Celebrating strength, love, and a little red, white, and you.

This Fourth of July weekend felt like the perfect time to capture a couple who show up for each other the same way they show up for themselves—strong, committed, and all in. There is something powerful about building a life (and a body) side by side, and these two made it look effortless.

Also, consider this your gentle reminder: your story deserves more than a spot on your phone. Print it. Frame it. Live with it.

New issue is out!
Gulf Coast Kid's House

Nc100BW, Inc. - Pensacola Chapter

Pensacola Little Theatre

A hidden tiki bar. A hat company that started with a conversation in a parking lot. A woman celebrating 100 years. And that's just for starters.

The June issue leans into everything we love about life along the Gulf Coast: the people, the personality and the stories that make this place feel like home.

I'm honestly a little overwhelmed right now. Because of YOU, I'm in the top 10 for Best Photographer in Pensacola.

When I started Short Story Studios, my dream was simple: to help you see yourself the way I see you—confident, beautiful, and worthy of being celebrated. Whether I'm capturing your brand story so you can step boldly into your business, preserving your family's milestones and the chaos and joy that comes with them, or creating empowering bo***ir images that remind you of your own strength... every single session is personal to me.
✨This isn't just an honor—it's proof that when you trust someone with your most vulnerable, important, and joyful moments, it creates something bigger than an image. It creates a connection- a story.

If you're willing to keep supporting me, you can vote daily through May 24th, 2026:

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Not just for the votes, but for inviting me into your lives, your businesses, and your stories. You've made this dream real. ❤️

The New issue is Out!

Sue Straughn is on the cover.

And if you know Pensacola, you know who this amazing woman is - and why she is absolutely deserving to be the subject of our cover story.

Decades of showing up, telling the stories that matter, and quietly shining a light on the good in this community - and you’ll feel that same thread throughout this issue.

From a 45-minute reading session that changes a child’s path to the woman opening a brand-new high school, it stays grounded in what’s happening here — alongside conversations around mental health, and the style, places and people that fill in everything else.

Pick up the May issue of Bella around Escambia and Santa Rosa counties (locations in comments) or read it online at www.bellamagazine.com
