The Aiken family

Another beautiful family from Georgia! 'They must know how to grow them up there' as the saying goes. LOL

Little 'M' was tired from a long day of traveling but she was a trooper & put up with me pretty well! :-)




She loved Daddy throwing her though!




You know I can't resist photographing feet in the sand..especially when they are attached to the adorable chubby legs of a 1 yr old!!!





She was perfectly happy playing with Aunt's necklace too :-)



The whole group...



A big thanks to the Aiken family!

The Kearney family

I love shooting large families! It always touches my heart to see families who love each other so much!
Not to mention the fun you have when you get that many sisters, brothers, parents & in-laws together! This shoot was no different. They were willing to try anything & have some fun.


The Kearney's are expecting baby #3 in a few months! Judging by their other 2 fellas this is going to one gorgeous baby!



These 2 little heartbreakers LOVED the camera!









Newly engaged & so much in love!


We attempted to replicate a photo that was special to the family using the engagement ring...


We even managed to get a few fun shots! lol




And a beautiful ending to a beautiful session!



Thanks to the Kearney family for allowing me to have a great time with them while we captured some priceless memories!

The Kegley family

This beautiful family is from Kentucky. Such friendly people! We had an impending threat of rain up til just a little while before the the session but luckily the evening turned out to be beautiful!



I love capturing relationships, especially between parents & young adults.







Thanks to the Kegley family for choosing me to capture your memories here on Panama City Beach!

The Barron family

This was a fun shoot! Beautiful day, beautiful beach & beauitful family! Makes for awesome photos. This shoot took place on Tyndall Air Force Base. The most beautiful pristine beach you can imagine. No people, no condos, just beach!
This family was so photogenic and the little 'L' & 'T' were so adorable I couldn't help but end up with 80 proofs :-D













It seems to me that moms & dads tend to get lost in their children. They want that photo of their little ones but often forget about themselves. I always try to incorporate some photos of mom & dad stealing a moment alone. Since those are few & far between when you have small (or big ;-) kids.



I love to capture fun photos that really show personality. She really caught some air there too!



It was a perfect sunset!

Jones & Rachesky family

I was pleased to meet & photograph this large family not long ago. The dad/grandpa is turning 80 next month & they wanted family photos of everyone together. We chose Oaks By The Bay park as the location & it was a great one! So many little areas to capture nice photos. I had never shot at this location but I already have to more sessions booked for this spot in the next month! I think its perfect for families. We captured some photos of the entire group all the way down to individual familes (even one just starting out ;-)
They were a great group & all beautiful so they made my job super easy! BTW- in case you recognize the name.. This is would be Dr. Rachesky, only THE best pediatrician in the Panama City area. I should know since she has taken wonderful care of all my little guys :-)





The Jones family


Told ya they were beautiful! :-D


We deemed this the 'family tree'


Just starting out..not even showing yet. Wonder who her pediatrian will be :-P



The Rachesky family


Thanks to all the families involoved for being so great & allowing me to be the one to capture these memories for you!

The Carney family

Here on vacation from Georgia, the Carney family was such a joy to photograph! 'J' & 'T' have 4 amazing children. They were all very cooperative & so well behaved!
I got to know the family a few weeks before they actually made the trip down through email correspondence with 'T'. They had been looking for a photographer and were completely overwhelmed, not knowing what or who to look for. They had almost given up hope when 'T' woke up at 4:15am and felt like God told her to look again. Thats when she found me! I was very touched by that. It feels great to know I really am doing something important in helping families capture these memories.










See I told you they were a beautiful family :-)


I had to grab a few photos of mom & dad alone too!


I just love familes with the sunset


Thanks to 'J', 'T' & all 4 of the 'E's for letting me capture your vacation memories! God Bless you all!!!

My assistant!

After an interesting day, my assitant & I made our way out to Deer Lake state park to photograph a set up for a local party rental center (www.pcpartyrentals.com ...they are THE place to rent in this region!) . The sunset was absolutley breathtaking! It was a gorgeous day which ended with a gorgeous sunset. Incredible sun rays coming out of the clouds! I had to photograph someone with it, it was too pretty to pass up. SO I persuaded Amanda to strike a few poses for me! We got some beautiful photos too!







Thanks to Amanda for letting me torture you a little bit LOL

The Taulbee family

Once again, I am catching up on the blog. I have been so busy with sessions & orders I never seem to find the time to do this!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting & photographing the Taulbee family from Ohio. They were here vacationing on Panama City Beach. It was a very windy day so we didn't get much of a sunset and the water wasn't the usual crystal clear emerald color. We did have a great time trying not to blow to pieces in the wind and got some great shots out of it!
Here are a few from the evening...







Not sure what it is I love so much about feet in the sand, but anytime I have a willing participant or two (or three ;-) I have to photograph it!



Thanks to the Taulbee's! You all have a beautiful family!
