Mollie is going to be one of the many 2011 graduates this year, she is also the only Baker School Senior Model for Mari’s Paradise Images. She is funny and beautiful and enjoys the outdoor activities like fishing and hunting that go with living in the northern end of our county. So, how do you mix all of this together you ask? Well, you find some tried and true locations, throw on a super fun dress and your favorite cowboy boots of course! It was hot as heck when we did the shoot, but Mollie was a trooper and despite both of us sweating gallons, we made some wonderful images! Please find Mollie and get a rep card from her for a special price on your senior portraits!! The offer ends September 5th!!! And enjoy her images!

I met Devon this summer through mutual friends. She is from the Atlanta area and came down to spend the summer with her grandmother in Florida. She had seen some work I had done for our friends and wanted me to do her senior portraits. Now Devon is full of spunk, a fashionista and on top of that does poetry slams! Her poems are actually very, very good!  We got together and talked about some things we wanted to accomplish and then we went and had a great time!! She even introduced me to the rapper Waka Flocka Flame’s music. Well, so maybe I’m not ready to be a huge fan of his, but it wasn’t bad. It was a pleasure getting to know her and I hope you enjoy her images.

I love her eyes in this picture!

We actually incorporated a poem Devon wrote about the girl she sees when she looks into the mirror.

I was really looking forward to this beach portrait session. The M. Family, what more can you ask for? They are great looking people who are really fun! Now that’s my type of family session for sure! I met them when I shot their daughter’s wedding. Wow, talk about fun as well!! And now the whole family was together again this summer and we got to have fun on the beach. We didn’t have to worry about any tar balls or odor either, it was simply perfect! Please take a moment to enjoy their images!

You know with three daughters all so beautiful, they have to be a great looking couple!

And handsome couple they are indeed!! I think Mom looks like Sandra Bullock!

Eighty days after the oil rig explosion in the Gulf, the beaches of South Walton County and Grayton Beach are still as beautiful as ever! The C. Family came down to have their beach portraits made and had a new member! Keeping with family tradition she runs pretty quickly too!! LOL  The girls have grown so much, it is always fun to see how much the children change through the years. We had a great time and the sea oats are almost fully in bloom offering yet another backdrop in the beautiful wonderland we call the Emerald Coast.  Come on down and visit our beaches!

Sometimes you just don't want to hang with your sisters!

I love a good hot sexy couple that is sooo in love with each other even after kids! J and B are that couple. Not only are they a beautiful couple on the outside, but they are also as beautiful on the inside as well! J wanted to surprise her sweetie with a special shoot for their anniversary, hmmm think he was surprised? Enjoy their images, I think they had fun making them! Happy third Anniversary J and B!!

Tell me they aren't adorable together!

The L. Family came to visit Okaloosa Island and enjoy our oil free beaches and get some beautiful beach portraits made by me.  I really loved the wonderful large waves and sea oats in bloom. Enjoy their images!

Ashley is so cute and bubbly! She was able to rock each and every outfit and scene change of her senior portrait session. Okay well sessions, Mother Nature didn’t allow us to finish up her session the first day as a huge pop up thunderstorm came along and ruined our outdoor plans. But we came back and got them done with gusto! Enjoy a sample of her images!

Hey guys, thanks for checking out my blog! Here is our last Choctawhatchee High School Senior Model, Tra. He’s got charisma, charm and some mad athletic skills! Not only is he a football player (check out the stats…he helped crush arch rival Fort Walton Beach High School last year with a touch down) but he’s also a cheerleader! And did I mention his very infectious smile? He knows how to quietly work the camera and looks great! Remember, to grab a card from him for an ultra cool deal on your senior portrait session!!

Big waves and beautiful skies was the backdrop for the “W” family beach portrait in Destin recently. Little “W” had a blast exploring the beach and of course….running! Well, at that age, it’s what they do!! But they look so cute when they run off into the sunset! Anyway, they were a beautiful family and we had a blast photographing them. Now you can enjoy their images.

Happy Birthday Denise!! You see today is a very special client’s birthday, and for her birthday week she chose to have her family portraits made by little old me! Of course she has been a regular for about a half-decade and it has been so much fun watching her children grow up and turn into great people! This year we added a new person to the family portrait…hmmm…do I smell a wedding in the next five years or so?? LOL I’m just kidding, no pressure from me. Anyway, the beaches were nice, the sunset beautiful and of course…we are still oil free. Enjoy Denise’s family and if you see her today, wish her a very happy birthday!

Love the touch of orange. Isn't it a great color on Denise?
