Emilio, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Emilio's images are exactly what my clients get when they choose a mini session. I have a huge announcement!!! I'm so excited about this and will definitely have to make a special blog post about this wonderful lady! Christine Rush has joined me to be my assistant during my newborn sessions. Emilio's session was her first time and it went like a charm. I can't say enough good things about her: she absolutely loves baby and is very experienced as a nurse who has worked in the NICU unit and a [...]
Ava, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- When a fellow photographer hires me to photograph their baby it is a huge honor! Little Ava's mom is an amazing photographer. Be sure to check her page and her work. Next time I can get all my family together we are going to see Charleen! Ava was a total dream to photograph, even though we had her session at nearly 6 weeks old! Her session is a typical example of the images you would get during a mini session: lots of different backgrounds, a variety of poses and plenty of headbands, flora [...]
Lennon, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Little Lennon introduced a new challenge for me: She favored one side and depending on the pose, she sometimes preferred to be on the exact opposite then what I'm used to photograph. It had me constantly changing the direction of my light source. Even editing her images I'm all turned around, the shadows and highlights are not where I've come to expect them. I like it! The change (to my eye it's a big one!) is fun! Isn't she the most adorable with her generous cheeks and her perfect little [...]
Kaelan, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Kaelan's session is a good example of the type of images you will get if you choose a newborn "mini session". It's not your typical 20 minute mini session. It's still a newborn session and I'm always very ambitious with getting a nice variety of poses and backgrounds. That means you will get to chill out in my studio while I take pictures of your beautiful baby for about 3 hours. I have lots of options for background fabrics and a plethora of wraps, headbands, crowns & floral crowns, bonnets [...]
Nova, Pensacola newborn photographer
- How cool to share such a blessing in this thanksgiving time! Little miss Nova already has everyone in her family completely in love with her. Her big brother, Will is quite smitten holding his precious little sister:)
Lena, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- It seems like there are so many jobs these days: I mean you can be a social media influencer... who would have thought about that when I was in high school and we didn't have computers and much less cell phones!? Out of all the options out there, you've got to admit I have one of the coolest jobs ever! I get to hold fresh beautiful little babies, photograph them and meet their family in one of the most joyful times of their lives (tired but very HAPPY). Yeah, it's really pretty awesome! Oh a [...]
Kilian, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- I'm in an editing frenzy trying to catch up with all my sessions. I'm super grateful for all my little clients and their parents and so wish I could deliver their edited gallery faster. As it turns out, contrary to my original estimations, as time goes by I take longer and longer to edit each picture. I'm becoming more critical and painfully detailed oriented. I'm adding more tools in my digital darkroom equipment to get the look I want to achieve. I keep learning new technics and doubt I wi [...]
Olivia, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- The biggest challenge during a newborn session is to have a sleepy baby. Sleepy enough that you can move him/her in all those cute little folded squishy poses. That's why we recommend to bring plenty of extra milk, once full newborns tend to fall into that drunken milk state, allowing us to "mold" baby and get some great images. Little miss Olivia was totally out! So much so that I couldn't get her to open her eyes for my 'mug shot", a picture I like to give in timeless Black & white. It's [...]
Channing, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- You walk in for your newborn session one morning barely 2 weeks after you've delivered, I'm mostly busy with your little miracle. Meanwhile you can catch up on some rest, social media, and when we take a little pause for a feeding or changing, we chitchat a little. We'll also meet prior to your session (if we managed to fit it in your schedule), and agin after your session, for you to choose your images. The session itself can last a few hours, it all depends on your baby. It's not a long in [...]
Hallow, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- A little over 2 years ago I photographed "Zinnamon", Hallow's big bro, as he was just a newborn. I was excited then to meet Mallory, after talking about her with her sweet mom. This time, I was really looking forward to their session, to have a nice visit and some time to catch up. It's pretty cool having repeat clients, getting to see families grow. I photographed Hallow just as she was turning 2 weeks. I know some parents worry about the "right time" to photograph their baby. I make my d [...]
Mental Health Awareness
- She's beautiful, kind, smart, strong, funny, brave,... so many things and also bipolar. She's my daughter, Magalie. May is the month of Mental Health Awareness. I thought I was educated and aware, I humbly realize now I was ignorant. Last year, mental health came with a force into our home. We watched our daughter crash from the hight of a frightening manic episode into the depth of depression, and rise from it all with grace, humor and wisdom. Magalie started documenting her life from the [...]
Karsyn, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Meet Karsyn, sweet little Prince to his parents. One day they come into our lives and they they totally rock our world, change all our perceptions, all our priorities and become princes and princesses of our hearts
