Panama City Editorial Photographer

It is the beginning of March and time for an installment of my favorite Panama City area photographs from the past couple months. After a quiet winter, tourists are finally starting to hit the beach again. The air is warming up, it is almost time to spring forward and I am hopeful about the year.

As a Panama City editorial photographer I long for those long days of summer. In order to take a photograph one needs some source of light. The longer the day the more chances there are to take photographs! Goodbye to those pitch-black at 5:00 winter days and hello to sunsets at 8:30 days. While we all await summer, enjoy a few of my favorite photos from January, February and March of 2016.

Panama City Beach Surf Report

Being landlocked in Tennessee my growing up years I always dreamed of surfing. It only took 11 years after I left Tennessee, but I finally moved to a place I could surf! The first thing I did (after getting married my beautiful bride at St. Andrews State Park) was buy a surfboard. After a couple years, I finally got to the point to where I could sit in the lineup with the surfers I aspired to be as good as. If you are coming to town and want to give surfing a try, check out the surf reports below and see if the waves will be good during your stay. If you would like some recommendations on where to get a board or surf, contact me and I would love to help you out. See you in the lineup!
