Professional Photography Service

30A • Santa Rosa Beach • Miramar Beach • Destin


Hi Emerald Coast Families. I’m Matthew (MJ), a Florida native and second-generation professional photographer with over 25 years of experience capturing life on the coast. For me, photography isn't just a career. It's a way of life, a creative vice, and the perfect excuse to catch a coastal sunset with beautiful people.


As a local photographer here in Santa Rosa Beach, I specialize in creating natural, true-to-life family portraits that celebrate your moments along 30A and the Emerald Coast. 

Whether you are gathering near the scenic dunes of Grayton Beach State Park or enjoying a weekend getaway in Miramar Beach,

I am committed to providing an exceptional,

stress-free experience that results in

timeless images your family will love for generations.


I love capturing genuine, candid moments in natural light while offering helpful posing tips to keep you looking natural & coastal.



“Ditch the pose, enjoy the moment"

-Matthew Johnson, MJ Photograph

If you want a photographer who makes you feel at ease and delivers perfection, Matt is the one! He has an incredible eye for detail (hair, posing, jewelry, you name it, he is on it!), he was so easy to work with, is a natural with kids, he came prepared for our dog we didn’t tell him about, and honestly just delivered my dream beach photos! I cannot thank him enough! I highly recommend him!!
