Family portraits don't have to be exhausting.
You're on vacation. Let us handle the rest.
As Parents
We know how hard it can be to facilitate family portraits, not to mention on vacation. Don't worry... we use prompt based cues to initiate authentic giggles & smiles.
"Tickle mommy on the count of 3!"
As Locals
We know the in's and out's of the best beach locations, where to access the beach (even in the ridiculous Walton County Fair Use Act changes), and we are permitted in Walton & Okaloosa Counties.
As Photographers
We know allll the things from lighting, camera settings, shutter speed, and how to creatively utilize them to capture consistenly beautiful galleries, every time.
As People
We are friendly, efficient, and empathetic. We will do everything we can to make sure you have an incredible portrait experience from start to finish.
Our Clients Say
We booked a Mommy & Me session with Rachel the first year we visited Alys Beach. To say these pictures were priceless is an understatement. She captured pictures that I will treasure for the rest of my life. We have continued to book her every year we go back. She’s an incredible photographer and person. We can’t wait to get in front of her camera again.

About your 30A Family Photographers
Chris & Rachel Lauen
Hi! We are thrilled you have found us. We are natives to the area and also love our beautiful beaches. If you're on the fence about a portrait session...DO IT. You deserve some beautiful memories with your babies.
We are not volume photographers, meaning we only schedule one portrait session per day. This means regardless of the package you book, you'll have our full attention, flexibility for the weather, and a guarantee you'll receive a portrait gallery consistent with our style and quality.
We have a free guide that you'll receive with your booking paperwork that will give you clothing ideas, and all the tips and tricks to have the most stress-free and successful portrait session. And don't worry, we are with you every step of the way so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
Can't wait to meet you!
