Born and raised a little salty.
Florida girl, grom mom, freediver and the photographer who’ll happily wade in with you.
Hi, I’m Robin. Nice to meet you.
I’m a born and raised Florida girl who married my high school sweetheart. We grew up bouncing back and forth between the Keys and the Bahamas, lobster diving, spearfishing and pretty much living on the water. Honestly, not much has changed.
My husband and I have adventure souls. We travel, he’s a pilot so we fly, he surfs, we freedive, and yes, we’ve jumped out of a plane. Our weekends are for the boat and our boys.
The Hawaii years
We lived in Hawaii for about five years, and that’s where photography really grabbed me. I learned under one of the highest rated wedding photographers on the islands and worked four photography jobs at once. I was also nominated for the XXL Big Wave Awards in LA. It taught me everything about light, timing and staying calm when the ocean isn’t.
Sand & Sea Studios
When we moved home to South Florida, I started Sand & Sea Studios and went all in on weddings. For years I photographed couples from Stuart all the way down to the Florida Keys, and I’m so proud of what that business became. Along the way we bought a home in Stuart, the town we grew up in, and welcomed two amazing boys. Just call me a grom mom.
Turning the page
Stepping away from weddings is a very bittersweet page to turn, but I’m chasing my passion. I want my weekends on the water with my family, and my heart has always been in the moments: kids running for the waves, families being themselves, a little creativity, and as much ocean as I can fit in the frame. That’s what Sand & Sea Sessions is all about.
After about four years of back-to-back postpartum, I’m finally getting my groove back and feeling insanely creative. There are a lot of projects brewing, and I can’t wait to share them soon.
Where my inspiration draws from.
Salt water, boats and my favorite people. This is the life that shapes how I see light, color and connection. These are my own photos from outside of sessions: what I love to photograph, and who I am.

Another fun venture
Meet Sunday Swell.
My friends joke that I always have a new business idea brewing, and honestly, they’re not wrong. The latest one is Sunday Swell Supply Co., a lifestyle and clothing brand for groms and the ones who raise them. Same salty spirit, just something you can wear. I don’t think I’ll ever stop creating.
Thank you, wedding couples.
If you found me through a wedding, welcome back. I’m no longer booking weddings, but everything I learned at them, from light to timing to the art of a good candid, comes with me to every family session.
Married now with a growing crew? I’d love to photograph that.
