Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Session
This was a couples mini-session I did. I was plagued by rain threatening, and even drizzling a bit, but we still got in the session and managed to grab some great images I felt.
Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Session
This is the second part to a rain out session from over the summer. And I guess we are cursed because this one was pretty much rained out almost as well. It was a tad shorter than I wanted it to be, but we still got good images to compliment the first session we had....
Pensacola Commercial Product Photography Session
I was asked to photograph a product, motorized sunshades, and the need was for the outside of the windows to show up as well as the inside. So they needed to be exposed evenly. One way to do it is to merge 2 different exposures using photoshop. But that way is messy...
Pensacola Commercial Photography Session
This was a welcome break from the family beach sessions, not that I do not love them, but as with anything, do it over and over and you need something different for a day. This had the added obstacle of mirrors everywhere, which always makes it tough! I didnt get all...
Pensacola Family Beach Photos at Fort Pickens
Ahhhh...Fort Pickens finally reopened so I was able to do this session back where I like to shoot. The beach is just so much better here than anywhere else on the Island. Less crowds, the light falls better, the sand is whiter and the dunes are covered with sea oats...
Pensacola Beach Pier Family Portraits Session
Rarely am I disappointed in the images I get, but this day was a particularly hard session. While I got some nice shots, just not the amount I like to capture, therefore I cut the family a good deal. First off, Fort Pickens, the best spot for sessions, was closed....
Pensacola Dog Beach Photography Session
This couple traveled from Texas to visit our area with their dogs and thought it would be fun to get some shots of them and the dogs on the beach. Well Pensacola only allows leashed dogs on 2 small sections of the beach from 7am - 10am. Right when the sun is high and...
Pensacola Beach Photography Session at The Cross
With Fort Pickens closed due to flooding by recent rains I was forced to find a different location to shoot. I chose the local surf break known as The Cross. It is a nice place to shoot outside of the tourist season, because in season it can be pretty crowded. On this...
Pensacola Pier Family Photography Session
Well, I guess I jinxed myself. Were we having such good weather lately, but this time I got rained out in the middle of the session. Actually, not even half way through 🙁 I did manage to get in a few nice images but not nearly what I normally get so the family got a...
Pensacola Family Beach Photography Session
Two great evenings in a row that I have not had to dodge rain! I don't want to jinx myself, but I believe we are back to normal weather on the Gulf Coast. This session went really well as the light was perfect. I captured numerous keepers. [gallery link="file"...
Perdido Key Family Beach Photography Session
Once again I found myself rescheduling and dodging rainstorms. I have never seen it so rainy in this area since moving here over 15 years ago. It did break for this session thankfully and blessed us with a perfect evening out on Perdido Key Beach. [gallery link="file"...
Pensacola Beach Large Family Portrait Photography Session
This was the first session I have had that involved a dog in it. Since we are not allowed to have dogs on Fort Pickens beaches, we did it right next to a boardwalk. Bending the rules a bit perhaps, but oh well. We lost light pretty quick as getting the group organized...
Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Photo Session
This family was a very fun and athletic family. The children, all grown, were all doing flips, handstands and jumps at the end of the session which made for great images. [gallery link="file"...
Pensacola Beach Family Photography Portrait Session
And the beat goes on. Another beautiful evening out at Pensacola Beach. The sun was shining just right for my favorite spot which all gets me excited to start the session. I just love the way the sun shines and dances off the tall dunes grass in the late evening to...
Pensacola Beach Group Portrait Photography Session
This was a 3 family session, shot both as individual families and group shots. The session went off without hitch and the weather was perfect making for good photos and a nice evening on the beach. [gallery link="file"...
Team Sports Photography Session
I am in the fortunate position of knowing quite a few people around Pensacola so it affords me some unique opportunities for sessions. This session was for the Pensacola State College women's volleyball team. The session was starting to fall into the heat of the day,...
Fort Pickens & Pensacola Beach Portrait Session
This couple has a hobby of visiting Gulf Coast Forts and Lighthouses. So when she saw I often photograph inside Fort Pickens itself she was sold. She booked me and we had a nice time exploring and capturing some nice images inside and outside the fort. Then we...
Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Session
We started out the session inside Fort Pickens because the sky was looking pretty ominous. And as we were just getting back into our vehicles, Mother Nature unleashed a violent electrical storm with lightning strikes all about us. We tried to wait it out be to no...
Pensacola Beach Photography Session
This was another gorgeous evening spent out at Pensacola Beach with a very nice family. It has been great to have the normal summer pattern kick in. Pretty much always nice in the evenings, hopefully this weather keeps up for a few months. [gallery link="file"...
Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Session
I am starting to fall behind a tad in my posting of sessions. It has been fast and furious with the amount of photography I have been doing. This session was yet another fun session with a small child that I had to run around with. This little guy had an abundance of...
Pensacola Beach Portrait Photography Session
This session was booked with the intent to grab some nice images of their little girl who was turning 2. A session with a toddler is never easy as they never sit still and then combine it with all that is going on at the beach and it becomes exponentially more...
Pensacola Beach Family Photography Session
When I showed up to our meeting point I expected to see a family of 4, but it was actually 4 families! So I had to switch gears on the drive to the session location and start thinking in terms of poses for a large group and where would be the best spot. But really,...
Gulf Shores Family Beach Photography Session
The mother of this family was a friend of mine from High School. This was the first time I have seen her in 25 years. And she looked pretty much the same as she did way back then. It was fun to meet her family, and be able to capture some fun images of her little...
Pensacola Family Beach Photography Session
Lately I have been grinding it out like the crews of the Dutch Harbor crabbing fleet. Although I am not freezing cold, and I am on a beach and not at sea. I do get my full night's sleep in my bed. And there is no fear of losing my life at every turn while working....
Pensacola Beach Family Portrait Photo Session
A quick reminder to upcoming session clients: Please, please, please, slather yourself and most of all your kids in sunscreen the days leading up to the sessions. This session started pretty well. Then when I was trying to position the 4 year old son, I was unaware of...
Pensacola Senior Portrait Session at Portofino Resort
Even though they are more work and a little more stressful they are a nice change of pace. Only one person to worry about smiling and worry about lighting properly. It does help that many of the shots are not even on the beach, so I can find a shaded area to shoot at....
Fort Pickens Family Portrait Photography Session
It was so nice to have a day without rain. The evening was beautiful, as well was the light. The sun is still pretty high and hot at 6:00 so I opted to start the session inside the fort itself. I love all the textures and the light quality in the fort so it is just...
Family Beach Portrait Photography Session, Pensacola Beach, FL
It felt good to be back on home soil, except mother nature was still not cooperating fully. Rain was moving in on us early in the session so we had to cut the beach shots short and move into the fort itself where we waited out the rain. It blew through in about 15-30...
Grayton Beach Family Beach Photography Session
This was the final session from my 30a work-ation. And again with the rain. Once more I just managed to get in the session before rain started to fall. I did manage to get some shots from on the dune trail where there was a tunnel created by trees. It was really cool...
Family Beach Photography Session, Grayton Beach, Florida
This family, was actually part of my family some years ago. This is my ex-sister-in-law and husband, along with their 2 kids. It was kinda strange at first, knowing those 2 kids were to be my niece and nephew at one point. But then it was no big deal. Pam and Jeff, as...
