It’s hard to believe it’s already time for Halloween… Where has this year gone? The weather has been AMAZING, and we are knee deep in doing fall and Christmas portraits. Last night was the fall festival, at FBC down here in Chipley, and we had an amazing time! Abigail was a ballerina, and OMG let me just say she is the cutest little ballerina I have EVER SEEN!!!! I do not know how I got so blessed to have such an amazing little girl, but I tell you she is my world, and I am so grateful for her… My dear friend Samantha, and her adorable little boys spent the day with us, Abigail and Cole (the oldest) keep telling me that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, and that when they are all grown up they are going to get married, and have a baby girl and name her Olivia.. lol I’m going to have the cutest grand babies!!! lol

Kylie was so much fun to photograph!!! I have wanted to photograph a newborn outside for about 3 years now, and I was so excited her mommy was game…  We meet up at a local garden, and this little princess was amazing for me!! As an artist, I am always looking to do new and creative things, I get bored quite easily (darn ADD) and I always need to try new things to keep my creative juices flowing… Well let me tell you this was a dream photo shoot!!! Amazing location, beautiful newborn, and great weather… could have not been a better day! Ahhh I have the BEST job EVER!!!!

Kristy & Carol are such an amazing couple! They are from north GA, but love the beach so they planned a destination wedding here at Panama City beach. I do several destination weddings every year, but this couple really stood out to me! Kristy is a teacher, and has such a kind heart, and Carol is SOO in love with Kristy… you can just see the love they share, and it really brought me back to my wedding day! Ahh we are the lucky ones Kristy… I have to say this wedding has been my favorite on the beach this year.. I want this family to adopt me.. lol

Ohh Bentley, how you melt my heart!!! This little man was so amazing for me, he slept like a champ, and curled up all snuggly for me.. It is not big secret I LOVE having a little girl, and my husband is hoping to have a son for our next child, I on the other hand are terrified of having a boy… I am a girl! I get girl things, I am girly girl, I love to play dress up and dolls with my daughter, plus hello girls’ clothing are sooo adorable!!! But I have to admit, this little man made me want a little boy… ohh he was so soft and squishy, his little noises melted me in a heartbeat… Heck now after 4 years of trying to have another baby Ill take ANYTHING!!! Lol

Dawn is such an amazing young woman; she really has her head on straight. When she first called and booked her senior portrait photo-shoot, I knew she was going to be fun to photograph. She has a great personal style, and she wanted to go to a fun location that was edgy with lots of color… So Pier Park down in Panama City beach was the perfect location.

The Winters family came down to Destin beach for their family vacation. They first come down here last year and loved it so much they had to come to our beautiful emerald coast again! This year Kelli knew she did not want to go home without some breathtaking family portraits on our beaches. She also wanted to get some fun cute girlly stuff with her girls before they got to old… So she decided to go with traditional beach attire for the family shoot, and get the girls super fun and colorful petti skirts… This family was so much fun to photograph, the oldest daughter was recovering from a tummy bug, but she totally toughed it out and was a total trouper for me.

Last winter I had the pleasure of 2^nd shooting this amazing wedding with F Scott Kennedy Photography, it was such an amazing day, the coordinator and florist did a spectacular job with this rustic elegant affair. The wedding took place at the bride’s family vacation property, and the forest was the perfect backdrop to the ceremony. The ceremony was so sweet, and the reception was one big party!!! It was quite cold outside, so it kept everyone dancing to stay warm… lol

Wow it’s hard to believe Laurie is already 4 months old! Feels like I just did her newborn portraits! But look at this little girl! Sitting up so well at just 4 months old! My daughter Abigail was the same way, sitting up like a champ at just 4 months old! Laurie is such a sweet baby, she LOVES to smile, and boy does her smile do a number to my heart… She was so good to me at her newborn session, slept like a champ, and I was surprised how well she behaved at this session… her only problem is she HATED the red tutu.. lol and of course that was her mom’s favorite prop.. lol but thankfully after a little snack she let us get a few in the red tutu.. lol

A few weeks ago Britney and & meet up to do her high school senior portraits. She is such a fun loving young lady… She is going to cosmetology school, and let me tell you this girl has some talent! She also does some modeling on the side, so we took this opportunity to not only do her senior portraits, but also get her a new headshot. We meet down in Panama City, and had some fun downtown. This young lady has quite a bright future ahead of her…

What a fun couple! When I first talked to Rayne about her engagement portraits, she told me she wanted something completely original.. She said she wanted it sexy with paint… Ohh what a fun challenge! As she was describing her relationship, I starting thinking about the movie Ghost, where they were at the pottery wheel and then…..  ahem… Man Patrick Swayze is so HOTTTTTTT!!!! So we started at a local garden to get a few more traditional shots, and then headed downtown where I found this amazing graffiti wall, and we went to town! I have to say this session was so much fun!!! I totally ruined a new pair of shoes, and I cannot get paint off my camera bag, but heck these fun shots were so worth it! Lol
