The Mills | A Love Worth Capturing

November 12, 2026November 12, 2026Leave a comment

Nearly 30 years of marriage and a love story still worth celebrating!

When Angela reached out about scheduling a beach session with her husband, she shared something that made this session extra special. Although they had taken family photos with their children over the years, they hadn’t had professional portraits of just the two of them since they were married nearly 30 years ago!

We loved getting to spend an evening with the Mills on the beautiful beaches of Perdido Key, capturing their laughter, sweet smiles, and those little moments that tell the story of a love that has grown through the years.

It was such a joy to give these two a chance to step in front of the camera together again. Here’s to nearly 30 years of marriage and many more beautiful memories ahead!

Baley & Luke | A Sweet Fall Couples Session

October 26, 2026Leave a comment

There is something so special about getting to capture another chapter in a couple’s love story! We first had the honor of photographing Baley and Luke during their surprise engagement, so we were thrilled to have them back in front of our camera during their fall vacation!

It was such a joy to photograph these two again! From the sweet moments to the genuine laughter in between, it is so evident how deeply Baley and Luke love one another and how much fun they have together. Their happiness is simply contagious!

One of our favorite images from their session is of Baley and Luke walking hand in hand toward the water, leaving their footprints in the sand. It brings to mind the beautiful poem Footprints in the Sand, a reminder that we never walk through life alone. Through every season, both the joyful moments and the difficult ones, Jesus is walking beside us, and when the journey becomes too difficult, He carries us. What a beautiful reminder as these two continue their journey together!

Baley and Luke, thank you for allowing us to capture another beautiful season of your story. We loved seeing you both again and hope to photograph many more special memories in the years to come!

Cole + Rachel | A Surprise Beach Engagement in Perdido Key

October 19, 2026Leave a comment

Some love stories have a way of coming full circle, and Cole and Rachel’s surprise engagement on the beautiful beaches of Perdido Key was one of those unforgettable moments!

Cole did an amazing job planning every little detail to make this evening extra special for Rachel. We had the honor of helping bring his vision to life by setting up a romantic beach picnic, complete with a beautiful “Will You Marry Me?” sign, a dozen stunning red roses, and a delicious charcuterie board.

But what made this proposal even sweeter was the special story behind it! During one of their first trips to Perdido Key, before they were even officially a couple, Cole wrote his initials, RCW, in the sand. Rachel spotted them and thought he was already imagining her initials with his last name! Little did she know that Cole’s first name was actually Russell, and they just happened to share those same initials. What started as a hilarious misunderstanding became a memory they would never forget.

Fast-forward to this beautiful evening, and those initials took on a whole new meaning! We were so excited to capture a special photo recreating that sweet memory, knowing that one day soon, RCW really will be Rachel’s initials!

From the heartfelt proposal to the sweet moments that followed, with each moment showing how much they are totally in love with each other, to a surprise fly over by our very own Blue Angels, it was definitely an evening so special and one to cherish for a lifetime! It was an absolute joy to capture this beautiful new chapter in their love story.

Congratulations, Cole and Rachel! Thank you for allowing Lashes and Lenses Photography to be part of such an incredibly special evening. We wish you both a lifetime of love, blessings and happily ever after!

It is always such a joy getting to spend an evening with the sweet Kubacak Family! One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is watching families grow and seeing how much the kiddos have changed since our last session. This evening was extra special because I finally got to meet precious baby Charlotte, who is absolutely adorable!

The evening was filled with so much laughter, love, and silliness! From flying through the air like airplanes to having their very own dance party and sneaking in a game of rock, paper, scissors behind Grandma and Grandpa, these kiddos kept everyone smiling!

It’s these sweet, playful moments that make family memories so special. What a blessing to capture another chapter in the Kubacak Family’s story and preserve memories they will treasure for years to come!

The Pittman Family was such a joy to photograph! It was so easy to see that their sweet girl is every beat of her mom and dad’s hearts, and she completely stole mine, too. Her personality, her smiles, and the love between the three of them made this session so special.

One of my favorite moments was watching her share a daddy-daughter dance on the beach under the full moon. It was one of those simple, beautiful moments that felt a little bit magical and made the perfect ending to their evening.

The Pittman Family made memories that will be cherished for years to come.
