We are now in France. Paris was all white, and when we drove home from the Marseille airport, snow was falling steadily. We woke up to a delightful scenery, overnight enough snow had collected to make a thin white blanket everywhere around us. My parents' house is mildly decorated by american standards, but is still in a very festive mood with the huge family gathering we are having. It's warm inside by the fireplace (the real thing, wood burning giving a true winter smell and feel). It's . [...]

and we board the plane. They're expecting snow this weekend in my dear Provence, wow, the kids are going to be besides themselves!
Again, a beautiful family to share. I know I always say that, but beautiful is what they are. I've been photographing little Emma since she was a newborn and she just gets lovelier every time I see her. Brian, her big brother, is a sweet handsome little guy too, I love the pictures with his mom Julie. Greg (dad) is totally wrapped around Emma's little finger, t [...]

It's a busy time of the year, with decorations galore, the roads crowded with shoppers on a mission. Sitting in front of my computer, I'm editing pictures of beautiful families getting their yearly portraits for Christmas cards. Christmas used to be one of my favorite holidays in France, because it was always a huge family gathering. It has taken a whole new dimension in the US, the decorations and the outdoors lights are spectacular here, but I've missed my family and french traditions. Thi [...]

Lucy's family is beautiful inside and out, they all gave me the most genuine smiles, wholeheartedly. There was no coercing, I could have photograph them forever, if it hadn't been for the fierce mosquitoes that day on the west side of town... As a mom, I so much loved watching their family dynamics, the conviviality between them. I'm also envious of Lucy's gentle temper (I'm cursed with the mediterranean quick temper).
Lovely Kailey,
Little Zach, so so cute!!!
And handsome Hunter, so [...]

Meet 5 year old Aiden. His mom, An, has a great sense of style and fashion. She was very well prepared for the shoot, and I LOVE all the clothes she chose for Aiden. This little guy was so cool to photograph. He's a rocker, came with his guitar, loves to draw, and seems to have a passion for dinosaurs. An had even thought of bringing his wooden scooter, you can tell he's in heaven riding it.
We finished the session with a little family shot at An and Ashton's house. It is the coolest hous [...]

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 [...]

I have struggled with this post! Sam is the sweetest little boy, most adorable in all pictures. I had to restrain myself and try to select just a few favorite images. You've got to admit it's a hard task with such a cute little model. His parents are new to Pensacola (they haven't endured a summer yet...) Jake is going to flight school, and Holly is staying very busy with little mister Sam.
I love his hat, I'm a big fan of hats on babies and children,
All smiles..
Lovely family,

Hello wonderful Cyber space world!
What a great weekend we had here in Pensacola. 2 hot dates with my hubby and friends. I'm not a difficult girl to please on a date, I just LOVE going to the movies, and right now the theaters have plenty of great selections. Friday night was Taken, which takes place in France (right there I'm on board), packed with action, Liam Neeson is a kick-ass dad. Thankfully the horror of the kidnapping isn't so much the focus in the movie, it's mostly all about Liam [...]

I LOVE this family! They are very very dear to me. Henry and Jenni's uncle, Leo have been friends forever, they share many extraordinary fishing tales together. Really, all of Jenni's big family has been close to Henry and all have always been so sweet to me. Besides, I've photographed Walton when he was just a few days old. He was my first baby model, and one of his pictures remains my all time favorite. I have used that image many times through out town as advertisement for my baby photo [...]

Katie and John were the sweetest and so much fun to photograph. They told me all through the session that Andrew is usually all smiles, but not that day. I think it's the big black thing that I held close to my face, that had him a little perplex. Still, I think these turned out really nice, and he did give his dad a brilliant smile on this first image.
Andrew was hungry, and while Katie was heating up a bottle for him, John had to keep him waiting, an early lesson of patience [...]

It is chili in P'cola, FL. Literally, when I drove away this morning to drop the kids off to school, I saw icicles on my garbage bin, where the sprinkler water was spilling from the cover, it froze! on the spot, I'm going to have to take some pictures and document this strange phenomenon. The other day it was much more poetic, as it happened on my rose bush. It was really beautiful with the sun shining through, but I was so cold, I just enjoyed it from my window, instead of pulling my camera [...]

All right, brace yourselves because this is a long post, many pictures! I had to, I treated the session as family portrait, and an "E session". Shannon and Michael are the sweetest couple, so in love. They will be getting married in May, and didn't really have any pictures of them together.
Don't they make a beautiful family?
The session was a lot of fun, everyone was in a playful mood.
I love this mother/daughter picture. Shannon is an absolutely amazing mom, dedicated to her chil [...]
