Jennifer was amazing! I work in the content world, and I have worked with hundreds of photographers over the years, I can confidently say Jennifer is at the top of her game.

Her communication was top-notch. She was highly accommodating to us being late, having babies and children, and not really knowing where we were located in Florida. She went above and beyond what she was hired to do in every way.

I would HIGHLY recommend her for any photography needs at the beach, she is a PRO.-DrewView Photographer profile
Jennifer was great! Always responded quickly to questions and was very flexible. She had great suggestions for shoots, and our family reunion photos came out great.-MelissaView Photographer profile
Absolutely amazing pictures. Sara was great at capturing our babies' attention to get some amazing photos.

Choose her, and you will not be disappointed!-AndrewView Photographer profile
We had such a great experience using Local Lens and our photographer Sara was amazing! The booking was easy and lots of communication via this site. She was flexible and watched the weather closely to make sure everything was perfect. We did the 30 minute shoot and we are a family of 7. There were so many great shots and we got everything in with plenty of time. Every single picture was breathtakingly beautiful and I loved them all. This made our vacation extra special!-Jennifer HedgepathView Photographer profile
Sara was super! She worked around our schedule and was very lively and professional. We had a bunch of toddlers, and she knew exactly what to do to get the shots. We would definitely recommend her for family photoshoots!-LizView Photographer profile
Alina was wonderful! I would not hesitate to book her again if we're visiting 30A.-JocelynView Photographer profile
Ivana was great and super sweet. She knew all the right angles to take a perfect picture. I will definitely do more busy with her in the future.-MelissaView Photographer profile
Sara was the best! She took our family sunset beach photos, and she was so engaged with all of us, making sure she got the BEST shots. She was fantastic and so patient with our little ones (ages 18 months through 7 years old), including our two-year-old, who wasn't having it! :) She even waited when we were finished to make sure she didn't miss any last minutes of sunset. I HIGHLY recommend Sara - we all loved her, and the pictures she took are PERFECT!-Stewart FamilyView Photographer profile
Sara was our photographer this past week and we cannot give her enough praise! The entire process was seamless. Communication was prompt throughout the booking process and our shoot started exactly on time.

Our group was a large, multigenerational family and Sara managed us all beautifully - she engaged the little kids, kept the teens from feeling awkward and got spectacular shots that made us all look Hollywood-worthy.

Five Stars!-Cathy MarkwayView Photographer profile
Sara did an amazing job capturing some awesome photos of our large family! This family vacation was one where for the first time in many years we all vacationed together so we wanted to capture some special memories. Sara was early, super friendly, social and obviously very talented. I would definitely book with Sara again if vacationing in the Panama City Beach area again! Thanks Sara!-Julie LanceView Photographer profile

Every couple is different — as unique as a snowflake! And if you are thinking of doing a couple’s photoshoot, your photos should reflect who you are as a couple. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And while you might get a bit stressed thinking about how to pose, we are here to tell you that it’s not as difficult as you think! The first thing is just to have fun, and then we have gathered a couple of photoshoot ideas to make the result as unique as your love. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Photoshoot ideas for couples: ⁣⁣
⁣
💡Plan a surprise activity and capture that beautiful reaction. ⁣⁣
⁣
💡Go for a weekend getaway somewhere new and take photos there.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Mad about football or another sport? Support your team or have fun playing your favorite sport yourselves.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Experiment with perspective. Imagine having one of you further away than the other and have fun pretending one of you is a giant.⁣⁣
⁣
💡You don’t always need your entire body or face in the picture. Why not have the focus on holding hands or linking feet? Walking away shots are also great.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Using a theme gives you a chance to have fun and relax, so the posed shots will come naturally.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Go back to the idea of finding that thing in common and use a prop.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Utilizing balloons or water can also add another dimension to your photoshoot.⁣⁣
⁣
💡Dress up as your favorite characters and reenact scenes from your favorite moments. ⁣⁣
⁣
