  • Shiny Brand New Apple

    • YOOWOO!!! I've got a new computer: a beautiful huge screen apple, latest technology, clean lines... I spend the last week working on switching from my old computer to this little beauty. I've had some stressful moments, lots of pacing aimlessly around the house and lots of intense stares at the computer willing the little progress bar to speed up some (totally useless). It was mainly all the transfer of data accumulated over the past year from one drive to an other that had me edgy. Hitting [...]

  • Estelle

    • Estelle is now 6 months, time flies! I took pictures of her in-the-belly, then just a few days old, and now she's so big, sitting up, and full of wonderful expressions. Oh my God, those chubby cheeks! Didn't I say she had the cutest expressions?

  • Alec & Colbie

    • Web friends, you must all know by now that I LOVE photographing babies, mostly because I just love them. But never until now, have I had the chance to photograph twins. When stephanie contacted me, I was thrilled. I did, however, wonder if it would be a huge time commitment to get 2 babies to go through all the ritual of my poses. But it turned out to be one of the easiest shoot ever, they were both angels, and slept pretty much through it all. There were plenty of loving arms to hold them. [...]

  • Venice Slideshow

    • Finally, I committed to putting together a slideshow from my trip to Venice, under Yervant's mentoring. I will keep some fond memories from the romantic city, the new friends and the lessons from world wide renown photographer.

  • New York New York

    • I'm just returning home from a 4 days escapade to New York with Henry. He started running for marathons 2 years ago, with originally for goal to qualify to participate in the Boston marathon. He has been dedicated to a strict training regimen and has surpassed his highest ambition. At the same time his goals are shifting and he raises the bar for himself after each competition. This time, hoping to set a personal record at around 3:23, he surprised himself with an amazing time of 3:12. Of c [...]

  • Pumpkin patch with the girls

    • It's been a really busy weekend. The good kind of busy. It started with second shooting a beautiful wedding for Patsy Brown on Friday. Then it was all family time, I took the girls to the pumpkin patch to choose our jack-o-lanterns, where I manage to take a few pictures. We didn't celebrate Halloween in France when I was a child, and I have years of excitement to catch up with! This is one of my favorite holidays here (actually there are many more, as an America there are plenty of celebrat [...]

  • Mini Christmas session

    • It's almost Christmas season again! Every year I get a lot of Christmas cards requests and soon it's a a rush against time to have everyone set up. After the holidays I always promise myself to be better prepared the next time around. I'm finally trying something new, which will hopefully work out for all. I'm offering these mini sessions, tentative dates: Monday Oct 27, and Tuesday Oct 29, possibly more depending on the response I'll get. How it works: I will be in the Pensacola downtow [...]

  • Venice with Yervant

    • Hi there, Well, I'm back home and it always takes a few days to get my feet back on the ground. It's wonderful to be back with the kiddos and Henry, I missed everyone, but I must say that aside from the HUGE leap in improving my skills each workshops gives me, they're also quite a treat for me. I get a chance to be just me, for a short time nobody is depending on me (no children to take to school, no grocery shopping, no laundry, no mail to deal with.. you get it), but I get to do something t [...]

The models provided for us are gorgeous, wearing some amazing gowns from australians fashion de [...]

  • Violet

    • Meet sweet little Violet, she was an angel during our session. I think she probably wished I could leave her alone, so she could finally rest, but she did great. I love that smile, Babies are so "bendable", She was desperately looking for her thumb, ... not quite there, almost..

  • Next Level Workshop in Paris with Scott Robert

    • I'm a little behind on blogging and this morning I woke up determined to not allow myself to let the day go by without catching up some. I may not write too much, because now that I've spend so much time on selecting and editing the pictures, there is little time left to prepare dinner, help with homework, give baths... I've been a very lucky girl lately, traveling a lot, committed to improve my skills in photography. I went to Scott Robert's workshop in London in August, and just 3 weeks lat [...]
