About Our Team, Lashes and Lenses Photography

Welcome to Lashes and Lenses Photography, the Premier Perdido Key photographer specializing in memorable beach photography and timeless coastal portraits. We offer family beach photography, engagements, full service weddings, maternity, and senior sessions, serving families and couples along the Gulf Coast, including Perdido Key, Pensacola, and Orange Beach. As a mother, daughter team, supported by a dedicated creative partner, it is our privilege to provide a seamless and elevated photography experience.

We feel incredibly grateful to call Perdido Key home, and it is an honor to preserve the meaningful moments our clients experience in this beautiful destination.

What began as a lifelong passion for photography has grown into a thoughtfully curated experience. Michelle, the “Lenses” behind the camera, has been capturing images for as long as she can remember, drawn to light, emotion, and the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast. Her love of photography was inspired by her grandfather, a well-known photographer, whose passion and artistry left a lasting impression and continues to influence her work today. With Allison’s background in marketing and brand development, Lashes and Lenses was built with intention, rooted in love, care, creativity, and faith, using photography as a way to honor the lives and moments God has so beautifully created.

In May of 2016, on a warm Gulf Coast evening, we photographed our very first family beach session. From that moment forward, we knew this was something special. Today, Lashes and Lenses Photography is known for elevated Perdido Key beach photography, offering a seamless, personalized experience and imagery that is both natural and artfully composed.

In addition to client work, Michelle’s beach photography artwork is available for purchase at the Perdido Artist Gallery and Gifts in Perdido Key, Florida. She is truly honored that her artwork is displayed in homes all across the United States, allowing a piece of the Gulf Coast to be enjoyed far beyond the shoreline.

Michelle, Photographer and Editor
Michelle is the creative vision behind every session. With a refined, timeless approach, she captures authentic connection while thoughtfully guiding each moment with ease. Her attention to detail, both during sessions and in the editing process, ensures every gallery feels polished, cohesive, and deeply personal. When she is not photographing, she enjoys spending time on the water with her husband, embracing the coastal lifestyle that inspires her work.

Allison, Marketing and Client Experience
Allison oversees branding, communication, and client experience. From your initial inquiry to the delivery of your final gallery, she ensures every interaction feels effortless and tailored. With a background in social media management and creative direction, she brings a cohesive and elevated vision to the brand. In her free time, Allison enjoys creating artwork and spending time with her dog, Lulabelle Rose.

Aunt Pat, Special Event Designer
Aunt Pat answers to many names, Mom, Mamaw, wife, and friend. Born in West Virginia and raised in a small town in Ohio, she raised her children in Illinois, and now enjoys retirement in Pensacola. Her passion for helping others celebrate life’s most meaningful moments began during her time selling fine jewelry at Sam’s Club, where, alongside her team, she consistently ranked among the top 15 clubs in the world.

Her approach was always rooted in care and intention. When couples celebrated anniversaries, they returned. When families grew, they returned again. Choosing the perfect piece, and ensuring each moment felt special, was always at the heart of what she did. That same thoughtful touch is woven into every wedding, celebration, and milestone we are honored to be part of today.
