Welcome to My World Behind the Lens

Hi there! I'm Royce—a proud native of Apalachicola, Florida, where the charm of the coast meets a lifelong passion for the arts. While many call me a photographer, I see myself as an artist. My creativity is fueled not just by photography, but also by my deep love for theatre, film, and storytelling in all its forms.

From the moment I pick up the camera, I'm not just taking pictures—I'm capturing emotion, movement, and moments that tell a story. I strive to create images that feel timeless and genuine, the kind you’ll want to hang over your fireplace and treasure for generations. Knowing my work lives in the homes of so many wonderful families brings me more joy than I can express.

My journey with cameras started young—shooting homemade movies with my dad’s old camcorder, dreaming up stories, and chasing the perfect shot. That same curiosity and passion still guide me today.

I specialize in natural, heartfelt beach portraits for families visiting St. George Island, Cape San Blas, and surrounding areas. My editing style stays true to what your eyes see—crisp, clean, and never overly saturated. I believe the beauty of the coast speaks for itself.

Beyond portraits, I’ve been honored to work on weddings, commercial photography projects, and tourism campaigns—including projects for our local Tourist Development Council, where I have had the privilege of winning several awards alongside the TDC marketing team.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me running Forgotten Coast TV (available on Mediacom Channel 12, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV) or leading ghost-hunting adventures in downtown Apalachicola with my wife, Jeana, on our Apalach Ghost Tour. Curious? Visit ApalachGhostTour.com. I have also written two books and compiled a book of old photos from Apalachicola, which can be picked up at Downtown Books in Apalachicola or here on Amazon.

Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to hear from you—and help capture the memories from your next beach getaway.
