When Dacie’s mom reached out to me about capturing some portraits for Dacie’s Miss Fletcher program, I was so excited!

Dacie’s mom and I attended and graduated from Duncan U. Fletcher High School in Neptune Beach, Florida. We also were contestants in Fletcher’s Miss Fletcher Pageant during our Junior year back in the year 2000! I don’t know if I should admit how long ago that was lol

Now that we’re getting older, I’ve been honored to capture family photos for friends I grew up with. It’s been even more special to capture them in our sweet, little home town.

It’s neat to see how much the Beaches Town Center has grown over the years. While I miss some favorites like Papa Joe’s and Sun Dog, it still has the same feeling of what it once was in my youth. This little corner really has so much to offer for portrait sessions. I always schedule sessions here at sunrise, before all of the hustle and bustle around the Beaches Town Center restaurants and shops.

Here are some of my favorites from Dacie’s Atlantic Beach, Florida portrait session!
