For Families Who Want Photos That Feel Real...

REAL FAMILY MOMENTS
OVER PERFECT POSING

VIEW THE EXPERIENCE

You don’t need perfectly behaved kids or experience in front of the camera to create beautiful family photos.

My sessions are designed to feel playful, relaxed, and connected —
using movement, gentle prompts, and natural interaction instead of stiff posing.

That means less pressure, more laughter, and images that genuinely feel like your family.

Whether you're planning family photos on vacation or capturing a new season at home, I guide you every step of the way so it feels relaxed—not stressful.

more about me

Hi, I’m Whitney—your local Destin and Fort Walton Beach family photographer with a heart for real connection and storytelling. As a military spouse, mom, and creative, I specialize in capturing the messy, beautiful, joy-filled moments that make your story yours.

Based on the Emerald Coast, I offer natural light photography for couples, families, and small businesses who want relaxed, candid images with emotional depth. Whether we’re chasing light on the beach or cozying up for an in-home newborn session, I’m here to make it feel easy and meaningful.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me exploring new places, soaking in sunsets, or sipping coffee with my favorite people. I’d love to help you document this season—just as it is.

the mastriano family

"We have used Whitney for family photos three times; maternity, newborn and a family session. Quality of service goes well beyond your investment. My daughter still asks to go take more pictures with Ms. Whitney. Her photography style is beautiful. I cannot recommend Eye Level Lens enough!"

love notes

The Williams family

"Whitney was phenomenal. She is clearly experienced with working with younger kids. We were concerned on having a 3yo and 5yo for a family maternity photo shoot. She brought props and snacks. The location and shots were perfect!" 

love notes

the barton family

"She is professional, listens well to our vision, well communicated and delivered beautiful photographs! From the time we stepped foot into her studio, she had everything prepared, even nursing supplies for a newborn mom like me. We ended up purchasing the entire gallery, because we love them so much!"

love notes

The mitchell family

"Greatest ever! The initial reason I chose Whitney was based off of seeing her work with varying skin tones. Turn around time with getting pictures was excellent as well. 12/10 would recommend!"
