The Pittman Family

Leave a comment

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.

There’s something so special about having multiple generations together for a family beach session, but the Guthrie family’s session was definitely all about the kiddos, between the sandy toes, sweet smiles, and all of their little personalities, they made this session so much fun.

There’s nothing quite like having grandparents, parents, and cousins all together in one place, especially with a beautiful Perdido Key sunset as the backdrop.

The MacPherson Family

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.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice!

We absolutely loved welcoming the Aultman Family back for another beautiful beach session! There is something so special about getting to photograph returning families and watching their little ones grow year after year. This session was extra special because I finally got to meet sweet Emmie and capture her alongside her beautiful big sisters!

These sweet girls brought so much personality, laughter, and fun to the beach! From precious sister moments to making special memories with Grandma and Grandpa, their session was filled with all the things that make family memories so special.

Sugar and spice and everything nice…that’s exactly what these little girls are made of! And we know these are memories the Aultman Family will treasure for generations to come.

Waiting for Baby Lucas | Matt & Stephanie’s Maternity Session

Leave a comment

There is something so special about getting to capture a family as it grows! 🤍

It was such a joy to capture this beautiful maternity session for Matt & Stephanie as they prepare to welcome their precious baby boy, Lucas, in just a few short months. We had the honor of capturing so many special memories for them when they were expecting their first baby boy, Ryan, which made having him there for this chapter even sweeter.

Watching Ryan love on Mommy and be a part of celebrating his baby brother made the evening extra special. Baby Lucas is already surrounded by so much love, and we know Matt, Stephanie & Ryan simply cannot wait to welcome him into their family!

They spent this beautiful fall evening making memories together that they will cherish for a lifetime, and we feel so blessed to have been there to capture another special chapter in their family’s story. 

Charity + Chris’s Surprise Engagement

Leave a comment

What Charity thought was going to be a sweet couples session turned into a moment she will remember forever! 💍🤍

Chris had something much bigger planned… a surprise proposal! He wanted every detail to feel extra special and completely personal to Charity, so Aunt Pat designed a gorgeous backdrop tailored to everything she loves, creating the perfect setting for Chris to ask the most important question.

And, of course, she said YES!

There was so much love between these two and so many sweet moments to capture. From the excitement of that first “yes,” to laughter, dancing, lots of hugs and kisses, and simply soaking in the beginning of this beautiful new chapter together—it was such a special evening!

Chris and Charity also made wishes on a keepsake starfish ornament that they’ll hang on their very first Christmas tree together. And to end the evening, Aunt Pat gifted them a keepsake jar filled with sand and shells from Johnson’s Beach—a little piece of the place where their forever officially began.

Congratulations, Chris & Charity! We are so thankful you trusted Lashes & Lenses Photography to capture such an unforgettable moment in your love story. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, dancing, and many more beautiful memories together! 🤍

Ryan’s Young, Wild and 2 Birthday

Young, Wild & TWO!

What a joy it has been watching sweet Ryan grow! We’ve been blessed to be a tiny part of his story since before he was even born, when we photographed his parents’ baby reveal. From capturing his six-month milestone, to celebrating his first birthday, and now, somehow, that sweet little baby is TWO!

We are so thankful to have been there again to capture Ryan’s 2nd birthday and be a part of such a special evening with his family. He had the best time playing with his dinosaurs, giving them lots of hugs, feeding them leaves, and soaking up all the love from Mom and Dad.

A special thank you to Aunt Pat for creating the adorable Young, Wild & Two photo backdrop and putting together such a fun setup for Ryan’s birthday session! It was the perfect setting for capturing all of these sweet memories.

And what better way to finish off such a special evening than playing on the playground? For Ryan, that was truly the icing on the birthday cake!

Watching our littlest clients grow and getting to capture these precious milestones along the way is truly one of the sweetest parts of what we do.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ryan! We have loved watching you grow!

Some sessions are all about the little moments, and this one was filled with so many sweet ones!

This adorable little boy is truly every beat of his family’s hearts, and it was so special capturing the love they share. From playing with starfish in the sand and riding on Daddy’s shoulders to lots of snuggles with Mom and Dad, there was no shortage of smiles, laughter and love.

There is just something special about a summer evening at the beach with the people you love most. These are the moments that seem so simple now, but one day will be some of their most treasured memories. What a beautiful evening for this sweet family to remember for generations to come!

Best friends, boyfriends, and a lifetime of memories!

These two have grown up side by side, with families who are best friends too, making this session extra special. And of course, we had to include their boyfriends for a few photos, who just happen to be best friends themselves!

So many years of friendship, laughter, and memories, captured during a beautiful evening on the beaches of Perdido Key. It doesn’t get much sweeter than this!
