I am super duper thrilled when a client in a completely different state calls me for a portrait session… I am still in awe sometimes that people love my work so much that they DRIVE (and sometimes FLY) hours to see me. It truly surprises me and never in my wildest dreams would I believe that could happen to me !!  Jamie and Chris came over from Mississippi to get some family beach portraits done…. We started over at Fort Pickens, then on to the Beach to finish out the afternoon ;- ) Jamie… the girls are super precious and your family is amazing…. Can’t wait to see you again !  Jen

Ok… these next 2 pics I totally ADORE both of them, and again I don’t have to choose which one to post because it is MY BLOG…lol

I cannot get over how much Dad and Baby Hannah look alike… look at their smiles ;-) LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!!!!

—————-

Jamie wanted a silhouette portrait… can’t say that I blame her
This one would be ginormous above my couch !!!

… So you may be wondering why baby Hannah is so so so happy and Morgan wants nothing to do with the camera…lol

Mom just wrote me on facebook and was thrilled at what I got because of Morgan “Protesting” …lol
Look… kids will be kids, they are happy… sad… and EVERYTHING in between !
Morgan was not the happiest camper but according to the pictures I just posted she was happy just enough…lol

We have years and years and years to capture images of our little ones, I try not to stress over one session.
There are many things we can do to get a fabulous image, despite what the little ones think or are doing…lol

Peggy’s FABULOUS family put together a ton of special birthday treats for her this year, and this photo session was one of them ;-) This family is the best… they are all so very close and I just totally LOVE THAT !!! Reminds me of my own family ! Some “BeachBum’s” referred this family to me… have I mentioned lately that you guys ROCK !!! Here are a few of my favorites… ENJOY ;=)

I wish everyone could meet Cindy and Ted… they are amazing !!!  They are so happy and so into each other, and I am so so so so so so so so happy to share your weding day with you ! They have been vacationing here in Perdido Key for many years now…. they have found the neatest townhouses right on the beach. It is so secluded where they stay…. usually empty… no crowds… can’t see anyone for MILES and MILES …. and ooh the shells…. tons and tons of shells wash ashore there … it really is like Paradise. Ted said when he gets home and shows people pictures of their vacation on the beach everyone asks, “Where are all the people?”  I promise my lips are sealed on your top secret location…. but I may have to use it myself from time to time !!!

OK… on to the pics….. Poor Cindy has been blog stalking about 8 times a day……. well Cindy, it was well worth the wait, your were gorgeous ;-)

Ted was one of the happiest grooms I have EVER seen…. and both of them had not even an ounce of nervousness !!!!!

This Black and White of you guys is my FAVORITE … Love LOVE lOve it !!!!

Loved working with you both ;-) See you again real soon !!!!!  YAY… I love weddings !!!!  Jen

I know you are STRESSED that your wedding day may be ruined, or your vacation is canceled because of the recent Oil Spill…. As of today things are still gorgeous as ever on the beach. The beach is still white, normally by mid day any oil that has washed ashore is picked up and there is barely a trace of any oil… well except for the hazmat crews and tons of news crews…lol As of today I have been shooting sessions and weddings on the beach at least 3 times a week, and every session turned our wonderful ! I even had a bride go into the water with her white gown in and it did not ruin !  Our Beaches are STILL OPEN ! On another note…. even if there are a few oil clumps washed up they are not where we will be taking pictures. I tend to take pictures up on the dry white sand…. away from where the water washes upon the shore, so no oil will be seen in your pictures !

If you are wanting an update about how things really look please feel free to call me, I will be glad to let you know what is going on.

Here are a few pictures from a week ago from Pensacola Beach… so funny to see all the news crews and the hazmat crews among the swimmers…lol

BTW: the dark clumps on the beach is seaweed … NOT OIL…lol  We get seaweed washing ashore from time to time ;-)
