Raymond did our photos. He was excellent with our 3 small babies! He is patient & kind, and did a fantastic job! -Delyn

Raymond did a great job! We have 2 small children and he knew exactly what to do. Our daughter was shy of the camera but in no time he had her smiling, dancing, and having fun! The pictures turned out amazing too.

Do yourself a favor and book Raymond if you can! -Allison

We are so very pleased with Raymond and how the photos turned out. He picked the perfect location, was easy to work with, and got the photos to us sooner than expected! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime! Thank you, Raymond! -Desiree

Raymond did a great job. I am so glad that he worked with our family. Would highly recommend! -Cathie

We booked a shoot because we have a birthday party. So easy and fun. -Hayden

I highly recommended Raymond for pictures! He was super nice and professional and my kids loved him! We had a crappy week for weather, but he was very flexible in changing days when it was iffy out. Prices here are very reasonable and very responsive to messages. We also received our gallery sooner than expected! -Kristen

We had a Family photoshoot in Watercolor because we were all together in the same place and wanted to document it! Raymond was amazing! He was very professional, provided creative direction but also made sure to ask what we wanted. -Kayley

We had a Family photoshoot at Inlet Beach with Raymond. All was great! -Constance

Our family of 22 came to Florida for a family vacation. While we were all together we wanted to get family photos. We enjoyed working with Ray from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with and was willing to spend time getting the pictures that we wanted. Overall it was a good experience. -Carolyn

My family traveled for our first vacation as a family of 3 - We have a 2 year old daughter and I am 7 months pregnant. We just wanted something simple and beautiful and that is exactly what we got! Our photographer was amazing and very easy to work with. He was very understanding of our situation (hot pregnant woman and a sick toddler). He captured exactly what we were hoping for! -Jennifer

Had a shoot with Raymond in Grayton Beach! I was looking to capture our family on the beach during sunset in order to capture this period of time in life. From ensuring we were prepared with where to go and what to wear based on the weather, to meeting, to taking pictures and ending the session. Everything was conformable, informative and a joy to work with. He made it easy with 2 boys (4yr & 2yr) and a hubby. -Jen

Raymond was amazing! A hurricane was arriving the day of our scheduled shoot. He was very flexible and changed the day and location so we could have our shoot early before the island was evacuated. Even with the clouds and rain, he was able to take the most beautiful photographs!! -Kristen

We met at Grayson State Park. It was a beautiful setting for pictures. Raymond was awesome and put us all at ease, very easy to talk to. He took amazing pictures and it was hard to decide on a few so we ended up buying them all :). I would highly recommend Raymond! -Jessica

Everything went well, our photographer was great, and would definitely recommend Raymond! He was very patient with our goofy & energetic 4-year-old. He had great recommendations on different backgrounds for our beautiful photos! -Amanda

Family vacation memories. Coordinating everyone's schedules to go on a family vacation isn't always the easiest but it's always a great time when we can all get together so we wanted to have some photos to remember our trip. Our photographer, Raymond, was amazing. We'd never been to 30A before so he recommended a shoot location that ended up being perfect. The weather in Florida in March is hit or miss so he was willing to work with us while we were there to find the perfect day for pictures. Taking pictures was easy and fun, everybody was laughing and Raymond did a really great job of giving direction while capturing natural moments. Would definitely recommend and will be doing it again on future vacations! -Raymond

We booked a shoot because of our 10-month-old's first beach trip! The photoshoot went great! Ray was super easy and enjoyable to work with and the pictures turned out amazing! -Lydia

We booked a shoot because we take an annual family beach picture. The photographer was absolutely amazing! He knew what he was doing and could not have been any nicer. Will absolutely be using him in the future again! -Blakely

We booked a shoot to capture our time while visiting the beautiful Emerald Coast. We didn’t have any professional pictures of all of us and we wanted to get them while in a beautiful setting. Our photographer Raymond was absolutely the best! -Cassie

We booked a shoot for our 25th anniversary. Ray and Britney were excellent, and the photos turned out exactly as we had hoped. Ray's style is perfect, and he made us feel very comfortable. He knew great locations and worked with us to get the best shots. Britney has a great eye and was fantastic at everything from moving hair out of my face to helping us get hand placement right. Great experience, and beautiful photos! -Amanda

We book a shot for a newborn family trip. We just had a baby a month and wanted photos as a new family of four. Raymond was fantastic, being available for changes and playing along with a new shoot location idea. He was great with our toddler too! -Lisa

We booked a shot for family pictures. Ray was awesome to work with, I'd highly recommend him. I have four children ages 2-9. He was an absolute master with our children, especially our toddlers. He also was very intentional with the time management of our shoot and got so much more than I was expecting. He's great, we'd hire him again 100%. -Keri

We booked a shoot because we have new grandchildren. We had a family beach vacation and wanted family photos. Raymond made it so easy! Raymond reached out immediately and inquired as to what we had in mind and find out where we were staying. We have vacationed along 30A for years. I have to admit that I had ideas and location in mind but was open to suggestions and am I so thankful that I kept an open mind. We have 3 grandchildren under the age of 2 1/2 and I was at the point of some photos are better than no photos. Raymond knew exactly when to step in and offer suggestions. Raymond suggested a different time of day and location along the beach due to sunlight than what we had originally requested. I am so thankful I kept an open mind because our photos turned out amazing!!! Raymond offered to play our granddaughters' favorite music on his phone. Raymond even sang along to Baby Shark along the beach to get the girls to look his way. I would highly suggest Raymond keep an open mind! He knows what he is doing! -Amy

We booked a shoot because we wanted some engagement photos. While on vacation in Rosemary Beach, we took our engagement photos with Raymond at Local Lens. We absolutely loved working with him and the photos turned out amazing. The beach was packed during sunset and Raymond still managed to navigate it and get the best shots with no one in the background- you would never know. He was a professional in his field, was very engaging and fun, and was instantly able to make us feel comfortable. We have so many great photos that we will cherish forever. -Alexis

We tried to take our own photos last year, but it just wasn't the same as having a legit, pro photographer. We booked the shoot about 3 months in advance of our trip. It went beautifully. Raymond Kelly -- our photographer -- was very responsive and professional and had all the answers to our questions. -Brodie

To capture my kids who are growing up way too fast! Ray did an excellent job communicating with me ahead of our photo session. He gave me some nice options to pick from for the location. On the day of the session, Ray communicated well with us. He was professional, laid back, personable, and kind. He knew our names before we met and was great to use our names throughout the session. I would recommend Ray for your next beach family photo session! He captured my family at this stage of life perfectly! -Kenna

All of our family was together and it was a great location. We initially got rained out but Raymond was awesome and was able to reschedule so we didn't miss out on these great family photos! We have a big, blended family and he handled it like a pro! We have beautiful memories to cherish forever. -Marcy

We booked a shoot for our maternity photos. The shoot was great. Raymond recommended a sunrise shoot, which ended up being perfect. There was no one else on the beach and the weather was beautiful - not to mention the sunrise. Raymond was easy to work with and the photos turned out great. -Courtney

We book a shoot because we have not had family photos taken in 5 years. Raymond made it fun for my girls and I liked how we did another location besides the beach. He even let the girls take pictures with his camera. -Lisa
