Welcome to Sand Lily Photography, and thank you for being here!
Based in Destin, Florida, I photograph families, couples, moms-to-be, seniors and weddings along the beautiful Gulf Coast, from Pensacola to Panama City Beach and everywhere in between.
Whether it's your first family vacation or your sixth year coming back, my goal is a stress-free, fun session that gives you photos you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Sunrise and sunset sessions with a mix of guided poses and candid moments.
Every session includes a personal online gallery, high-resolution downloads and a print release for all edited images.
I'll meet you at your beach house or resort beach access, or suggest one of my favorite spots nearby.
Henderson Beach State Park has big dunes and no condos in the background. The public accesses along Scenic 98, like Crystal Beach, Tarpon Street and Pompano Street, are great too. For something more nautical, try the jetties at the Destin Pass.
Wide, sugar-white beaches along Scenic Gulf Drive. Miramar Regional Beach Access is a favorite, and I photograph lots of resort and beach-house sessions here.
The quieter west end of 30A, including Dune Allen, with natural dunes and soft, open beaches that are perfect for relaxed family sessions.
Grayton Beach State Park, often named one of the most beautiful beaches in the US, has tall dunes and a coastal lake. Staying in WaterColor? We can meet at your community beach access.
Seaside's pastel cottages and beach pavilions and Rosemary Beach's charming streets make beautiful backdrops. I also cover Seagrove Beach and Inlet Beach. Some 30A communities have their own rules for photographers, and I'll make sure we follow them.
John Beasley Park offers a wide beach and big dunes, with the Okaloosa Island Pier in view. Navarre Beach is a peaceful choice for an evening session.
Also serving Niceville, Pensacola Beach, Panama City Beach and everywhere in between. Just ask!

Summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day) books very fast. It's best to reserve your session as soon as you book your vacation.
Sunrise or sunset. The light is softest then, nobody is squinting, and the beaches are far less crowded.
If you're staying on the beach or have private beach access, I can come to you. Otherwise I'll recommend one of my favorite locations.
A deposit secures your date. The balance is due after your session, by cash, card, Venmo or invoice.
I watch the weather closely and won't cancel too early. Many gray days end with the most beautiful sunset! If it doesn't clear, we'll reschedule during your stay, or you'll get a full refund.
Simple, similar tones in solid colors photograph best. Too many patterns can look busy. Most of all, wear what you feel like yourself in.
Every image is cropped and color-corrected, and I remove people from the background. Your appearance is never altered unless you ask.
Tell me about your trip and who's coming, and I'll get back to you quickly.
