Best family photographer on 30A. Serving Panama City, Destin, Miramar Beach, and surrounding areas. Hi, I am Alina. I have created Authentic You Photography to help you to capture the essence of your family, your true personality, your inner child, and all the love that you carry in your heart, and to keep these memories for a lifetime! Our kids grow so fast, our parents don't last forever, and we change every moment, without realizing this. Through family photography, we can relive the moments that we treasure so much. The photographs of our babies will bring back memories of when they were young and so innocent. The pictures of our parents and grandparents we will treasure forever. Our children's birthday parties, weddings of our cousins, or just a party for a group of friends–these are the moments that we remember, these are the moments that life is about. Also, in today's world, social media is so prevalent, that we all need pictures to show the world our true selves. BeYOUnique, be unapologetically and authentically yourself and let the future generation be proud! Submit an inquiry to get started today!

My Destin, FL Photography Reviews

Alina was wonderful! I would not hesitate to book her again if we're visiting 30A. -Jocelyn

Alina was fantastic! We had 30 minutes and she captured so many beautiful photos of our family in that time. We are very grateful to her for the lasting memories we will have looking at these photos.
I would highly recommend Alina for group family photos as well as couple photo shoots. -Shannon

We had such an incredible experience with Alina!! We had a 3-month-old, an 18-month-old, a 2-year-old, 4 year olds, and a 6-year-old with the rest of the family, so she had her hands full, keeping everyone engaged, and she did amazing!!!
Everyone had a great time, and the pictures are heart-melting! I would choose Alina again in a heartbeat when we choose to update our family photos as the kids grow. Thank you from every member of our family, Alina!!! -Krista

Alina is an amazing photographer!! Would recommend her to anyone and would book with her again for more pictures! -Alexis

Alina was great! I appreciated the efficiency and ease Local Lens provided. Alina then confirmed and communicated with me directly via text (which I prefer) the week of our shoot and once we had arrived in 30A. She gave all the information we would possibly need. The day of, was extra windy, and she told us all of the things we should do, bring, be prepared for. She was friendly, efficient, and gave clear directions. It was great for a family with young kids who aren't great at following directions! I recommend Alina! -Caroline

Alina was so wonderful to work with! Her communication was amazing days prior to our photos. She was kind and easy to work with. She captured our sweet family on a memorable vacation. Would absolutely recommend booking her. -Amanda

Alina was fantastic! She was professional yet personable. She helped us with posing, which is what our large family struggles with. She utilized every minute of our session, and we definitely appreciated her expertise! We would definitely hire her again. She exceeded our expectations!!! -Farris Family

We absolutely adored Alina! From a creative and technical standpoint, she captured so many fantastic moments of our crew while managing the quickly changing sunset, distractions, and our slew of personalities. I arrived with half our group less than thrilled about taking time out of our vacation to do a photoshoot, and we left with all smiles and a new friend in Alina. Fast forward to when the gallery arrived, and every single one of us is completely in awe and over the moon with the results. Book Alina! She is creative, kind, quick, professional, and beyond talented. You will not regret your session with her. -Tara Beasley & Crew

Alina was fantastic! Very communicative prior to the shoot, sending very detailed instructions re: location and timing so we could prepare in advance. She even gave us some pro tips to help us maximize our shoot. Alina was very patient with our large family, especially the little ones, and helped us look and feel our best. I know she does this for hundreds of families, but she made us feel like VIPs during the time she spent with us. Highly recommend and we can't thank Alina enough for capturing these special moments! -Lauren

Alina was incredible! From initial contact to the end of the shoot - she was easy to speak with and very knowledgeable. She made the entire process seamless. I definitely recommend her; especially if you have little ones! -Emma

Alina was very professional, she was early/on time, she communicated clearly and provided ideas. The photos were beautiful. We were extremely happy with her work. -Susan
