Marie’s mom called me from Ohio because her daughter wanted to have her senior pictures done at their second home in Carillon Beach. She said her daughter was beautiful, fun, had a great personality and wanted some Florida style out of the ordinary images for her senior portraits. Well, she was right!! Marie is funny, beautiful and intelligent! We had a blast! I hope you enjoy her images as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

August 24, 2010The P. Family Beach Session ~~ Destin Beaches looking Great! ~~
August 10, 2010The P. Family was awesome! We had a good time, it was one of those evenings with the cobalt sky and random WWII military stunt planes flying above giving us our own private show. The big fluffy clouds floated by and the sun graced them with a wonderful tint from the sunset. It was a great evening. Well, except for the fact that during the shoot the doctors office called me to tell me my husband was being admitted to the hospital. It was no surprise, but still threw me for a loop a bit. Thank you to the P. Family for being understanding when suddenly I became the biggest airhead on the planet in the middle of the shoot…LOL I am happy to say that the hubster is now home and doing well. I appreciate everyone who has posted expressing their thoughts and prayers. And I am also happy to show you the P. family 2010, enjoy!
The H. Family was a ton of fun! They came to me in Grayton Beach on Scenic Hwy. 30A to do their family beach portraits. All of the kids were so well behaved and although it looked as though the sky could open up and storm at any minute, we didn’t experience a drop of rain to temper our beach fun! With the scare of oil and start of school, the beaches were deserted. It looked more vacant than the dead of winter, but it was fine for us. We used all of the beach as a canvas for their beach portraits! I hope you enjoy them!
Class of 2011 Senior Portraits ~~ Heather~~
August 3, 2010Heather came down to Destin from Georga with her family this summer and wanted her senior portraits done in a very artistic and unique way. So they came to me to give her some high fashion based fun and unique images. We began at one of my favorite places, Eden State Gardens and then went to the Sandestin Property. Wow, you could shoot there for days and not use the same place twice! It was simply wonderful. Heather also plays tennis, but didn’t want the typical in a tennis uniform shot. She wanted one in a classy dress and heels showing that she was fierce and owned the court, but in a very feminine manner. I think we hit that nail right on the head and ended up with a shot that could have come out of Cosmo or Vogue. Okay at least Vanity Fare. Take a look for yourself! Enjoy and leave a comment if you would like. We love feedback!



Oh my gosh, when New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer Scott Threlkeld called me to ask if I would be a subject for a story on businesses along the Gulf Coast adversely affected by the oil spill I was so nervous! I am always the person BEHIND the camera, not in front. He drove over from New Orleans last week to video and photograph me as I did a beach session. I was excited in the fact that folks indeed could see in person that there really is no reason for them not to come down and enjoy our beaches. Our sand is as white as ever and the water oh so inviting! I toyed for a moment on wearing my F BP shirt (that would be Florida against BP, don’t get any ideas), but then thought maybe not! My clients for the evening, the A. Family have come to me for several years and they were excited to be profiled in the story. It was also fun to see in a video how I shot the images and then the images themselves. Thankfully the majority of video is of their family and NOT me!! LOL Thank you Scott!!! We had a great time and made some fun images. I hope folks will see that we are still open for business and will come down for a great fall vacation! Please check out all of the folks interviewed for the story and enjoy the images from the A. Family!
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 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!
I love a good hot sexy couple that is sooo in love with each other even after kids! J and B are that couple.

July 11, 2010Big 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.
