a and Destin areas year after year.  The beach. The people. The culture. The shopping. The food. The fishing. THE SUNSETS.  That's just a few things on the top of the list, but what we have to offer goes on and on and on.
There's something else we love; repeat clients.  These folks have been shooting with Amy for years!  When you find something good you just stick with it, right?

The Williams Family - A Spring Break Mini Session

Destin Beach Portrait
We get a little relaxed as beach photographers from the end of December until the middle of March.  While we may have some odd photography jobs here and there, the beach is chilly and windy, and the Destin and 30A vacationers usually aren't too interested in getting some portraits on the beach.

Destin + 30A Family and Senior Portrait Photographer

“A mini or a full session — which is best for us?” This is one of the most frequently asked questions that Amy and I receive in our inquiries from folks vacationing in the Destin and 30A areas.  It's a good question with a simple answer.  We just need to take a few things into consideration!

7 Easy Tips For a Kid Friendly Portrait Session

12/29/2018

Caitie Beth Nelson

Destin + 30A Family and Senior Portrait Photographer

A photography session with kids can be a good time, but oftentimes, they're little stinkers who can sense when we are anxious.  That's when all cooperation flies out the window. If you're on vacation it can be especially difficult! Traveling is rough, being in a new place can be overwhelming, sand can feel icky on their toes, and sometimes the bedtime and nap time routine is all out of whack.  We really can't expect them to be their best, but we can be encouraging and have a good time along the way!

Here’s what we tell our Destin and 30A clients:

1.  Tell them you're meeting your friend. We've exchanged emails and we've probably had a phone call or two. That's good enough to be considered friends, right? I'm just the friend from Florida who loves the beach and taking pictures. Let's all just hang out and have fun! (I can't take the credit for this advice, though.  I once photographed a married couple who were both psychologists and they told this to their toddler sons.  Those boys warmed up to me immediately!)

30A Beach Cake Smash!

Caitie Beth Nelson

Destin & 30A Family + Senior Portrait Photographer

Did you vacation along Florida’s 30a for your 1st birthday celebration? I didn’t, either. Bummer, right? But, this little cutie got to do it! (Awesome idea, mom and dad!)

Of course, a celebration with a beach portrait session was in order.  Beach photographer? Check! Cute outfit?  Check!  Kid size beach chair?  Check!  Balloon? Check!  Cute baby?  CHECK!


We met at Grayton Beach State Park, beside Watercolor.  This is one of our favorite locations.  Grandma and Grandpa were there, too.  It was an adorable family ordeal.  It was such a bright evening!  So many of our first portraits together had a lovely and warm glow.  As the sun began to set and the light became more soft, we set up the cake smash scene.  A cake smash…at the beach?!  It sounds extra messy, doesn’t it?  
It was extra cute, and extra beautiful.  This boy is loved so, so much.  And it really shows.

Ohhh the excitement!
