Photography as a profession has been in the back of my mind since I started high school. I attended an all arts magnet high school in Montgomery, Alabama where my true love started for photography. I learned how to roll film and set it in my camera in a dark room, capture images in the right settings, process the film, and edit it in the lab. I attended that high school for a year, and being a mil

itary child, my family and I, ventured on to our next and last PCS assignment. I finished high school in Panama City and graduated college as well. I am an elementary teacher and love my profession and my kiddos! I have rekindled my love with photography and have prayed very hard for a while about this new journey. I am a passionate and hard working person and love life, especially to capture it for others! I am married to my handsome hubby, who I have been with since high school. My three boys are my world and I am very blessed with a huge family!

The beach is truly a magical location. You never know what will happen…even me until maybe ten seconds before a proposal happens from a secret point to ring finger from the boyfriend 😝.

These two are truly adorable… came as boyfriend and girlfriend to their session but leaving as fiancés!

Congratulations again, truly a session I’ll always remember. 🤍

So hard to choose just one 🤩 what a way to start off summer 2024!

How 🔥 are these two!!

Both are local medical heroes and scheduling was a bit of challenge but I’m definitely flexible and was so glad we could make a date and time work. 🤍

Their chemistry and love for one another is undeniable. I’m so appreciative that they were up for exploring a new little spot with me.

Enjoy these little sneaks 🔥

They are the sweetest!!! Super excited for them!!! 🤍

The sweetest baby boy with the cutest little jeans! 😍

We visited the same location as we did for his newborn pictures but St Andrews received a renourishment between the two sessions. Definitely a neat process to see in person and to see what a difference it does for our local beaches.

My annual session with the Doll Family is always such a memorable time. I’m so thankful for this momma to trust me with capturing her family year after year. It truly means a lot to my photographer heart. 🤍

This sunset was one of the BEST sunsets I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen quite a few. Be sure to scroll to the last screenshot. Pure beauty!!

A big question I get asked is how many photos will you receive back from your session… there’s never a set number. But I do have a minimum that I guarantee returned… however I usually provide you with more than you expect. 🫣😂

If I could have posted more screenshots of this session I would have but I already shared quite a bit lol. 😂 They truly know how to work the camera and their pure genuine love shows through in each and every picture.

I’m so thankful for them and our friendship. 🤍

Such a fun and beautiful family!

Literally picture perfect…

I truly love when kids can be kids during sessions. Every mom/parent has an idea of how a session should go. But I honestly believe to live in the moment… even if that means they get soaked, or want to pick up every crab they see during the session 🫣😂… or even rough house with their sibling. They won’t always be this way for photos… they will one day stay still and say “cheese” for the camera. I’m a huge proponent of living in the moment and just loving on those babies during your session. Leave the hard work to
Me and enjoy your family during this memory making moment. 🤍

Hi! It’s me! Posting late in the night as usual, it’s me! (Heart this status if you re-read this and sang it to the tune of Taylor’s song… 😂)

What an ending to 2023! Very busy personally and professionally. I am truly thankful for my 2023 KHP clients and super excited to see what 2024 brings for KHP!

Spring minis will be announced in February but the dates will be for March/April. These are perfect for families and/or just kids. Location is TBD.

I am also booking for Big Bad Seniors of 2024 and also booking into the summer season. 🤍

If you were/are a KHP client, I would love if you could leave a review on my page. 🥰

Enjoy these screenshots of one of my beautiful families I haven’t had the chance to post from 2023 just yet! This is just a start but there is more to come! 😍🤩

Hi KHP followers and Happy Saturday!

It’s been a HOT minute 🥵… da dum 🥁😂😂 seriously though. Who forgot to turn the AC on outside.

But honestly it’s been more than a crazy start to the new school year for my little family, so please keep my little family in your thoughts and prayers.
And I finally have a chance to breathe for a quick moment to say “hi!” And share this beautiful family with y’all!! 🥰

Another perfect sunrise. The time for these photos can be scary but not your photos, I promise. 😍😍

Another announcement:
Since September begins next week 😬😬… keep your eyes out for KHP Fall/Holiday Minis that will be posted soon! There’s not many more weeks left until the holiday crazy begins. And I’d love to be your photographer! 🤩

(P.S. I love help coordinating outfits, and providing suggestions. They really do help to enhance those photos even more. 🤍)

BTS of last night’s sunset. 😍🤌🏽

Y’all don’t let those weather predictions scare you away. They produce the most unique sunset skies. 🩷

BUT it also makes it so hard as a photographer to decide whether to postpone a session or not. It could look threatening but become harmless. 🤪

Baby cowboy boots on the beach... literally the CUTEST thing ever. 😍

This was an amazing maternity session with a glowing momma and proud daddy. I was so excited when momma agreed to end the session splashing in the water but it may have been more than splashing. 🫣😂 but look how much fun they had and core memories were definitely created!

Also, stormy weather was predicted for the evening, thankfully stayed away from us but it created some beautiful clouds!

Congrats to this future family of four! 🤩

Those summer storms may be scary BUT they lead to some BEAUTIFUL photo opportunities!! This gorgeous family had the best time splashing and making memories while feeling like they had their own private beach.

We spent an hour together and they were able to have fun and just be with each other and make each little second count. Even mom and dad got in on the splashing and jumping waves action.

They have the most precious babies and I loved spending my sunset with them. 🥰

Their furbaby is so excited to be a big sister! 🤍
So thankful to document these moments for them, this sweet baby girl is so loved.

I love to showcase items and include items that are special to my clients. Check out this multi-generational HANDMADE wooden crib, the most precious handmade quilted blanket, and a hand painted wall in her room. 😍😍

The SWEETEST family. Definitely one very loved, adorable baby boy!! We had a great walk exploring the Lynn Haven Bayou Park & Preserve at sunset recently. Those pesky bugs tried to start coming out and I’m not ready for it! 🫣😂
