A Mom’s Guide to Gulf Coast Photographers
Let’s face it: Our littles (or bigs) are only that way for a very short amount of time. What better way to freeze time than by booking a photo session with some of the Coast’s BEST photographers?! Here at The Gulf Coast Mom, we’ve curated the guide below to save you time on the search ⬇️
Annie Cooper Photography
My family and I moved to the coast from Miami a year ago and I have loved getting to know all your beautiful families through photography! Capturing the sweet, candid, REAL moments that make up your day to day with your babies is the biggest blessing and I am so grateful for the support of my new community here in Mississippi!
Paige Geter Photography
I was born and raised in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. My first camera was a 35mm Canon that belonged to my dad (that I conveniently lost at Six Flags) and from there the passion grew into a Kodak EasyShare. Don’t worry, I’ve upgraded since then! ;)
I spent 11 lovely years shooting the weddings of couples in love. It taught me important things. I am grateful for those years, those people, and the satisfaction that the work brought to me by how it expanded my life into other people’s stories.
However, after a hiatus, I decided to take a risk and pivot my career to focus on family photography. It’s the fleeting moments of childhood, the milestones of parenthood, and the bonds that hold families together that I love.
My personal work fuels me more than anything… meditating on my own family, this massive gift, through my camera lens; capturing our ordinary moments and our passing days.
Hannah Stewart Photography
From the moment you see two pink lines, and can't hold in the secret of expectancy any longer, Hannah Stewart Photography is ready to document each sweet memory for your family. Every season brings a new milestone and first wobbly step, but each one can be celebrated with the lasting, tangible memory of a beautifully curated gallery. Whether you're starting a new family and getting settled in for the first few days at home, adding one more candle to the cake for a milestone birthday, or watching your youngest move the tassel at graduation, HSP would be honored to celebrate with you. As a new mom herself, Hannah is thrilled to be shifting her focus to serving and documenting families! When you book a session with Hannah, you are booking with confidence in Hannah's 10+ years of experience. You are booking with ease, knowing Hannah has the details covered. You are booking with trust that Hannah will document your life's sweetest moments for you.

Little Sunshine Photography by Britneye
Think of me as your fairy godmother. You juggle all of the balls daily. I invite you to relax and enjoy documenting your season of motherhood while I tackle the tasks instead. I am a motherhood photographer serving the MS Gulf Coast since 2015 by helping you document maternity, newborn, baby, and family portraits. My goal is that when you look back at your printed artwork, you will remember the fleeting details of the season rather than the preparation - the way they fit so perfectly in your arms, the sound of their sweet laughter, and their squishy rolls and tiny toes. I'm passionate about helping you see how beautiful your work as a momma truly is. My mission is to help you effortlessly create something to hold on to for long after your babies are too big to be held. Your session with me includes a full service treatment with professional hair and makeup, styling your family from my curated studio wardrobe, a relaxed session, and a gallery reveal to help you create tangible memories with printed artwork. I invite you to show up in your messy bun ready to be pampered while I take care of the rest.
Holden Still Photography
Recently voted Best Coast Photographer in the WXXV 2023 Viewer's Choice awards, make Holden Still Photography THE choice for you.
As a busy paramedic and new mom of our first son Holden, I was afraid of missing out on his milestones and memories. In capturing his growth, I discovered a passion behind the lens, helping others to document their precious moments too. From there Holden Still Photography was born and has grown just as our family has with the birth of our second son, Callan. I cover all of your family's special moments from wedding, maternity, lifestyle newborn, family sessions and more. Let's talk today about what special moment Holden Still Photography can capture for YOU!

Photography has always been a passion of mine, so being able to make a career out of something I enjoy has been such a blessing. Photographing growing families from the gulf coast and surrounding areas. My top priority is making sure clients have a relaxed and comfortable experience before, during, and after their session. Documenting the bump, baby, and milestones is very important and I always strive to provide top service for all sessions. I love customizing every session to fit the family who chooses me to help document their growing family. It’s an honor to serve and meet so many beautiful families and provide them with portraits they will cherish for years to come!
