  • Emerson

    • He's here! I love photographing the belly, and then meeting the baby. Right at 2 weeks old, Emerson was a champion little model. As you all must have realized by now, newborn sessions are some of my very favorite, for the very simple reason, I get to hold a baby. They are so small, yet so perfect, so easy to please, content with affection. Somehow, they have the power to "stop the world", wash away the worries and stress, with their simple demand of love and gentleness. Bridget and Colby, [...]

  • Estelle

    • Little Miss Estelle is 2 years old! I started photographing her in her mommy's belly. I can't believe she's so grown up. A very busy little girl, so interested in life, there is no time to sit down, except maybe for a quick tea party. It was a pleasure to watch her in action, and a bit of a challenge to keep up with her. These images celebrate her gleeful personality, and her inquisitive mind. I hope to continue watching her grow into a beautiful girl. [...]

  • Noël en Provence, deuxième partie

    • The last part of our December trip to France. I'm probably reiterating, but having spend Christmas in France was so special to me, even more so since it was in Aix-en-Provence. It was my first Christmas back home since my engagement (Noël 1994!!!!) True to our wish to tour the surroundings, we visited Marseilles, the oldest city of France, founded in 600BC by Greeks. It is famous for it's "vieux port" (old port), still France's largest commercial port. The entrance of the port is flanked by [...]

  • Noël 2009 en Provence

    • Today, I'm able to share a few pictures from our past December trip to France. I had been hoping for a white Christmas, snow flakes even greeted us on our arrival. However, the thin white blanket melted within a day, and rain took over. Our first day, eager and ambitious to discover all of the South of France, Henry planed a spiritual excursion for us. Legend has it that Mary Magdalen (along with Lazarus and Martha) fled to the South of France (via Egypt) bearing "the earthen vessel that he [...]

  • Liz

    • Spring is here! Unlike everyone else I wasn't ready for "good weather". Our cool temperatures suited me just fine, it isn't that I dislike Spring, I actually LOVE it, it's just that I'm only too aware of it's shortness. It seems to be a quick introduction to a long hot summer... I'm so inspired by all the colors, the lovely blooms on pear trees, the few cherry blossoms... Driving around town, I see opportunities everywhere for nice pictures, I wish I had a group of teens, kids readily avail [...]

  • Heidi

    • She bears the name of one of my all time favorite novel character. She is sweet, sweet , sweet, full of delicious dimples, with perfect baby skin, beautiful red hair, gorgeous blue eyes... so adorable. I love all the uncensored expressions infants have, the emotions are so genuine, there is no self consciousness in the way. I really don't like waiting for the angry/crying face, but it's still one (I believe) that needs to be recorded. She's ready to go places, She's off... to t [...]

  • Mary Margaret

    • I've known Momo since she was 7 years old. She's now blossomed into a beautiful young lady, leading a very active live as a sophomore at Pensacola CHS.

  • Japanese Magnolia

    • Announcing the true start of spring with their early blooms, the Japanese Magnolias are giving Pensacola an enchanting feel. Their flowers are whimsical, delicate with a subtle fragrance, and while they grace our town with their beauty, I'm filled with wonder. I believe the Soulangeana (the botanical name) is my all time favorite tree. This year, as I was in my marveling state, I had an urge to use a branch for a picture. It became an obsession. I'll spare you the logistic details of gettin [...]

  • A little tribute to Olivia

    • I've mentioned lately a special visitor from France, and thought I would post a couple pictures from this past summer. It's been nearly 2 weeks since my niece returned to home, and we miss her! We were very fortunate she chose to spend her winter brake with us. To my children, she's a dream caring big sister, to me she was a valuable assistant and such wonderful company. She's left me dreaming and hoping my daughters will grow up to be as charming, lovely, responsible, and mature as she is. [...]

  • Collier

    • Probably my best newborn session to date, little Collier was a dream model, sleeping so well, I didn't want to stop photographing him. I'm restraining myself and posting here only a few of the poses we accomplished. I have a feeling this little guy will be getting plenty of attention, with already 2 older lovely sisters, and being the first grandchild on his father's side. The proud parents, I couldn't resist including this funny comic fro [...]

  • Bella

    • It's been 2 1/2 years now that I've been a client's of Lynda's. The faith of my hair color is in her magic hands. One day, I'll embrace the grey, but not just yet. My visits are frequent (stubborn whites oblige!), but it's always a pleasure to visit with Lynda. After 7 weeks in France, I'm always anxious to sit back in her chair. This past summer, I walked into the familiar saloon to see Lynda cradling a precious newborn girl. In the space of a few weeks, she and her husband, had been offe [...]
