  • Gretchen, Sidney, and the girls

    • It is chili in P'cola, FL.  Literally, when I drove away this morning to drop the kids off to school, I saw icicles on my garbage bin, where the sprinkler water was spilling from the cover, it froze!  on the spot, I'm going to have to take some pictures and document this strange phenomenon.  The other day it was much more poetic, as it happened on my rose bush.  It was really beautiful with the sun shining through, but I was so cold, I just enjoyed it from my window, instead of pulling my camera [...]

  • Aiden

    • New little baby, Aiden, born to Cassandra and Adam. We took those pictures on one of those days where the weather just couldn't make up its mind, as I left my house it was all sunny, by the time I arrived to their house it was very overcast. Luckily, Adam and Cassandra had a nice covered porch, and that's where we took our session. Check out this beautiful family, Aiden did a great job being my model of the day, Look at that sweet innocent little smile in his sleep, I always as [...]

  • Shannon, Michael, Caraline and Colin

    • All right, brace yourselves because this is a long post, many pictures! I had to, I treated the session as family portrait, and an "E session". Shannon and Michael are the sweetest couple, so in love. They will be getting married in May, and didn't really have any pictures of them together. Don't they make a beautiful family? The session was a lot of fun, everyone was in a playful mood. I love this mother/daughter picture. Shannon is an absolutely amazing mom, dedicated to her chil [...]

  • 2 Families @ the beach

    • Still catching up on my blog. Today, 2 beautiful families who were staying at the beach for a vacation. We took the opportunity for some portraits. I'm always a little wary of the beach, I'm not a big fan of the sand, but I'm totally paranoid when I have my camera with me. I can just hear the little white grains caught up in the lens mount, working their way towards my sensor... But I must admit, once I overcome my phobia, the Pensacola beach is just like these fantasies holiday spot on a p [...]

  • Natalie, Beau and Colton

    • Here's a real precious family. It was super cold that day, and I was afraid everyone would have a Rudolph red nose, but luckily no. Little Colton was very patient with me, I love the 3 pictures his mom chose for the back of their cards. Natalie had a really neat bright scarf on, Colton looked so cute all wrapped up in it with her.

  • The Epsteins

    • Comment ça va?  School started back last week.  While I loved having the kids at home, not much got done around the house, and I definitely abandoned my computer and the webworld.  I have found that either when overwhelmed with work, or all wrapped up in my family, I tend to forget my blog duties...  So, let's try to stay back on track now, and post some long due family portraits. Paul and Sherié, owners of Running wild with their 3 daughters, Sadie, Savannah and Sarah.  This family is always [...]

  • Bonne Annee et Bonne Sante a tous!!!

    • My last post for this year, to wish everyone a very happy New Year. Time flies, it doesn't seem that long ago when I went to school and all the kids were excited about 1980! I didn't quite understand why all the fuss, then there was the new millennium, that really feels like yesterday, and now we are already about to start 2009!!! Wow, it's going by too fast. I see my children grow, too quick. No matter how determined I am to enjoy every minute with them, I end up caught up in everyday life [...]

  • Walker & Avery

    • My friend, Barclay and her family are totally committed to their horses. She recently asked me to take pictures of her children at the barn. It was so much fun, it reminded me of when I was a kid and had my one year fling of riding. Only good memories, I was so close to getting my own horse, just like Avery and Walker. Avery on her pony, Oliver Twist. Isn't that the coolest name? And Walker with his horse, Custom Taylored. I had to put this one in, This little girl has the [...]

  • Anne & Jimmy

    • A little sneak peak at what's to come... Just a few pictures that tell the story of this beautiful day, how Jimmy and Anne are now husband and wife. They are so much in love and have a bright future ahead of them, both physicians about to start their carriers. There had been rumors of possible storms, but the skies cleared up and it was a perfect day. The ceremony was held in the sanctuary of Christ Church, and the reception was on the grounds of Bay Moorrings, property of DeeDee Reilly, a de [...]

  • Walker

    • A quick teaser of a session at the barn. My friend, Barclay asked me to photograph her children in their favorite environment. I started tonight looking through some of the pictures I took that day and found many keepers. I couldn't resist posting one before heading to bed. I hope everyone had a marvelous thanksgiving and a good dose of family gatherings. I went to our family dinner determined not to eat too much and I'm not sure how it happened but I stuffed myself. I think I take dieting [...]
