I love photography! It has always been a part of my life. I am constantly striving for new levels of greatness and expertise by attending workshops and seminars all over. I not only love photographing happy beach families but also the world we live in.
Daily I am amazed at the new ways I can use a camera to capture the feelings, and emotions during a photo session. I love being able to share my photography with others. It is truly a gift to work as a photographer and meet new and interesting people every day and be able to share my love of photography with them and document an important time in their lives. Words cannot express in words the joy I feel when a client “raves” over their finished portraits.
I am a Gulf Shores Alabama Photographer!
I am an all-American, all-boy Mom to three amazing sports-loving dudes. The wife to a very successful former college head football coach and now the head football coach to our very own Gulf Shores Dolphins. I pride myself in being on time, energetic, and always willing to go beyond duty to ensure we capture the beautiful candid moments of your family that will last a lifetime. 95% of my wardrobe is workout clothes and I’ve been known to have a coffee in hand at sunset.
My specialty is catching the candid moments outdoors that you will not only cherish forever but hopefully giggle when you remember how much fun we had catching them.
My goal in our session will always be for you to get the absolute best quality photos and have a blast while doing it.
Hi, I'm Tyla, photographer, mother of three and seeker of beautiful moments.
Meet your Photographers
We are so glad you are here!
Hello and thank you for stopping by to learn a little bit about US!
Hi, I'm Trey,
I have been a beach photographer for over 10 years now
We FEEL SO BLESSED TO LIVE ON THE GULF COAST AND WORK AS LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHERS. WE HAVE THE BEST OUTDOOR SCENERY TO USE AS OUR BACKGROUND. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER THAN WORKING BAREFOOT ON THE BEACH, GETTING TO MEET NEW FAMILIES EVERY DAY, AND DOCUMENTING THEIR BEACH VACATION AND SPECIAL MOMENTS.
Coming Soon
I'm a photographer, teacher at Gulf Shores Elementary school, yoga instructor and mom to energetic twins that are the loves of my life. Kids are my specialty so if you've got little ones, get ready because we're going to have some fun! I love living on the Gulf Coast and get so excited to meet families that are visiting where we call home to create lifelong memories. I am a self-proclaimed beach bum and enjoy every minute I get to spend with my feet in our gorgeous white sand. I can’t wait to meet you! Together we'll capture moments that you'll always cherish while having a blast doing it!

I am a technical person so I do my homework and find the best equipment for the job. One thing I have found is that good glass is always a solid bet. As a natural light photographer, I am not limited to a few backgrounds and there is no requirement to stand there in a group and look at the camera. I capture what arises in my photographic vision and what I feel is worth capturing in the moment. During your photo session we can run, jump, spin, twirl, and dance.

I am a bit of a technology nerd
I am in love with the beach and all aspects of living the beach life. Some of my favorite things to do is walk on the beach and go boating. When I go on vacation I go to other beaches and island destinations. I think it is just in my blood and am ready for the next adventure. I spend a lot of time photographing the outdoors. I have even won awards with my wildlife photos.

We love the beach!
Maybe a little too much
Although football has taken us to Mississippi, Louisiana (back to Mississippi) and, Tennessee, our journey started here in Alabama and we are so blessed to be back home and able to raise our boys on the coast.. In my spare time you’ll find me chasing boys or on a boat somewhere
-Tyla
my three boys, Captain Major, & Rocky are my world
My wife Cynthia and I are both photographers. Not only do we love photography we also both enjoy traveling to new places and visiting as may beaches as possible. So, if you need some vacation photos in Bora Bora, we are available. Our best model is our 14 year old daughter (future photographer - or - Cupcake Maker) Summer.

I love spending time with my family. There is just nothing better.
My Dad always told me that God will never give us two sunsets alike so you should chase every one of them because you’ll never see another one just like it.
-Tyla
Sunset are my favorite!
get booked now
The older generations gain their Angel wings and are lost to us except in our photographs and memories. Life changes every day. We all get older and our memory isn’t what it used to be.
We offer a professional and fun experience with beautiful finished products you will be proud to display for all the world to see. Hopefully one day the beach vacation photos from 202x will will turn out so amazing they will become treasured family heirlooms.
