I love photographing kids and capturing their different personalities. They have such innocence and energy, and each one is unique. I want their individuality to shine through in the photos that I take. One of the worst things a parent can do at a photo session is to coach your child to "smile and say [...]
Something that’s really important to us at Pure7 is giving back to those in need of a helping hand. We are passionate about helping those who are going through major hardships. Over the years, we have had opportunities to help these families by providing them with a free photo session. Sometimes, it’s a family who [...]
We recently wrote a post on the importance of having professional photos of your child taken once a year. Of course, we recognize that not every family is able to make that happen, but there are several important milestones that you really shouldn’t miss out on. Every child’s development is different, but this easy guide [...]
At Pure7, we strive to do most of the work with the camera. By that, I mean that we don’t believe in using photo editing software to drastically change the pictures that we take. We believe in capturing the real, natural beauty of the moment as it happens, not later in the studio. That being [...]

Their growth seems to slow down a bit after that first year, but your children will go through so many subtle changes that you [...]
A picture is worth a thousand words and brings back a million memories. For cancer patients and their families, capturing precious moments through family photographs is priceless. In 2015, we began collaborating with Waves of Grace, a 501c3 non-profit that sends cancer patients and their loved ones on all-expenses paid, respite beach vacations. They believe [...]
The family that laughs together, stays together! There was no shortage of laughter during this family photo session, and it was great hanging with the Low family while capturing treasured moments. The Emerald Coast area feels like home to Greg and Deborah Low, who have owned a house in Sandestin, Florida since 2004. They spend [...]
Gulf Coast views plus an awesome family equals one great photo shoot. This photo session in Grayton Beach State Park with the Studley family was a blast. The Studley family discovered the Destin area in July of 2016 when they came out to visit family and friends. Though they have always enjoyed Florida, they had never been to the Emerald Coast. [...]
