  • Bridget and Colby

    • A very happy couple expecting their first baby on April 1st. Their pregnancy came as a surprise. Bridget's Dr. didn't think she could conceive, but yet a little miracle is about to happen. Along with the discovery of this very special arrival, more exciting news came in, Colby was accepted in medical school! I see a bright future for this young couple, a very happy couple indeed. I can't wait to meet and photograph little Emerson, and wish you the best of luck in your carriers. [...]

  • Dixie

    • I am so thankful, and it never hurts to acknowledge it, we have been extremely fortunate over the years with wonderful baby sitters. Tayler is one of our very favorites, and today's doggie is her baby. Dixie is 2 years old, a beautiful mix between a Lab and a Rottweiler. She has gorgeous blue eyes, a luscious shiny brown coat, with the most playful personality. Coco was very happy with her play date. Tomorrow, I plan on sharing a beautiful mom to be. With my adorable assistant, my lovely n [...]

  • Quinton

    • Bashfully, I'm posting after a solid 2 months of blog abstinence. I don't even have a good reason for such a long absence, just "a series of unfortunate events", nothing worth going into details. I am very thankful for the emails from faithful blog reader asking when I would post back some pictures. I'll try to be more persistent, I'm certainly not in lack of images to share at this point, and have some from our trip to France this past Christmas. Since our return I have been very busy setti [...]

  • An other.... beautiful family...

    • We are now in France. Paris was all white, and when we drove home from the Marseille airport, snow was falling steadily. We woke up to a delightful scenery, overnight enough snow had collected to make a thin white blanket everywhere around us. My parents' house is mildly decorated by american standards, but is still in a very festive mood with the huge family gathering we are having. It's warm inside by the fireplace (the real thing, wood burning giving a true winter smell and feel). It's . [...]

  • Charlotte

    • Just a 24 more hours until we board on our plane, still no suitcases packed, but here I am in front of my computer... it's addicting, I love what I do. It's the most satisfying feeling to edit a file into a beautiful image on my screen, and then such a reward to share them on my blog. Isn't she lovely? Just so peaceful. I've used a couple of my new hats and "wraps", and am delighted with the way they turned out. Can you tell I'm all bubbly with excitement and joy to go home for Christmas? [...]

  • 3 more days...

    • and we board the plane. They're expecting snow this weekend in my dear Provence, wow, the kids are going to be besides themselves! Again, a beautiful family to share. I know I always say that, but beautiful is what they are. I've been photographing little Emma since she was a newborn and she just gets lovelier every time I see her. Brian, her big brother, is a sweet handsome little guy too, I love the pictures with his mom Julie. Greg (dad) is totally wrapped around Emma's little finger, t [...]

  • Keller

    • How sweet is this little guy? He was just a charm, perfectly comfortable swaddled in the stork/branch pose. I love my new branch, it's from a beautiful tree grown in California, I'll have to get the name of it. I'm also crazy about those little knitted hats, isn't this one just so cute? I must say the model is adorable, and probably anything on him would be very cute.

  • Christmas is coming soon...

    • It's a busy time of the year, with decorations galore, the roads crowded with shoppers on a mission. Sitting in front of my computer, I'm editing pictures of beautiful families getting their yearly portraits for Christmas cards. Christmas used to be one of my favorite holidays in France, because it was always a huge family gathering. It has taken a whole new dimension in the US, the decorations and the outdoors lights are spectacular here, but I've missed my family and french traditions. Thi [...]

  • Baby as Art workshop

    • 2 weeks ago I treated myself to a wonderful workshop, from the Baby as Art team, Carrie Sandoval and Brittany Woodall. It was a very short workshop, 2 days in all, limited to only 6 attendees (so so nice compare to the big groups of 20-30 attending wedding photography workshops). I have been a huge fan of their work for a while and was so excited to found out they were willing to share their skills. I love going to workshops, they're very intense, I always meet wonderful people (who all share [...]

  • Sarah

    • Phew! It's been a crazy month. With our trip to New York, a small hurricane, Veteran's day and Thanksgiving, the children will have gone just 11 days to school out of a 30 day month... I love spending all the extra time with them, but I've never been so behind with my files. And to top it off, I've just returned from an absolutely fantastic 2 days workshop in San Diego with the Baby as Art team (more to come on that soon, with some beautiful images). For now, let me present Sarah, a Navarre [...]

  • Michael & Maggie

    • Just as the Pensacola weather was finally deciding to take a turn, and like the rest of the world join the fall season, I photographed this pair. I moved to the US 15 years ago, 7 years after my arrival I barely had any friends, Henry suggested joining a tennis team, it was a brilliant idea. I met a wide group of lovely and fun ladies and now although I miss the sport, thanks to my photography I get to meet still many new fantastic people. Karla and her 2 sweet youngsters were just delightful [...]

  • Mr and Mrs Taylor

    • I know Gabriel and Brittany, their families and friends are all impatient to see the wedding pictures. It was a beautiful day, perfect for the celebration of a lifetime commitment between this loving couple. They wanted to savor the moment, enjoy their guests, the reception, and chose to meet prior to the ceremony, which allowed us for plenty of time to photograph them and the wedding party. My good friends, Dorene and Tim were there with me, so it was a team of 3 photographers for a full cov [...]
