MEET MYLISSA
Hey ya’ll!
I remember my first camera…it was a Kodak Ektralite 10. I use to save my allowance to get my filmed developed. The excitement of momma taking me to the Kodak booth to ship it off and then pick it back up! There was nothing quite like it! I would bounce around just SO excited to see my pictures!
That birthday present from my parents started my love for photography. And I can’t thank them enough for nurturing that side of me!
Even as a kid, I was drawn to capturing “moments”. And I am still drawn to capturing real life moments…a momma playing with her baby, a hidden moment between a bride and groom…real life happening!
These are the images, that when you look back at them, will make you smile!
And if I can make you have that kind of reaction to your memories, I’ve done my job well!


I was born and raised in Texas, but after marrying my husband Rick, I moved out to the beautiful beaches of Florida.
I was born and raised in Texas, and after marrying my husband Rick, I moved out to the beautiful beaches of Panama City Beach. Since then, I’ve traveled all over the country documenting love stories for couples and families.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside in my flower beds, curled up with a good book, making my soaps and lip balms, playing with my dog or at the beach…
And the perfect day has ALL of that in it…along with coffee…it MUST have coffee!!

OUR CLIENTS HAVE THE SWEETEST THINGS TO SAY
She knew exactly what we were going for, and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures, and were super flexible when it came to adjusting for weather. Most importantly- her photos are stunning.
Are we the Perfect fit?
COFFEE
It is my lifeblood! I started drinking coffee sitting in my grandpa’s lap every morning before going to school. And it has been a part of my life ever since. I had a “coffee bar” in my house before home coffee bars were a thing!
Are we the Perfect fit?
ESSENTIAL OILS
Lavendar heals everything! I truly believe in the benefits of essential oils. I use them in all my homemade soaps, lip balms and my own fragrances.
Are we the Perfect fit?
TRUE CRIME
I have always been fascinated with true crime, and at one time, contemplated becoming a forensics photographer. I’m totally fascinated with the “how” a crime is solved and figuring out “why” people do the them.
Are we the Perfect fit?
MY GUYS
These two are my world! My husband is my biggest supporter and I could not do what I do without him! And Toby is 120 lbs of fur love! He is my constant companion and the best snuggler!
Are we the Perfect fit?
THE BEACH
Other than God, nothing restores my soul more. It is my happy place! To soak in the healing waters, walk along the shore or to sit and watch a sunrise…
