Motherhood taught me how to see. The coast taught me how to capture

I'm Lisa Marie- photographer, mother of four, bonus mom of three, and the creative behind The 30A Beach Photographer. I specialize in family sessions, proposals, elopements, and weddings along Florida's Emerald Coast, including 30A, Seaside, WaterColor, Rosemary Beach, Destin, and Panama City Beach.

My work is relaxed, natural, and rooted in connection. I photograph families the way they actually are …saltwater hair, sandy feet, and genuine affection capturing the kind of images that feel nostalgic as soon as you see them.

I'm known for shooting in the water at sunrise and sunset, chasing the light, and keeping sessions guided without stiff posing. Families choose me for movement, emotion, and legacy over perfection.

I grew up in Oklahoma and still travel back seasonally for sessions, creating a unique 30A–Oklahoma connection for families who split their stories between both places.

My daughter Makayla photographs alongside me, and building this business together has been one of life's sweetest adventures. And life just got a little sweeter.. I'm engaged to Bo, and between us we have seven kids ranging from 7 to 22. Three of mine are girls, one is my boy, and Bo brought three more girls into the mix. Loud, joyful, and never boring, which honestly makes me even better at what I do. I know exactly what it takes to get that shot when real life is happening all around you.

Together, we document families who value connection, storytelling, and the beauty of real life…on vacation, at home, or stepping into their next chapter.
