Hello there! My name is Mayeska, and capturing life's most cherished moments through the lens is my passion. For the past eight years, I've had the joy of working with an array of wonderful people—from families and couples to corporate professionals and event organizers. Whether it's a wedding, a lifestyle shoot, or a branding project, I bring my heart and soul to every photograph.

Having lived in Destin for the last 15 years, I've developed a deep love for the great outdoors. My adventures—whether hiking through lush trails, chasing the perfect sunset, or losing myself in the rhythm of good music—constantly fuel my creativity and appreciation for the world around me.

With a degree in communications focusing on PR and a minor in marketing, I believe my educational background has enriched my photography skills. It’s not just about taking great pictures; it's about connecting with you and telling your unique story. Clients often tell me that my warm and welcoming nature makes them feel at ease, and I take great pride in creating a comfortable atmosphere during our sessions.

I've been fortunate enough to see my work featured in Forbes and four local magazine publications, and I am deeply grateful for these opportunities. Thank you for considering me to capture your special moments. I look forward to working with you and bringing your story to life through my lens!

From passion to profession.

From the moment I could dream, I envisioned myself traveling the world, capturing memories that would last a lifetime. My journey into photography began serendipitously when I stumbled upon an old camera at home. What started as a curious experiment soon turned into a passion as I began documenting every adventure with my friends, capturing the raw, unfiltered moments of our youth.

As high school graduation loomed, my hobby took an unexpected turn. The mothers of my friends began reaching out, eager to hire me to take their daughters' senior photos. This was a dream come true, a validation of my growing passion. I continued to indulge in photography for fun, dedicating countless hours to teaching myself the intricacies of the craft.

Today, I emphasize creating genuine connections with my clients. On the day of the session, I want to hear your stories—why you’re vacationing here, your love stories, and your greatest adventures. My goal is to make everyone feel as comfortable and confident as possible, turning each shoot into a personalized experience.

My passion for photography has also allowed me to connect with local community business owners. I find immense joy in bringing brand ideas to life, capturing the essence and unique spirit of each business.

Whether it's a heartfelt family portrait, a love story, or a business brand, my mission is to tell your story through the lens, preserving those precious moments for you to cherish forever.
