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 ;=)

Katherine and Rick were here vacationing at The Hampton Inn on Pensacola Beach for a company vacation. Every year Katherine’s employer sends everyone here to Pensacola for some fun and some fishing. Needless to say the fishing was canceled due to the oil spill but Katherine was still coming ! Her mom is visiting from China and is almost due to leave and go back home, so I am really glad the vacation was NOW so she could get some pictures with her mom too. You guys check out Precious Mason…. such a doll and a great baby. Had a hard time getting him to smile, he is so serious just about all the time….. But I guess that is what makes him so adorable ;-)

But I did manage to get a smile or two from him ….. I told you he was precious !

———————

Love this one with Grandma ;-)

Are you kidding me…. Katherine you are GORGEOUS !!!!!

What a gorgeous picture to end a gorgeous OIL FREE day on Pensacola Beach…. Hope you guys enjoyed your vacation and give the baby a big kiss from me.

Love you guys…. Jen  BarefootSnapshots.com

Last weekend I had 5 portrait sessions on the books…. and RAIN RAIN RAIN was in the forecast ;( Was able to get 3 sessions done and 2 rescheduled. Thought Whitney’s session was going to be one of the ones that would have to be rescheduled…. the whole way over to Navarre it rained… and when I got to Navarre it was still raining… I just needed 30 minutes… 30 minutes ! Someone must have been listening when I was begging…lol because I got just about 30 minutes ;-) Whitney…. I am so glad it all worked out, and you totally ROCKED your session… and LOVED the outfits you chose for everyone ! FABULOUS :-) and your parents, they are so totally adorable ! Whitney, you are so totally awesome, so down to earth and GORGEOUS… and tell your HOT hubby that I said he needs to smile more….

UMMMM … HELLO…. I told you she was absolutely GORGEOUS !!!!!

—————————–

Told you Whitney picked out great outfits…. brown/tan/and shades of turquoise…. LOVE IT !!!

Had a great time Guys…. Hope to see you again some time !  Love ya… Jen  BarefootSnapshots.com

I met Crystal OVER a year ago… she wanted to have some family portraits done. I think we have put her appointment on the books at least 4 times since we first spoke. Her hubs works  away from home so it is hard to plan… and it seemed like just as soon as we had it worked out Lil Landon had to go for surgery… but guess what… WE GOT IT DONE !!!!!  YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY   ! It was so so so nice to finally meet you face to face… you and Joe are just adorable together… must be why those boys are SO SWEET !!! okie dokie… the moment you have been waiting for……. PICS !!!!!

I love this family shot… we had a heck of a time getting the boys to concentrate on me… they love airplanes and helicopters and they got an eye full during our session… you would think someone sent all those choppers and planes overhead to sabotage our session….lol  But that’s ok, I can make anything work…lol  ok… need to stop tooting my own horn… makes me sound like I am all that and I am NOT !!!  lol  The boys are adorable… the family pic above just about sums these guys up… they are a happy family … well maybe not the lil one Caden, mom said he is normally a smiler but he was so serious at our session.  Dad said that is his fault, Caden is too serious like him..lol Don’t worry Joe, that can be a good thing !

—————————————————-

Crystal specifically asked for a pic of the boys in the foreground and her and Joe in the background… I always try to get what my client wants but I just had a funny feeling that I would not be able to get this for her…. the boys were so busy with everything around them that I knew I might miss that pic… so I told her that she may have to settle for her and Joe in the front with the boys playing in the back… I love how it turned out ;-)  BUT GUESS WHAT…. I DID gert it the other way around too… ;-)  YAY !

But I will be honest, I almost did not get it ;( It was such a quick time frame to work with, the boys were ready to get back down to the water.. so in the original of this pic I cut Joes head off at the ears…lol so I had to put another pic of his head on this pic to make it work ;-) Thank you  PHOTOSHOP !!!!!

—————————————-

There is that smile I was waiting for  ….. I was just not doing the right thing…lol

—————————————————–

One of my all time favorite family portraits… Kisses from Caden ;-)

—————————–

and my favorite pic from the session… this just about sums up their relatinship… Love how they don’t care who is taking a pic of them, it was like I was not even there !

I gave Crystal a sneak peek on facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Barefoot-Snapshots/263320688277?ref=nf ) and she said this one is going to be blown up GINORMOUS and put over their king size bed… that is Fabulous and exactly where I would put it !!!!!!

Love you guys….. give the boys big kisses from me and tell Landon to bring his camera along on our next session ;-)  … Barefoot Jen

Quick sneak peek from my session a couple nights ago ;-) Such sweet little boys !!!

Blade and I took a trip last month to visit my grandma. We had such a wonderful time catching up with all my fabulous aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course my grandma. I took some family portraits while there… Blade was not dressed for the occasion, but he was getting jealous with all the picture taking going on and he was not in the mix….lol
