Emerald Coast Photography, Niceville

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Emerald Caost Photography knows your time is valuable, and that capturing your memories on the beautiful Emerald is best done with a photographer that is also an artist. This combination makes more than a photo, but a balanced piece of art, where you and your family are the subject.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
As an artist living on the Emerald Coast since '75, I have enjoyed painting people in oil on the beach. I would photograph my subjects first and they always wanted the photographs. I have seen the beaches change over the years and capturing the beauty of the coast and visitors to it is a pleasure.

What do you love most about your job?
That every day is different (the beach, the surf, the people). Every family has some idea of a beautiful picture/s among the white sand and emerald surf. It is my job to make that happen.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
"I can't decide which ones to get, there are so may good ones!" Also, a little Photoshop (done well) goes a long way! Sometimes people want the surfer kept in the background of a shot, sometimes they don't. Most things are manipulatable for "a perfect" photo.
