Your complete resource for Destin Florida family beach photography by Shelley B Photography. Location guides, tips, golden hour info, and everything you need to plan your Emerald Coast session.
Destin and the Emerald Coast are among the most beautiful places in the country for family beach photography — the quartz-white sand, the turquoise water, the extraordinary golden hour light that makes this stretch of Florida Gulf Coast so special. We photograph families throughout Destin, Miramar Beach, Fort Walton Beach, and the full Florida Panhandle.
We shoot with a Hasselblad medium format camera at 100 megapixels. Both Shelley and Blaine photograph every session together. We book one family per sunset and come to you wherever you're staying. See our Florida Panhandle portfolio — then contact us here when you're ready.
