Riley, Pensacola photographer
- It's become a tradition to have a few pictures taken during your senior year, some of the images will be used for graduation announcement. Quite a special milestone when you think of it, it marks the end of your 12 years in the school system, and mostly the end of living with your parents at home... The transition to moving to becoming independent, living semi-on-your own, in a dorm. It's also time to appreciate all those years hard work and celebrate your college acceptance! In Riley's case.

Charlie, Gulf Breeze Newborn Photographer
- This past year when a potential client reaches out to me asking about my newborn photography, I have started recommending that we meet first in my studio. I feel this little social visit has brought so much to my sessions, allowing me to customize them to every client and make it truly special to them. In this case, Sarah mentioned that her husband Nate owns an instrument store and could he maybe bring his guitar to the session? We met early enough before her due date for me to order a specia [...]
Melanie, Pensacola Maternity Photographer
- 15 years ago, I was very pregnant with my daughter Olivia. Under the pretext that I was "eating for 2" I gladly ate all that my heart desired. I was vaguely aware that I hadn't just developed a lovely bump, but that all my body had follow suit growing... a lot! Those were the days of "simply delicious" and lunches at "our place", does anyone remember those? I really wanted a keepsake of my belly, just my belly. I had the genius idea to ask Henry, my husband, to photograph me in a bubble bath [...]
Joey, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Welcome to the world sweet little Joey, and look at his adorable little sister! She wasn't too comfortable having her picture taken, but thanks to photoshop, it was easy to get this nice sibling image as a "composite": I photographed her alone next to the empty bucket, and later on photographed Joey inside the bucket. Combining, merging the pictures into photoshop later makes these tricky situation a breeze!
Sandra, Pensacola Maternity photographer
- Last year, I photographed the first baby of this beautiful family and I'm so excited to soon meet little Milo. Sandra was such a good sport to go hike around in this super long gown, and I love the result!
Meghan Washington High school class of 2018
- I loved photographing Meghan, thank you so much for trusting me to capture this time in her life!
Stewart, Washington High Class of 2018
- I always try to get a feel for what my clients like, so that their session will fit their personality. Generally the parents will give me clues. Stewart's mom gave me the best description to date in just one simple sentence: "I call him my preppy redneck surfer". I must admit I had to do a little research because when she mentioned mudding and mud holes, I had no idea what we were discussing, but I really enjoyed photographing Stewart in one of his favorite mud holes with his truck. I love t [...]
Reagan, Gulf Breeze High School class of 2018
- A wonderful softball player, Reagan will be joining Rollins college in the fall and playing for them. I am looking forward to meeting her sister in a few years, I love this family! Deedee, thank you for trusting me again and for the puppy time:) Puppy LOVE!
Blake, Gulf Breeze class of 2018
- And just after I announced I wasn't photographing seniors, I will be posting 5 more seniors from this 2018 class. I had some prior engagements to this notice, and will continue to service past clients if they request it, but I would rather dedicate my time to maternity and newborn photography and do not plan on taking on new senior clients. However, getting to meet and photograph a fine young man like Blake almost made me want to reconsider this decision! It was such a pleasure to spend an af [...]
Mia, little ballerina, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- It was a pleasure to meet this very charismatic couple-turned-family. When Michelle walks into a room, she fills it with her grace and laughter, I can only imagine what a wonderful dancing teacher she must be! Michael is the ballet director at "LaBelle performing Art Studio", after 15 years of a very impressive performing career. In this context, I had to have an image of Mia in a tutu, and I commissioned my friend "Ans" to make a sweet knitted newborn version of a ballet tutu. It came out b [...]
Aidan, joining the Pensacola Law & Order Team
- Meet adorable little Aidan, nicknamed "Perfect", because he simply is just that... Perfect! His mama is one of the most fit woman I have ever met, I watch her lift 45lbs dumbbells when I struggle with the 20lbs ones, and she was running a half marathon while 8 months pregnant!...#goals When your daddy is a Police officer,
Spread kindness
- When I think of my friends the Schneiders, I am reminded of the movie Wonder, and the movement #choosekind it triggered. Erika steps into my photography life with the most unique timing, always inspiring me and giving me hope when my tank is low. The first time she uplifted me was when she received Cosette. That day coincided with a awful terrorist attack in France and the beautiful display of love was the heartwarming I needed. The second time was 8 months ago. I couldn't share until the a [...]
