• Family pictures

    • This family and the Langhornes have been friends for many generations now. Our children are playmates and their grand mothers grew up best friends. That's one of the many things I like about Pensacola, where some might view this as a small town, I love long lasting friendships. Jane wanted some family portraits, and some individual pictures of her 3 beautiful children. Before Ivan came to our coast and ripped apart the road leading to Fort Pickens, I use to love photographing there. There i [...]

  • Chrissy

    • She likes the beach, the sun, she's a strong swimmer, she's a "flip-flop" kinda girl. Very relax and easy going, she doesn't need much "fluff", she's a natural beauty. We would say: "elle est belle au naturel". This coming year will be her last of high school, and then there's a good chance she'll get a swim team scholarship. We hit many locations for her photo shoot, and it was a tough job to pick some favorites for this post, she's stunning in every image! I ha [...]

  • I ♥ faces

    • Trying something new. I just found out about this cool blog, I ♥ faces, which holds every week a photo contest in 2 categories (children and adult). There is a new theme each time, and this week it's sepia tone. I'll enter it with my favorite image of Taylor: (I just love the circular blur created by the "garden wire sphere" I shoot this frame through)

  • Taylor

    • Narrowing this session down was not a simple task! I have many favorites. Taylor met me last week for her senior portraits, she's about to complete her last year of high school. When she showed up at my door, I remembered her mother telling me over the phone how beautiful her daughter is (I know as mothers, we all tend to be biased, but Tami wasn't exaggerating). We spent our time between the big sexy food location, and one of Pensacola's coolest hip shop: Duh. I've had those 2 spots in min [...]

  • Albums

    • This past week, the UPS man (bless him, he's a modern version of Santa dressed in a brown outfit), came to my door almost everyday. He's Coco favorite too, because he always has a gigantic milk bone for her, on top of my packages. All the way from Italy, I received 3 enormous box, from Graphi Studio. I opened them in a hurry, heart pounding, soon had the floor covered in bubble wraps, and on my dinning room table sat 3 beautiful albums. These are the epitome of my efforts to present my image [...]

  • Elizabeth

    • Meet sweet Elizabeth, 8 weeks old. We got really lucky and she fell asleep for a little while during the session, allowing us a few favorite poses. She has a head full of hair, and plenty of volume! At 2 months, she's starting to have some cute baby roundness, with those adorable little rolls and dimples... Just chilling, I love dimples! I hope her dad won't be upset with me for showing this picture, but it makes me want to reach into my screen and just squeeze that little de [...]

  • Leigh and Brian engaged

    • It's Saturday, happy week end everyone! We have a big day planed, the weather is beautiful, we'll pack the family on the boat and spend the day on the beach, with a picnic... But first I must post some pictures of these love birds. Because they live out of town, we only met 2 days before their wedding for their engagement session. But by the end of our time together, I felt like one of their best friends, that's just how they roll.  

  • Clover & Lilly

    • Doggy day! I'm long due for this post and apologize for the delay. Still from the Pet Resort, I have Clover, 10 weeks old, an Alaskan Malamute mix (with Lab), who was brought to me by Theresa. I found my self again ashamed to not be spending more time with Coco, teaching her "obedience lessons", young Clover already has a large vocabulary repertoire, and could fallow commands in a very impressive manner. A little treat also came in handy... And if his vocal cords were like ours, I swe [...]

  • Leigh and Brian

    • My father would definitely tell me: "tu mets la charue avant les boeufs" (="puting the cart before the horse") by having this picture on my blog. This is a serious-in-love couple I just photographed this weekend. Before going to their wedding I had already decided I would get this picture, and I can see it as the perfect book cover for their album. Now, I haven't even blogged their engagement session, and here I am posting a wedding picture... la charue avant les boeufs.. I just couldn't re [...]

  • Jackson

    • Be prepared, this is a long post. This little guy was just too cute. It was a real challenge for me to pick my favorites. Jackson's mom called me to schedule a session a while back and I advised we wait till he could sit on his own. I'm so glad we waited, at this stage there is so much more I can do as far as poses. Coming from a family of strictly brown eyes, I just melt when I see blue eyes(I'll take green too), and this little boy definitely has striking shade of blue eyes! Jill and PJ, [...]

  • Grand Rapids, Part 2

    • On the last day of Amy Wenzel's workshop we photographed 6 gorgeous seniors. They had their make up and hair made by a salon in Grand Rapids (I wish I remembered their name to give them credit for their fabulous job). Amy had helped them pick through their wardrobe a special outfit for the shoot, they looked absolutely amazing and were such troopers on that cool day to give us all a chance to photograph them. We didn't have much time to chit-chat with them, but I tried to get their names, and [...]

  • Grand Rapids, Part 1

    • I intended to post these sooner but some photoshop mishap (the kind that could drive someone to the edge, or just leave you to melt in a puddle of tears) slowed me down. This series is from the first day of Amy Wenzel's workshop. It was a 3 days getaway to Grand Rapids, Michigan. I fell in love with the place, the people we met, the downtown area with beautiful building and a modern feel, the "green/organic" awareness, the weather (so mild and refreshing). It was a beautiful setting for a fa [...]
