We booked a shoot because we wanted to make some memories. It went really well! She was engaging with our daughters and very personable. We also did a pregnancy announcement that she helped us with -Allison

We booked a shoot because we had a family beach trip! -Kalena

We loved our photos from Sara! She was great at communicating before the shoot.

The day of the shoot she texted and called to let me know that there was rain in the forecast for the time when we were supposed to do our photos and suggested moving our shoot up earlier - so thankful she was looking out for us and worked that out rather spur of the moment.

She was awesome to work with during the shoot (even with my husband who is not crazy about photos and my very active son) and she delivered some amazing photos, making some magic happen even on a grey day. Highly recommend! -Abigail

Absolutely amazing pictures. Sara was great at capturing our babies' attention to get some amazing photos.

Choose her, and you will not be disappointed! -Andrew

We had such a great experience using Local Lens and our photographer Sara was amazing!

The booking was easy and lots of communication via this site. She was flexible and watched the weather closely to make sure everything was perfect.

We did the 30 minute shoot and we are a family of 7. There were so many great shots and we got everything in with plenty of time.

Every single picture was breathtakingly beautiful and I loved them all. This made our vacation extra special! -Jennifer

Sara was AMAZING to work with! The babies loved her, and the photos are beautiful memories! -Amy

Sara was very responsive and easy to work with. She made our photo shoot run so smoothly even with the chaos of kids running around!

Our photos turned out amazing and we hope to use Sara again on our next vacation to Rosemary Beach! -Cynthia

Sara was super! She worked around our schedule and was very lively and professional. We had a bunch of toddlers, and she knew

exactly what to do to get the shots. We would definitely recommend her for family photoshoots! -Liz

We really enjoyed working with Sara! She was very friendly and worked so hard to make us feel comfortable and laugh and just have a good time! Highly recommend!!! -Katie

Sara was truly fantastic. These photos were booked months in advance, and in the meantime, my boyfriend turned into my fiancé.

She was willing to do a mixture of couples photos and engagement photos. She helped me choose outfits in colors that would photograph best on the beach and was incredibly responsive when I had questions or concerns.

Once we got here, we had to watch the weather due to Hurricane Idalia, and she even reached out to change the night of our shoot to avoid rain twice!

We ended up having a gorgeous day (with a rainbow and everything!!!), and our pictures came out stunning. She had our photos back to us even sooner than the timeline she gave us!!

She is fantastic, and we will treasure these photos forever. We highly highly recommend Sara! -Daniella

Seaside was the destination for celebrating 39 years of friendship.

We thought it could be fun to have professional photos taken (instead of asking strangers to take photos) and picked Sara as our photographer.

We had the best time on the photoshoot. Not only was Sara fun, but she also took us to many locations to give us a nice tour of the seaside.

We ended up with not only great photos but great memories. We can't thank Sara enough for being patient with us, for encouraging us, and for the photo results.

Sara is highly recommended! -Tamara

Sara was the best! She took our family sunset beach photos, and she was so engaged with all of us, making sure she got the BEST shots. She was fantastic and so patient with our little ones (ages 18 months through 7 years old), including our two-year-old, who wasn't having it! 🙂 She even waited when we were finished to make sure she didn't miss any last minutes of sunset. I HIGHLY recommend Sara - we all loved her, and the pictures she took are PERFECT! -Stewart Family

So worth it!! I didn’t know what to expect because I planned this so last minute and it seemed like everyone was either booked up or charging an arm and a leg!

But I found local lens and got matched with Sara and it was AMAZING! The process was super simple and Sara was a dream. She was so personable and friendly and kept us so relaxed the whole time.

It barely even felt like a photo shoot! And the pictures were STUNNING! She captured our little family effortlessly and beautifully.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this company and was lucky enough to have Sara capture such sweet moments. Definitely highly recommend and will use again in the future! -Amanda Zimmerman

Sara was amazing! She filled in at the last minute when our original photographer couldn't make it.

She was so friendly and patient with the little ones in our family. She captured amazing photos for our family to look back on for years to come! -Bri

Sara was our photographer this past week and we cannot give her enough praise! The entire process was seamless. Communication was prompt throughout the booking process and our shoot started exactly on time.

Our group was a large, multigenerational family and Sara managed us all beautifully - she engaged the little kids, kept the teens from feeling awkward and got spectacular shots that made us all look Hollywood-worthy.

Five Stars! -Cathy Markway

Sara is incredible! She made our 5 month old so instantly comfortable that she smiled in nearly every photo. She really captured the essence of our family in a quick, enjoyable 30 minutes. I'm so impressed and will definitely try to book Sara again when we're back in 30A! -Victoria

Sara did an amazing job capturing some awesome photos of our large family! This family vacation was one where for the first time in many years we all vacationed together so we wanted to capture some special memories.

My family lives in KY and I was very skeptical about booking a photographer for this very special occasion. Thankfully, Sara was absolutely amazing! While we definitely needed some new "family photos", she helped me to plan and to capture my daughter's surprise proposal as well.

You definitely will not be disappointed. We cant thank her enough for capturing our family so perfectly! -Samantha

My bridesmaids surprised me with a photoshoot in Panama City Beach during my bachelorette party. I was in shock and felt unprepared, but was excited to have the photos done.

She was amazing, I recommend her to anyone wanting to have a fun, laid back and professional photographer! -Lexy

We had a family beach session in Rosemary Beach. We surprised my parents with a vacation photoshoot! We worked with Sara and she could not have been more wonderful! Her energy was so great.

I knew from the moment I met Miranda that I would propose to her someday. We met in Denver, CO on her first assignment as a travel nurse and really the rest is history. Sara helped me make my vision a reality with a surprise proposal in Miranda's favorite place, Rosemary Beach. Everything couldn't have worked out better. We were able to get her to dress up nice and in the middle of the Rosemary green space. I read her a poem while Sara snuck in and started taking the most amazing pictures we could have ever hoped for. She captured the moment perfectly. Proposal. It went so well! Better than I could have imagined. -Tony

We booked a shoot to Celebrate our parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Sara was an absolute GEM. We were 6 adults and 2 young toddlers, and a bit nervous about doing our first family photo session -- especially with youngsters near bedtime and exhausted from a day at the beach. Sara was confident, organized and a star in directing us and the littles in an organic way that led to some incredible pictures. Her guidance was gentle and effective; she captured a group of awkward-in-photos folks in fabulous posed and candid shots and produced photos that make it seem as if our wild toddlers were cooperative and not at all overtired. We cannot thank her enough for an easy experience that exceeded all expectations! -Amanda

We wanted to extend family photos. We went on vacation with three generations, my parents, my brother and his family, and my family. In total, we had 13 people and everything went much better than expected! Sara was absolutely amazing and communicated with me from the very beginning until the end. Our photos were ready for viewing within 24 hours - an AMAZING timeline. Even better, we were all very happy with the photo results! The Local Lens process helped to connect us to Sara within a week of our vacation, and Sara was top-notch! I highly recommend using her as your family photographer. -Jara

My husband and I came to Panama City Beach for our honeymoon and wanted photos for keepsakes. The honeymoon photoshoot went wonderfully.

She had a clear plan of where she wanted to shoot (by dunes, by water without sunset behind us, and by water with the sunset behind us). She kept it light and fun. It was not stressful as a parent at all. I can’t say enough how happy we were with the whole shoot. -Ashley
