Jenny + Family | Alys Beach 30A Portrait Photographer

Jenny + Family | Alys Beach 30A Portrait Photographer

I appreciate how much Jenny and her family cherish documented memories. They vacation to the Destin/30A area every summer for their summer beach family getaway. Each year, they hire a photographer to document their growing family. This year, they wanted an Alys Beach portrait photographer to document their stay in one of the prettiest destinations!!!! And BOY, was it gorgeous! I could have EASILY photographed them for hours just wandering down 30A from town to town. πŸ™‚ Not only are they a super photogenic family, but also very stylish (as you’ll see below)!

Knowing that Jenny is a photographer in Frisco, Texas, I figured they would come dressed to impress. Well, that was an understatement because I don’t think they even needed my style guide to know how to coordinate clothing. πŸ™‚ Another thing that stuck out to me during our time together was how personable they were β€” This is actually something I miss from my clients/couples in Virginia!!! I can tell that this is a beautiful quality Jenny also carries in her photography business with her clients as well. πŸ™‚ I hope our paths cross again in the near future – Or maybe even the next time I’m in Frisco, Texas for a JMU Championship game!! πŸ˜‰ Well… whenever football becomes a thing again. πŸ˜‰

Thank you!!!

Thank you, Jenny and your lovely family, for taking the time from your vacation to document these special memories! What a great way to conclude your vacation on 30A!!! The time together flew by WAY too fast, but I loved every minute with you all. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation here on the Emerald Coast!!! πŸ™‚
