Photography and Beach Portraits on the Emerald Coast

As a professional photographer in Destin, I know how wonderful it is to live along the NW Florida coast, a place so rich with natural treasures. I can't get enough of the nature, the wildlife, and all the activities associated with the beach lifestyle. I spend a lot of time photographing beach portraits from Ft Walton Beach to Panama City Beach. Each photo, each family picture is special to me.

A beautiful evening sky and a beautiful couple at the start of a new beginning. The Destin and Emerald Coast areas are major destinations for beach weddings. Couples are attracted from all over the country to the sugar white sand and amenities of the Emerald Coast.

Ceremonies range from very intimate (less that 6 attending) to large groups of several hundred. If you can picture yourself in this setting, I would love to work with you on your special occasion.

I have been watching an osprey nest for weeks hoping to catch one of them on the nest. Saturday morning I was lucky enough to catch both on the nest. Ospreys are very impressive birds. You can see their nests of sticks easily, since they build in open spaces on docks, telephone poles, dead trees, etc. I was once told they do this because they are a little clumsy and need a clear space for taking off and landing. That's hard to believe after watching them fish.

Picture the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, the incredible beaches of Destin and South Walton. Picture yourself or your family enjoying the Emerald Green water and the white sugar sands. Now, go one step further and picture a beautiful digital painting of that experience. Coastal Reflections specializes in such renderings.
