I became a photographer to be able to create memories for others for years to come. My inspiration started by taking pictures for mothers at their children's birthday parties. Who has time to plan a party, entertain and take pictures?! After receiving my MBA, I decided I had enough experience and the perfect tools to start my own business. So in November 2011, I did just that!!
I am a very passionate person, who loves her clients! I am a 14 year experienced newborn photographer. Everyone ask me if I have kids of my own and I say I have a LOT of kids! All of my little clients are like my own!
I have had a studio in Athens, AL for 15 years. I couldn't have asked for better support from wonderful clients and my husband in helping me start my dream job! I opened a second location in Panama City Beach, FL in 2018. I was born in Fort Walton Beach and lived in PCB when I was very young. I have always dreamed of owning by own studio in Florida. I am super thankful I have been blessed to having a studio for the past 8 years!
I run my business the way I would want to be treated as a client! I care about each of my clients, I cater to your ideas so your photo session is your own. I give high quality digital images so you can print any size, beautiful, affordable images. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for a glimpse of our most recent photo sessions.
In 2021 I started my second business, Profitable Photographer. To pursue my passion for teaching and empowering others to start their own photography business. Over the years I have helped and educated many people with a passion for photography create a profitable business.

Audrey Duncan
Florida Photographer & Florida Wedding Assistant Photographer
I love creating things; I always have. I enjoy being outdoors in the beauty of creation. I also love to interact with people, seeing them smile and hearing their stories. Naturally, photography fits well with these! Since I was little, I have always loved cameras and would frequently borrow my mom's (I may or may not have broken it once, lol). Eventually, my love for photography led me to study at the Florida Institute of Sound Recording and Technology (F.I.R.S.T.), where I received a certificate of Digital Photography. Now, photography is no longer just a hobby for me, and I can't tell you how excited and blessed I feel to be able to say that! In my photography, I like to capture a variety of things, from portraits (Candid or posed), to birds and nature, to still life images. I also enjoy both taking photos outdoors with natural lighting as well as at the studio with strobes and soft boxes. Regardless of which genre of photography I am doing, or what environment I am in, you can be assured that I will always work my hardest to get you beautiful photos!
Here are few quick things about myself:
I have seven siblings (I am the 3rd oldest - five brothers and two sisters) and I love being around children! Dancing is something I find enjoyable; over the years I have studied styles such as ballet, jazz, contemporary, and ballroom. Pilates is one of my go to ways in which to stay fit. My personality is joyful, upbeat, and fun. Honesty, integrity, and compassion are extremely important me. I love listening to music including Jazz, Celtic, Big Band, Folk/Bluegrass and Contemporary Christian. Few things lift my spirit as much as being outdoors and I really enjoy watching beautiful sunset. I have an adorable pet cat named Hazel, who has been my sweet companion for 10 yrs now. Finally, and most importantly, I love Jesus and desire to honor Him in every area of my life, sharing the love and joy he gives me with everyone I meet!
