I recently spent a weekend morning with Kristine and Charles at the home of his aunt and uncle, Marilyn and John Connelly, in Belleair. It was truly a gorgeous home: full of light and beautiful spaces, filled with years of memories and special touches. It was absolutely perfect for our session!
I’ve said it before, and...

I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this session with Tammy, Bryan, Emilia and Auntie Beth. Their family is precious, and I have looked forward to this session for months! Actually, I photographed them just last fall during my holiday mini-sessions, and was so excited to have them book a full session...

Our darling baby girl turned two last week. We celebrated. We sang. We clapped. I cried, as everyone expected. And if you’ve been reading this blog for more than a minute, then you know that my crying over my children was never a question in the first place.

This shoot was perhaps one of the most important sessions I’ve ever done. I have permission from Heather to share her story with you, in hopes that it will inspire other women… mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, friends, to approach whatever challenges come their way with hope, strength, grace and peace.

I had the honor of photographing this sweet baby boy under one of my favorite piers here on the Gulf Coast. I thought it was only fitting to document him near the waves, given his name and how important the water is to his parents. Introducing little Ocean, photographed at just ten days old. ....
