I loved photographing Bryt! She was game for anything and seemed like she was having a great time during the whole session! We mixed up some high fashion with some plain old fun! Bryt wanted something that the school appointed senior portrait photographer was unable to do for her. She wanted her personality to shine through, she wanted someone to take the time to create a piece of art that she will look back at in 20 years with fondness…she wanted sass, fun and style! That’s why she came to me. We had fun, got a bit wet and ate laughed a ton! Hope you enjoy her images!

Bryt ~ Senior Portraits, class of 2011 ~
August 8, 2010I have photographed the E. Family enough years in a row that I’m pretty sure I have earned a place in the family portrait!! And I look forward to their family portraits every year! So what type of family are they you ask? They are spontaneous, loving and a ton of stinkin’ fun! Now as a word to the wise, if you are a photographer who doesn’t like to laugh and have fun while photographing your clients, this family is NOT for you. However, if you are like me and love to enjoy the time you spend with your clients while laughing, having a good time and making great images…then this is a perfect group! But so sorry folks…I’m not giving up my adopted place in this family! They’re much to fun! Next year hopefully we’ll have the whole family in Florida at the same time. With active duty members in the family, we haven’t ever been able to get everyone at once…YET!
Hey blog fans! You may remember about a month ago I blogged a really pretty senior from Choctaw High School named Liz. Well, now meet her twin sister Kady! While Liz was quiet and reserved and we made some beautiful images reflecting that, Kady is the polar opposite. She never meets a stranger and is on the varsity cheerleading squad. It was so much fun to photograph both girls and give them each their own individual look. I found some cool places for Kady’s shoot and and we made some great images. Not your standard in and out cookie cutter senior portraits! If you want more for yourself out of your senior portraits, give me a call at 850-699-3403!




Catching up on Beach portrait blogs ~No more oil in Destin~
August 2, 2010
As I write this I am a little bit optimistic! I have seen no sign of oil (tar balls or otherwise) along our beaches for about two weeks. You don’t know how happy this makes me! YAY! But now it’s time to get up off of the beach and begin blogging. I just can’t say enough about these families, they were all so wonderful and awesome! And a few of them are celebrating over five years in a row coming to me for their family pictures! I am so honored to be able to say that. Anyway, enough of the chit chat, let’s take a look at some great families on our oil free beaches!!



I love a good hot sexy couple that is sooo in love with each other even after kids! J and B are that couple.

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!!
