The Rits Family {Panama City Beach Photographer}

It was windy and cold on Panama City Beach earlier this week but nothing like family to warm each other up!

The Rits family was all together for the holidays and commissioned me to capture that on the worlds most beautiful beaches.

6 kids + Mom&Dad + Grandpa & Grandma = FUN!

Thanks to the Rits family for bearing the cold and being willing to shed off the coats between shots. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Allen & Ashleigh are married! {Panama City Wedding Photographer}

The last wedding of 2009 and certainly one of the best!

Allen & Ashleigh were married at the Callaway Assembly of God in Callaway, FL just a few days before Christmas.

Allen & Ashleigh had their first date at Starbucks so what better way to celebrate the marriage than a trip to Starbucks and that is exactly what we did! Sure we got a few funny looks, but the great employees were so nice to offer some congratulatory coffee!

A huge thanks to Allen & Ashleigh for letting me be a part of their day. Also to Ashleigh's dad for keeping me on my toes ;-) and her mom for making us feel so welcome!

Ceremony & reception was held at the Callaway Assembly of God

Hair & manicures were provided by Grand Reveal Salon

Flowers & columns were provided by One Stop Flowers

Tents & other decorations provided by Panama City Party Rentals

Daniel & Bridget { Panama City Mobile Daphne Portrait Photographer}

A few weeks ago, I traveled over to Southern Alabama to photograph this gorgeous couple! We started at the Fairhope Pier where Daniel proposed to Bridget a few years back and ended on the beautifully decorated streets of Downtown Fairhope.

Baby Benjamin {Panama City Newborn Photographer}

Talk about a little miracle! Baby Benjamin was born VERY early weighing just over a pound. He spent quite a while in the NICU at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Benjamin's mommy found me through the March of Dimes in Panama City and brought him to me for his newborn portraits.
Even though he isn't newborn he is still very tiny and fit pretty well into some of the typical newborn poses. It was such a joy to photograph this little guy. I love to see & hear preemie success stories as these precious babes hold a special place in my heart.


I think its important to include items that are special to little ones. This Elmo was a gift from Benjamin's grandfather on the day he was born...







Thanks to baby Benjamin, his Mommy & Daddy for allowing me to capture this amazing time in his life!

The Menard Family Christmas Portraits {Panama City Florida Portrait Photographer}

It was a 90% chance of rain when I checked the weather just a few days before this outdoor session in Panama City. We figured we would have to move it indoors to the studio. All day I watched the clouds and the chance of rain dropped lower & lower. Sure enough there was NO rain! So we followed through with the outdoor Christmas session as planned.

We started with the tiniest of the Menard family in her pink Uggs and mom's favorite hat :-)



Then it was on to the family photos...

Turner Kids Christmas Portraits {Panama City Photography studio Holiday Portraits}

I always have a blast with the Turner kids & I think they had fun with me this time too. I welcomed them into the studio for their annual Christmas portrait session. We had a few cookies & even a little snow!
