Hey there!

I’m Surina, the girl snapping away behind the camera. Photography has not only been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, but a literal dream! I am one of those overly empathetic, sunset chasing, romance loving kind of humans. There is nothing more important to me than time. It is one of the only things we will never get back, but being able to freeze the little moments is always worth the investment.

I am blessed to be a mama to 2 sweet girls! Born and raised in Oklahoma, but born to be on the beach. I spent many summers in Destin growing up and knew my heart belonged to the emerald coast. Whether you want some classic wall framers, an intimate dip in the water, or even stray from the beach and find the beauty in our Florida greens - I am down for it all!

Meet My Florida Photography Team!

As much as I love Florida and have grown to call the Emerald Coast my home, we will be making our journey back home to Oklahoma in May of 2025. The great news is, I have an experienced team of local photographers that I will be collaborating with this year!

What does this mean?

Starting in May, one of these 3 amazing and talented ladies will be snapping away behind the camera! They will create all of those fun, authentic, memorable moments you won’t want to forget. I will continue to be the one booking, editing, and delivering all of your beautiful galleries! That means you will still get all that bright, vibrant, true to life feeling from every image delivered to you. I am so blessed to still be a part of your memory making experience!

This process and new collaboration will help me continue to live out my dreams and keep a little piece of the beach with me as I re-start my business back home. It also allows me to continue to support and care for my little girls as we transition into our new normal. We are so excited for what 2025 has in store and cannot wait to work with you! I am forever grateful for Macey, Destiny, and Sailor
