Destin Photographer
Request Your tampa Session Guide
Let’s talk availability and investment.
Real moments, honest connection, and timeless photos that feel like your family.
If you're looking for a Destin photographer who knows how to capture the real stuff—your kids playing in the surf, your family laughing mid-hug, your toddler with sandy toes and a stubborn streak—you’re in the right place.
We photograph families up and down Florida’s Gulf Coast, and Destin is one of our favorite places to do it. Whether you're here on vacation or you're lucky enough to live here full-time, we keep things simple, stress-free, and centered on connection—not posing.
We don’t over-direct. We don’t over-edit. And we definitely don’t overstay our welcome.
Most sessions are up to 60 minutes—but they don’t have to last that long. If we get what we need in 20 minutes, amazing. It’s about getting the good stuff, not dragging it out.
Our team knows how to work with little kids, big groups, and every kind of personality. And with in-house editing by Michelle Coombs Photography, your final gallery will feel clean, true-to-life, and timeless—not trendy.
What You Can Expect
Photos that look like you, delivered in a clean, private online gallery with all your final images included—no hidden fees, no hard upsells. And yes, you get a print credit too. We’re not here to nickel-and-dime you—we’re here to give you something you’ll actually want to hang on your wall.
Beach photos that feel like your family—not a performance.

As a Destin family photographer, I focus on more than just pretty backgrounds—I’m here for real connection, natural light, and the kind of photos that actually feel like your family. Whether you’re visiting Florida’s Emerald Coast or lucky enough to call it home, we take a laid-back approach that’s anything but generic.
You won’t find stiff poses or awkward instructions here. Just honest, story-driven photography that highlights who your people really are. We’re known for delivering full galleries with every session, in-house editing, and photographers trained to keep things relaxed but intentional. Whether you're wrangling toddlers, teens, or a big extended crew, we’ve got you covered.
Want to know what makes Destin so special? Start with Florida’s Emerald Coast tourism site and Henderson Beach State Park—then imagine your family captured in that light.
We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.
She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer.
