Wooo Hooo! I am now two for two in the last week of newborns smiling for me! I am doing the I feels so special dance right now as I blog! Okay, so perhaps the reasoning is that they are just really special babies with such loving personalities that they are advanced for their ages in the smiling department. But I still say it’s the magic of the Red Dog Studio! LOL Little Baby Alya had some amazing eyes and just was checking out all of her surroundings. She was wonderfully behaved and her parents were so adorable. They took turns with her and in a family shot as mom was kissing little Alya’s toes, dad just simply turned and kissed mom on the cheek so gentle and lovingly it was awesome! Now that’s what love is about. I hope you enjoy looking at Alya’s images as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

Baby smiles rock!

Love this!

I just adore the cute little expressions of babies!

I don’t know who was more excited for this session, me or Bella’s mom. Okay, maybe it was a total toss up, but I was so excited! I photographed Bella when she was just a bump. It was so wonderful to watch her mom and dad’s faces glow with excitement as they talked about her upcoming arrival! Well, late last week she made her debut at the Red Dog Studio. She was awake and her eyes full of curiosity as I made her first professional portraits. I am totally excited that she even gave me a smile! Okay, so cynics will say it was only gas and newborns can’t smile, but she did! And she rolled over onto her side. Oh boy, this little one is destined for big things! As we wait for her to grow up and become president or something really cool like that, we can sit back and enjoy the love and joy from her newborn portrait session!

LOVE LOVE THIS!

Smiling baby!

Oh my gosh, Seth is growing up! It is amazing what changes in just a few months! When you saw him last he was that really cute baby with the head full of black hair at three months. Now he is still that cutie pie, but he’s so grown up! He was all giggles as he sat and posed and even tried to crawl. Man it all happens so fast! Thank goodness Theresa has photographs to remind her of his different stages.

What a big boy with my dad's WWII navy hat!

He loved that bear!

Oh boy, I was so excited to see baby Carolyn and her parents again! You see, I photographed Liz and Rob’s wedding a few years ago here in Fort Walton Beach. Then last year when Carolyn was born they came back down from Atlanta to have her newborn photos made. Now, she just turned one and it was time to make the trip down to the beach again! She is such a happy baby and has just learned how to walk. It’s so much fun to watch them at that age as they stick out arms when they run to keep the balance. I laughed so hard, it was so adorable! She still has her super wonderful big blue eyes that just melt your heart as well. But now she has a pretty toothy smile to go with her smiling eyes! Yes, as an outside observer, the age of 1 is pretty ! However as a parent…I soooo don’t miss the diapers or child proofing the house!! LOL Any enjoy Carolyn’s images.

Wow, can it already be here? The Red Dog Studio has been open for a whole year! What began as a dream about five years ago came to fruition last winter as I built one of the areas only full-service photographic studios from the ground up. I wanted a studio that was large enough to utilized both as traditional light studio as well as a natural light studio. Voila, a plan was formed! It was a ton of hard work. The structure was built to the specifications I needed including six foot windows, a sky light and loft storage area. We put in the insulation and painted it ourselves. By the way, that’s how it became named the Red Dog Studio. Jack Rascal Terrorists love chasing anything that sprays. By the time I was done painting the outside, I had one large red dog! Poor Mr. Noodles!  We added hardwood flooring and some outside scenes and the Red Dog was set to go! Our sessions combine the use of our awesome studio and outside scenes along with areas at a beachside park across the street. We do offer the best of all worlds! Since the Red Dog has opened it has been the place to go for high school senior photos, pregnancy portraits and children and newborns! We just love our clients! Enjoy some images of the studio! And if you need any portraits, please feel free to call us at 850-699-3403. We are open by appointment only!

Baby Seth~ Red Dog Studio

November 30, 2009

What a great story Seth and his parents will have to tell in years to come!! You see, Seth is the first winner of our gallery wrap contest even though he never got a single vote on the blog. WHAT?? You say, how can this be? Well let me tell you how. Pam was the instigator of all of this.  You see, Pam’s daughter Megan is good friends with Seth’s mother Theresa. Pam and her family are regulars (and I love it when they come they are so much fun!! ) and Theresa has always love their photos but was not able to get any done.  So when Pam brought her daughter and granddaughter into the studio Theresa loved the images and had a newborn of her own.  When I announced Blog-a-Pallooza Pam formulated a plan and went into action with a vengeance. She managed to hustle everyone into commenting on the blog in record time. The really awesome thing about her plan was it wasn’t to win the gallery wrap for herself, it was to see if she could trade it in on baby sessions for Theresa because she wanted her to have great baby photos. It really touched me that she felt so strongly about Theresa and her family and my photography that she would make such an effort. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have little Seth, Theresa and Levi  at the Red Dog Studio for his first formal studio portraits. He was a champ and I’m looking forward to watching him grow!!
