At Pure7 Studios, we work with both local families and vacationers along Florida’s 30A coast, whether you're visiting Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, or WaterColor. These sessions are perfect for parents, grandparents, and kids of all ages looking to preserve meaningful memories in a natural setting. Our style is a blend of guided posing and genuine interaction, so everyone feels relaxed and authentic in front of the camera. You’ll receive a combination of digital image galleries, heirloom-quality prints, and custom wall art designed to tell your family’s story for years to come.
Celebrate your senior year with natural, personality-filled portraits.
Senior portraits mark the transition from high school to adulthood, celebrating who you are at this once-in-a-lifetime milestone. We photograph high school seniors from around the country, especially those visiting or living in 30A and Destin. Sessions take place in iconic local settings like beaches, wooded paths, or modern architectural spots to suit your personality and vision. Our relaxed, personalized approach helps seniors feel confident and express their true selves in front of the camera. Each session includes wardrobe guidance and professional posing support, resulting in a gallery of personalized senior photos perfect for graduation announcements, gifts, and long-term keepsakes.
Elegant, story-driven wedding coverage from ceremony to celebration.
Wedding photography documents your entire celebration, from emotional moments during the ceremony to candid laughter at the reception and every beautiful detail in between. We serve couples marrying along 30A, including Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and WaterSound, offering full coverage of weddings, elopements, and destination celebrations. Our signature style blends elegant, photojournalistic storytelling with intentional portraiture that captures both the grandeur and intimacy of your day. Deliverables include engagement sessions, full-resolution digital galleries, custom albums, and optional printed heirlooms, designed to preserve your wedding day moments for generations.
Professional headshots and brand imagery that build trust and impact.
Headshots and branding photography provide visual content that communicates professionalism, trust, and personality. We offer this service to professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who want to build a strong presence on LinkedIn, business websites, or social media. We shoot in-studio or on-location across 30A and Destin, including options like beach backdrops, office settings, or natural light spaces that align with your brand. Sessions include expert posing direction, wardrobe guidance, and optional hair and makeup. Final deliverables include high-resolution business portraits and personal brand imagery optimized for digital and print use.

We photograph couples across Florida’s scenic 30A, including Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, WaterColor, and Grayton Beach.
