  • Last of DC

    • This is the last of DC, a beautiful family. I love the colors of the fall there.We are just a few days from Christmas ( I don't dare counting exactly how much, I could have a panic attack!) and it's hot and muggy in Pensacola. We are buying our tree in shorts and T-shirts! I don't think we get much of a season change in this part of the world, and somehow every year I forget that and hope for one... I must be conditioned from my childhood in France with true seasons, just expect it, and it's [...]

  • More of DC

    • It's been a while since I've had a chance to upload a few pictures. I'm very busy these days with Christmas orders, I want to make sure everyone gets it all by that special date...So, not much time for chit-chat, but here are a few pictures from 2 beautiful families:

  • Best friends

    • A few more pictures from my mad weekend in DC.Two stunning and so sweet girls, who have been best friends since preschool. After the first day of constant rain, the skies finally cleared up, and we were able to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors outside, something I really miss in Pensacola.It was hard to choose just a few pic for the blog, I find them beautiful in all, so it was a bit of a random pick.

  • Playful

    • Just a few of my favorites from these happy kids. It was a rainy day, but we still had a good time taking pictures all around their house.

  • So Handsome

    • This little boy was so cute!At 6 months old, he loved the attention we were giving him with the camera. And his mother is just beautiful.Isn't he the happiest little guy?What a smile!I love his expression on the following 2 images,

  • Busy weekend

    • Last weekend, I stayed very busy and photographed 8 families in Washington DC.I will try to post this week a few pictures of each.Today, a sweet little boy, 10 weeks old,

  • Lennon Sage

    • Just a few weeks ago I photographed Ashley pregnant. And now, she holds this precious little girl, with whom I'm in love. She is adorable, I held her and felt that warm spot where her little body was against mine and this flood of memories just invaded my heart! There are times when I long for a baby, (briefly, then my senses come back to me, and I realize that I probably would repeat the experience every 2 years... not!). Ashley is one of those natural mothers, she handles Lennon with ease [...]

  • Laura, Joe & Cannon

    • What a beautiful family and fun session this was!Cannon was just a few days shy of his first birthday, and although he didn't feel much like giving me lots of smiles, he sure was sweet and patient with me. Laura and Joe have this amazing chocolate lab, Bailey (hope I have the spelling correct), that they have trained to do the most incredible tricks: for one she's very obedient and would parade behind me to entertain Cannon, and she knows how to retrieve a beer from the refrigerator and bring i [...]

  • Ariel & John

    • Just finished working on a few pictures from this beautiful wedding.  It took place on Ono Island, the day the weather channel expected a small hurricane to land on our coast, and it was an outdoor wedding!  Surprisingly it was OK, it rained only while the bride was getting ready, and during the reception, the sky was beautiful, maybe a little dark.Dorene Nash, from Mobile was the hired photographer and I was second shooting for her. The bride was just stunning beautiful, and I love her name!  S [...]

  • Walton

    • Walton is about to celebrate his first birthday, he is growing super fast!I first took his pictures when he was 8 days old, and he managed to fit cupped in his mother's palms. Looking at him now, that seems impossible!Well, he's a very cute little boy, with beautiful parents:

  • Expecting couple

    • Isn't this the most handsome couple?I can't wait to see their little girl, just a few more days... Those are the longest though.This was a tricky photo session, because I was counting only on daylight and the sun wasn't very cooperative that day, but the pictures turned out great, regardless.I hope that soon I will be able to post images of their baby.

  • Baby A

    • I recently offered a special promotion to an OBGYN practice: only 20 expecting mothers will receive a complementary newborn portrait session. I hope each one of them will take advantage of this opportunity. Fallowing are some of my favorite pictures taken during the first of these sittings. Baby A is only 11 days old here, and she slept the whole time I photographed her. She's just adorable and beautiful like her mother.I love it when they smile in their sleep.Little A's grandparents are bot [...]
