Olivia
- This weather is something else! Where is the winter??? Here in Pensacola, I'm photographing babies taking a bath outdoors... Perhaps those deep in snow somewhere around the globe would gladly trade their place with us, however a little cool would be welcome, just enough to pull out of the closet our nice sweaters (weather request totally fashion motivated). Today, I'm sharing a few images from Olivia's session. I think her parents should start to check if Rapunzel will accept a room mate. Renee [...]
Marlyn
- Happy New Year to everyone! Well, it's been a while... It was Christmas and it had been a long long time since all my family had come to visit. It wasn't really "all" my family, but a generous group nonetheless, we were 18 frenchies celebrating. We celebrate with gargantuesques meals, I'm on a diet now, a classic new year resolution. It was a fabulous time, very busy, but it all went by too quickly! I photographed little Marlyn just before they all started arriving and I am very grateful to [...]
Skyler, miracle baby/Pensacola children Photographer
- All babies are miracles, but not a gift to all. This family endured 6 years of several rounds of unsuccessful IVFs and a failed adoption procedure. I can't imagine the emotional roller-coaster it must have been for them, and now finally a "surprise" baby, an unexpected miracle. Amanda said at first she couldn't believe she was pregnant, even when her belly started growing, but then, the baby kicking inside her made it all real. He is just perfect.
Halloween
- I hope everyone had a joyous Halloween with many adorable trick-or-treaters at their door. I saw many clever costumes and excited little faces, smeared with candy. One of our neighbors goes "all out" on Halloween and has the most intriguing decorations about his propriety, my children have named his house the cool scary house. Among our favorite items, he has a witch's broom wondering (on it's own!!) around his sidewalk, sculpted bust tombstones talking, a witch slowly unfolding herself from [...]
Winning=feels really good!
- The announcement of the NAPCP image competition was finally released Friday, and I've been riding cloud 9th up on the 7th sky since then. Back in July, as I was frantically busy getting ready for our summer trip to France, I received an email from the NAPCP regarding their annual international competition. The entry's deadline was end of July, but I had only a day to pack and to decide which images to use. Too much to do, too little time for it all, but how would I ever experience the joy of [...]
Karis, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Starting life with such a lovely name, it's Greek origin means "grace", and it's Welsh origin means "love". Isn't it a perfect, unique name? Whitney and Cameron, I hope the pacifier has proven a good thing by now, it really was very helpful during our session. I think you'll have beautiful memories of this fleeting time.
John, Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Grinning from ear to ear, with the sweetest dimples, is John. I think the last image on this post is probably the biggest smile I've ever photographed on a newborn, and with this picture in hand, I challenge anyone to tell me newborns don't smile (John is 7 days old here). A crown fit for a prince, In an album, I would have this spread, Very much awake and alert, Happy, happy!
Check it out
- My new friends, Jessica & David, a local husband and wife wedding photographer team, have me as a guest on their blog about clothing style. How very flattering to be asked, and the session itself was a lot of fun. Quite a change to be on the other side of the camera. David and Jess work real well together and it's no wonder they cover weddings so beautifully. They complement each other perfectly, they work fast, they are synced and you really NEED that harmony in the team photographing [...]
Sweet Marian/Pensacola Newborn Photographer
- Meet sweet Marian, and when you've scrolled through her pictures, be sure to go check DeLuna Fest 2011, her parents, Emily and Scott are the founders and creators of next week's big event. The Pensacola community is so fortunate to have them put together this amazing and unique event.
Little Angel Christian
- I'm sharing quite a few pictures here today. I'm under the spell of this little family, their tenderness toward one an other touched me deeply. Anne had a very long labor, to finally have a C section, and only 5 days later they came for their session. Anne was a trouper, as I'm sure she was still sore, and CJ was totally at ease with their little one. I wanted to post many images because CJ, a Blue Angel pilot had to leave for a 3 weeks mission. I'm sure they all miss each other terribly an [...]
Edie 9 months
- Each milestone of a child's development has a specific interest for me, from a photographic stand point. With newborns, I like to emphasize their small size, their curled up fetal preferred position. For infants, 6 months old, I love their chubbiness, but especially their expressions. They are not yet "camera aware", and are so honest in front of a camera. If only to catch their many expressions, I think a session at this stage of your baby's life is a must. Their little face, big eyes, per [...]
Abby
- After editing all day, I'm a little slow on text. But the images will speak for themselves, as they show a beautiful young women about to graduate from high school. When I post pictures of "seniors", my heart always pinches for the parents, as I know how they must feel, dreading their children to fly from the nest.. My son is 13, in 8th grade, and although at times we clash, I can't imagine living without him. Abby, it was a pleasure to photograph you, I think you look absolutely fabulous, si [...]
