The Emerald Coast

There’s a not-so-secret spot that almost everyone in Nashville likes to visit in the summer…it’s the “Emerald Coast”.

When I first heard it was called this I was a little skeptical that it was a popular destination for people in Nashville, let alone the US.  It sounded like some enchanting place off the coast of the French Polynesian Islands.  But the Emerald Coast actually much MUCH closer than that!  It’s about a seven hour drive south from Nashville to a stretch of Florida called 30A.

My first chance to visit was several years ago on a long weekend.  It was too cold to swim in the ocean, but not too cold to sit on the beach and take in the beauty!  This stretch gets it’s name from the green blue water and the “sugar sand” beaches.  What the name doesn’t tell you is about the stunning sunsets.   Watching the sun set on the coastline is so serene and peaceful. Truly a beautiful way to end a day at the beach.

Having been here a few times now, I have a couple favorite spots and one of them is George’s.  George’s is an adorable little restaurant in the beach community called Alys Beach.  The menu centers around seafood, so if you enjoy good seafood add this to your list!  We then went for a stroll along what can only really be called a promenade.  It’s lined with towering palm trees that line the road and sidewalk.

After our little walk we headed to the beach to catch the sunset, which is maybe my favorite part of any trip to 30A.  Some beach communities present themselves as a little more relaxed than others, but the view from the beaches is equal in my opinion.  Which means, if you’re staying in Destin or Alys Beach, the view of the sunset is still going to be lovely.

This photo was taken on Damien’s first trip to Nashville. We went to find a waterfall that was two hours away and while there ran into a photographer. He offered to take some pictures of us, without knowing it was Damien’s birthday. He emailed them to us a day later. It’s still one of my favorite pictures. #happyvalentinesday @damien_keeter 💕

As a way to revisit all my photography from various travels, I’ve started writing stories to go with them, as well as enhancing the photos with graphic art. The stories re-envision the photograph as a passageway to another time or place.

I wrote a book! This is a novel that’s been on my mind for more than 10 years and this winter it finally became a reality. I’ve always loved writing but never thought writing a full length book was the plan, let alone something that could expand into more books! The plan is to explore this world of book publishing together as I figure out the best way to bring this story to life. I’m happy to finally be able to share it with you, even if it’s just the cover for now. It’s been a labor of joy and creativity and I hope you’ll join me as I discover this next “chapter”.
