There’s nothing sweeter than kiddos who are every bit of their parents’ hearts and completely stole mine! At the Bonds family beach session, the magic was undeniable: they had toes in the sand, sun-kissed giggles, and wishes whispered to starfish. They twirled through a dreamy mommy-daughter dance in the water And in between the fun, there were soft, quiet snuggles — the kind that speak love louder than words ever could. A perfect evening, full of heart and memories to last a lifetime.
One of the greatest gifts of being a family photographer is watching relationships grow—not just within families, but between families and the people who photograph them. Between 2021 and 2025, we’ve had the absolute joy of photographing the same incredible family at least six times, and somewhere along the way, they became so much more than clients, they became friends.
From our very first session together, there was an ease and trust that you can’t manufacture. Each time we met, it felt less like a photoshoot and more like catching up, laughing, sharing stories, watching the girls grow taller, braver, and more confident right before our eyes. Those moments are the heartbeat of what we do at Lashes and Lenses Photography.
Over the years, we’ve captured milestone moments and quiet in‑between ones. We’ve documented changing seasons, growing personalities, and the beautiful, imperfect connections that make a family uniquely theirs. Looking back through their galleries feels like flipping through a living scrapbook—proof that time really does move fast, but photographs have the power to slow it down. To capture a moment in time and put it in a time capsule.
What makes families like this so special to us is the trust they place in our vision, year after year. They show up as themselves, knowing they don’t need to perform or pose perfectly. They allow us into their story, and that is something we never take lightly.
This family represents everything we love about long‑term photography relationships: consistency, connection, and genuine care. We treasure them deeply and are endlessly grateful that they continue to choose Lashes and Lenses to document their lives and their special vacation memories.
To our returning families—thank you. You remind us why we do what we do, and why photographs matter so much. We can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes you, and we’re honored to be there, camera in hand, when it does.
It’s always such a joy for me when I get to spend the evening with the sweet Henderson family! This time was extra special because I was able to meet their extended family. They had so much fun together on that very special evening. They made memories on that beautiful evening that they will cherish for a lifetime.
This session was all about their precious little boy who is every beat of their hearts and completely stole mine!

We loved capturing this beautiful family during their beach photography session in Perdido Key, celebrating Victor’s first birthday! The sugar-white sand and soft Gulf waves created the perfect backdrop for their joyful photos. All the kiddos had so much fun making their wishes on the white starfish!

From laughter in the sand to sweet family moments, every photo reflected love, joy, and the excitement of Victor’s big day. They made memories on that beautiful special evening that they will cherish for a lifetime!
Happy 1st Birthday, Victor — you are O-Fishally One!

It’s always a joy for me when I get to spend the evening with this sweet Family! This session was extra special as their precious son Ryan was celebrating his 1st Birthday!

Some photo sessions are extra special… ✨ This sweet family came to us for updated portraits, and in the middle of all the laughter and playful moments, they found out they are expecting a little girl! 💕 Big brother is already practicing his best silly faces for her, and we just know she’s going to be so loved. Congratulations to this growing family! They made wonderful memories on that warm, beautiful evening that they will all cherish for generations to come.
