What a joy it was to spend the evening with the sweet Rittenberry Family! This session was all about their precious little girl, who is truly every beat of her parents’ hearts, and I have to say, she stole a piece of mine, too!

From her adorable smile to her sweet personality, this sweet girl had so much fun making wishes on her starfish, swinging in the air and blowing bubbles. It was so special capturing the love this family shares, from sweet snuggles and kisses to those precious little moments that mean so much.

These are the memories that make family photography so special, and I know the Rittenberry Family will treasure them for 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!

There is something so special about bringing multiple generations of family together for a beach vacation, and the Oakes family made every moment count!

At the heart of it all was sweet little Beckett, who was absolutely adorable and clearly the heartbeat of his entire family! From playing in the soft white sand to soaking up endless snuggles, smiles, and love from everyone around him, Beckett was the star of the show.

The afternoon was filled with laughter, sweet moments, and the kind of family love that makes these gatherings so meaningful. What a blessing to have so many generations together, making beautiful memories that will be treasured for a lifetime!

Thank you, Oakes family, for letting Lashes & Lenses Photography capture these precious moments together!

There’s something special about spending time together on the beautiful beaches of Perdido Key, Florida!

We loved capturing the Conklan Family during their beach session. From the sweet smiles to the laughter and natural moments shared together, this family made our time behind the camera so enjoyable.

One of our favorite parts of the session was seeing the special bond between this brother and sister. Their close relationship made for some sweet moments, especially when they recreated a favorite childhood photo! It was such a fun way to celebrate how much they’ve grown while showing that some things never change.

With beautiful white sand and a gorgeous coastal sky as their backdrop, it was the perfect setting to capture memories they can treasure for years to come.

Thank you, Conklan Family, for allowing Lashes & Lenses Photography to capture these special moments!

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.

There is something so special about having the whole family together at the beach, and the MacPherson Family’s session was filled with so much love!

With Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa all together, there was no question who the center of everyone’s world was, sweet Wallace! This precious little boy is every beat of their hearts, and the love they all share for him was so beautiful to capture.

Wallace also made sure to bring along one of his favorite things, his model U.S. Navy Blue Angels airplane! His love for the Blue Angels is already going strong, and watching him play with his favorite plane in the sand made for some of the sweetest moments of the evening.

And I have to admit, Wallace completely stole my heart too! His sweet personality and adorable smile made this session one I won’t soon forget.

We know these beautiful memories of Wallace surrounded by the people who love him most will be treasured by the MacPherson Family for generations to come.
