The sweet Gambill family had so much fun at their family session. Their little girl is every beat of her parents’ hearts and completely stole mine too! Their little girl is absolutely precious and full of joy. They had a ton of fun making wishes on the starfish, swinging in the air, and playing in the water. They made memories that beautiful summer evening that they will cherish for a lifetime!

The Elmer Girls Trip

Leave a comment

Some birthdays deserve more than a cake—they deserve an unforgettable experience.

Sherri chose to celebrate this special milestone with some of the people who mean the most to her. Joined by her four beautiful daughters, and her four precious granddaughters—with another sweet grandbaby on the way—this all-girls beach getaway was filled with love, laughter, and memories they’ll treasure forever.

The weather certainly kept us on our toes! Throughout the evening, we experienced just about everything the Gulf Coast could offer—soft clouds, dramatic storm skies, a little rain, and finally beautiful sunshine. Each change in the weather created a completely different backdrop, making this session even more unique and reminding us that sometimes the most beautiful moments come when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Happy Birthday, Sherri! Thank you for trusting us to capture such a meaningful chapter in your family’s story. We hope these photographs always bring you back to this incredible trip and the joy of celebrating together. We can’t wait to welcome your newest little blessing to the beach for future family photos!

Shannon + Alex had a beautiful evening for their very special surprise engagement. Alex did an amazing job planning every last detail, and sweet Shannon was completely surprised. As they walked arm in arm down the beach, Alex led her back into the magical sand globe where he got down on one knee and asked Shannon to spend forever with him and of course she said YES! They made memories that beautiful evening that they will cherish for a lifetime!

Celebrating Mothers Day

Leave a comment

Celebrating some of our past Mothers in honor of Mother’s Day! 🤍

As moms, we are so often the ones behind the camera — capturing the little moments, fixing the outfits, wiping sandy faces, and making sure everyone else’s memories are preserved. But your children deserve to have memories with you in them too. Years from now, these photographs will become some of their most treasured keepsakes — reminders of your love, your laughter, your hugs, and the way you showed up for them in every season of life.

It is so important for us moms to step into the frame. Not because everything has to be perfect, but because these moments matter. The messy hair, sandy toes, sun-kissed cheeks, and sweet embraces are the memories your children and husbands will cherish for a lifetime.

One day these images will tell your family’s story — the season you were in, the love you shared, and the beautiful memories you made together along the way.

“The sand will brush off… the tans will fade and the salt will wash away, but the memories will last forever.”

It’s always such a joy for me when I get to spend the evening with the dear Banks family! This time was extra special as I got to meet their new precious baby girl! The kiddos are every beat of Mom and Dad’s hearts and completely have mine! They all had so much fun together blowing bubbles and lots of hugs on that very special evening. They all made memories on that beautiful evening that they will cherish for generations to come!

Cody + Kadance’s Surprise Engagement

Cody + Kadance’s Beautiful Surprise Engagement

Where do we even begin? Cody truly knocked it out of the park planning this perfect moment for Kadance, and she had no idea. From the sweet proposal on the sand to all the emotion, love, and joy captured in these photos, we are just obsessed with this session.

What makes this story even more special? Cody came across a backdrop inspiration photo he loved and shared the idea with his aunt. She took that vision and thoughtfully created a stunning custom backdrop just for their proposal. It turned out beautifully and added the perfect finishing touch to their special moment.

We’re also excited to share that Aunt Pat will now be working alongside us to design custom backdrops for all of your special occasions. We are so grateful to welcome her to the Lashes and Lenses Photography team and can’t wait to create more beautiful moments together.

Thank you, Cody and Kadance, for allowing us to capture such an unforgettable memory.
