Nina has been part of the Shore Shooters team for about 4 years, spending many evenings on the beach capturing memories for other families.

This time, it was her turn to step in front of the camera with hers.

If you've had a session with Nina over the years, we'd love to hear your favorite memory with her in the comments below.

Meet Sarah and Dave, vacationers turned future Gulf Shores locals 🌊🐚 After almost 10 years of memories at Blue Lagoon, they're officially building a home here and starting their next chapter on the coast.

"Dave went on a fishing trip and met the owner of the lodge and he had just built a house on Fort Morgan and told him about the beautiful beaches and the great weather and how great the people were here. So we booked a long weekend and stayed at the Sanibel to check it out-what the heck it was early November and the weather was still like summer!"

"It seemed like everywhere you went people knew of Blue Lagoon drive so you instantly felt welcome in your home away from home. Also when you walked on the beach either in the morning to find washed up treasures or at night catching ghost crabs with flashlights it always felt like our beach."

"Originally our house was the Model house for the neighborhood. While we were at the Sanibel we booked an early morning fishing trip, dropped our catch off at Mike's and headed back to the Sanibel, only Dave drove passed it and we turned into Blue Lagoon drive and the house had a for sale sign in the yard -why not call the number and just look! Gulf Shores was already growing on us. The gal that owned the property was terrific and we have remained friends, but Dave contacted her after we got home and they struck a deal but she needed it closed on before the end of the tax year, by golly we made that happen.”

"It seemed like we spent more time taking care of the property to keep it in good shape than we ever did just relaxing and enjoying so we decided that Retirement Plan needed to kick in. We have a new build in mind to enjoy and are looking forward to having our friends and family come to enjoy Gulf Shores."

Thank you Sarah and Dave for letting us share a bit of your story. We are excited for your next chapter as locals. 🫶
