Meet the L Family. My husband and I have known them for a few years now and I have to tell you, they are just wonderful people. You really couldn’t ask for better friends to have. S is a true inspiration. She has been fighting cancer now for many years and her strength just amazes me. She is absolutely radiant right now Her husband C is quite the character. He cracked me up constantly during our session. And you can really tell how much he loves S when he looks at her. It’s so apparent. I love that. And their matching Livestrong bands were adorable. S and C also brought along their son, T. I tried to capture a few shots of T with his parents and even though he’s not big on smiling, I was able to crack a few smiles from this cutie. He brought his guitar along with him and it made for a fun session. You’ll be seeing a bit more of this family shortly…..their daughter was a little under the weather the day we got together so they are going to come back when she’s feeling a little better. I can’t wait! I already have some ideas brewing and I’m hoping my fields will liven up a bit by then and it will start looking a little more like spring out here!

It was so much fun getting to hang out with you guys the other day and catch up! Hope you enjoy your images

Baby Shower Fun-Pensacola Beach Maternity Photographer

I had the pleasure of capturing a baby shower for K this past Sunday. It was held at a restaurant on the beach and was very cute and casual. K is due to have her first baby….a BOY….in about 5 weeks….and she asked if I would come and capture some candids of her shower because it was very special to her and she wanted to make sure she preserved the moments. I met some really nice people and it was so much fun to watch her open her gifts! You could sense how excited everyone is over the impending birth of this child. And K….well, she glowed. Not all pregnant women glow….I think that’s a myth…..but K definitely had that glow. K, thank you SO much for inviting me to such a special moment in your life. I can’t wait to do your maternity and newborn pictures!

Before I post anything about my next session….I just want to apologize for my turnaround time on everyone’s proofs for the past few weeks. I have had severe computer issues that were causing my editing work to go extremely slow and after trying everything I could to get my computer fixed, I ended up having to finally get a brand new computer. I really shouldn’t have had to since my “old” computer was barely a year old….but it stopped working and I was beyond frustrated….so my wonderful husband….and I do mean wonderful….drove 3.5 hours to the nearest Apple store the other night and picked up a new one for me….so I am finally able to get caught up on everyone’s proofs and orders! Alright….onto my next session….

I got to meet up with a large family a few weeks ago…..seven children…..yes….SEVEN. Of course, they aren’t all siblings….I actually went to school with R and she has 3 beautiful little girls….and R’s sister’s 4 children came along to join in on the fun as well. The cousins ranged from ages 10 months to 14 years….I have to admit that this was a challenging session to do….to try to incorporate all the children together….especially the two 2 year olds (who were quite uninterested in the whole process)….was definitely challenging. The children were very sweet though….not to mention they all had gorgeous eyes….I don’t think any of the children had the same colored eyes but they were all equally beautiful. We did our best to get some nice shots of all the kiddos….we started in a local park and used the trees as shade from the direct harsh light of the morning. Afterward, we tried to move to a more urban area downtown but the light was too harsh by this point and the smaller children were really over having their pictures taken as well so it was time to call it a day

Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the pleasure last week to photograph a family who is very near and dear to me…..the C family. I met S last year as she was my son’s kindergarten teacher and our family just adores her (my son says he’s going to marry her one day ). I honestly don’t know where my son would be today without this lovely lady who we were very blessed to have come into our lives. Her husband, B, is a minister at a local church and they have 2 very beautiful, precious children…..S who is 10 and M who is 7. M is just darling….I absolutely loved his toothless grin. And I have to say that S is becoming quite a little lady….she’s just beautiful and I am in love with the pictures I got of her. I captured numerous images of the children together and alone as well as some family images. B’s brother, B, was visiting and came along to join in on the fun as well. These two fun brothers decided to give us a musical treat when they played their guitars out in my field. We were racing against the light but it was such a fun session. I have to say that I know that this family cherishes each other every single day and they feel truly blessed with all the little adventures that life throws at them.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek C family!

I had the pleasure of having a session last week with the D family. I actually went to high school with S but haven’t seen her in probably 15 years now (wow, that makes me feel old!) It was so nice getting to see her again and meeting her beautiful family. Her husband joined for some family pictures and then headed off to go hunting while we tried to capture the kiddos. S told me that her son, B, might be hard to photograph….but he was more than willing and did such a great job for me. And her daughter, H, was a total ham from the get go. I absolutely adored her children….they were beautiful and fun.

Here’s your sneak peek D family! I hope you enjoy them!

I had the pleasure of meeting the R family Thursday evening. They had two precious boys. K was a handsome young man….and although he told me he didn’t have a girlfriend, I’m thinking that possibly he might have a few of them And Little H gave me a run for my money. He had tons of energy and honestly could have cared less about me or my camera being stuck in his face. Here’s a sneak peek mom and dad….hope you enjoy!

More Danger-Pensacola FL Family Baby Photographer

Amanda — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:17:03 +0000

He’s baaaaack……I’m sure most of you will remember this little cutie since his newborn session was my very first blog post….my cute nephew, Milo Danger, is now 6 months old and I took a trip down to visit him a week ago. He’s changed SO much since I last saw him and I wanted to cry thinking about how much I have missed with him. I really hate that my brother and I live 8 hours apart! Milo is such a good baby….very calm like my brother. I think he favors his mom a lot now….he’s really beautiful. I see parts of my brother in him as well though too….his facial expressions and those gorgeous, long lashes he has! And talk about some CHUB! Milo is such a chunkster now….I LOVE it! And I must say…he looks so handsome in the cap I brought back for him from Ireland. Now….on to the next subject….my brother is the biggest goofball ever…..I had the hardest time doing this session because he constantly cracks me up….it was so much fun though! He makes the craziest faces and poor Jana couldn’t keep a straight face at times. Don’t worry guys….I put the more tame ones on here but I have a few that you will get to see later that are just too funny and SO Sean I’m going to be posting more shots than I normally would on a blog post but that’s mainly because I know we have some family members who are anxiously awaiting some peeks at little Milo (Mom and Anne…are you stalking the blog?! HA!)

Anyways….Sean and Jana….thanks so much for letting me spend the day with you guys….I had a blast! And Milo is so darn beautiful….you guys really did good with that one! And you’re such great parents too. I love you.

I took some quick snapshots of my lovely sister-in-law, Cindy, and my hoot-of-a-brother-in-law, Kevin, on Sunday. They just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary! What a big milestone to cross. Kevin had me and Cindy cracking up the entire time….he kept whispering into her ear while I was trying to take their pictures….he still won’t tell me what he was saying to her….but I can only imagine! Cindy is my husband’s oldest sister……I have to tell ya….my husband and I are very blessed to have Cindy and Kevin in our lives. They are so good to us. And they love our children to pieces….what more can you ask for when it comes to family?

Can you tell what a character Kevin is?

But they ooze love for each other…..you can honestly see it everytime they look at each other….it’s sweet….

The Hart Family-Pensacola Child Family Photographer

Amanda — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:00:23 +0000

This morning, I had the pleasure of having a session with the Hart Family. We’ve known the Hart’s for a few years now….our kids have played t-ball together and our little girls are very good friends. Lottie had asked me if I could do a couple of quick shots of Miss Kaylin in her dance recital outfits….so I did. While I was at it….I got some shots of Zach and Wesley with their sister as well….it was a very quick photo session but fun….full of giggles. Wesley had us all cracking up when he tooted right in the middle of getting his picture taken….and then he kept doing it. I love the pictures I captured of the three of them together but I have to say….the ones I took right after he tooted….those are my faves…..the laughter that was captured is priceless…and so, so real. Love it. While I’m talking about the Hart kids….I just have to say….they are probably the 3 most polite children I have ever encountered….I know their parents have to be proud of that Here ya go Lottie….I hope you like them!

And….I saved my favorite shots of the kids for last….Wesley’s tootie escapades…..
