Happy Happy Birthday!

Short and sweet….I just wanted to say Happy 4th Birthday to my little man! I cannot believe how quickly you are growing up! Out of all of my children, you are certainly the most mischievous of the bunch and you definitely keep my on my toes….but I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time.
I love you Tommy. You bring light to everyone’s day.

It’s the little things-Pensacola FL Child Family Photographer

I came across some images of my son today….they were taken a couple months ago while he was out in our field….exploring….with his best friend, Woody….as usual. He drags Woody around on a daily basis and I love watching him do it. He has a true friendship with that doll and I dread when the time will come that he grows and changes and he trades in Woody for cars, iPods and girls. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching my children grow and change and become interested in new things…I do….but it’s also a very bittersweet thing to experience. My goal this year is to take the time to capture all the little things with my children….the things they love and the little moments when they don’t know I’m watching…..these are the things I remember most and the ones I feel are the most important to capture.

My Abe…..he has the biggest, most tender heart of any child I know…..

I had the pleasure of getting to photograph Baby girl K a couple weeks ago. She was just a beautiful baby. Although I have to say…she definitely gave me a run for my money….she wouldn’t sleep at all the entire time I was there That seems to happen more frequently the older a baby gets though….and Miss K was almost 3 weeks old when I photographed her. Baby K is the fourth baby for the M family and the THIRD girl….I know her parents were just thrilled to add her to their growing family.

M family….thanks for allowing me to capture a few newborn shots of your newest arrival! I can’t wait to see her again and do your family photographs in the Spring next year!

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!

They’ve got flare-Pensacola Family Child Photographer

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.

First Baby Girl-Pensacola Newborn Photographer

Amanda — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:06:19 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing little Brylee yesterday. She was just a beautiful baby. Beautiful skin….beautiful little features….sweet as could be….and she was my very first girl baby too! Brylee was a little older than most of the newborns I shoot. She was 3.5 weeks old and I typically try to make sure I do my newborn sessions before the babies hit the 2 week mark….as a rule, they are sleepier and curlier during that first 2 week period and definitely tolerate me messing with them a lot better. Considering Brylee’s age, she did very well. She didn’t really want to stay asleep for me for the majority of the session but she did finally fall asleep toward the end and I was able to capture some lovely shots of her. I wasn’t able to change her positioning too much as she stirred easily but I’m quite happy with the pictures I was able to get and I surely hope her parents love them. Thanks Mom, for letting me come by and play with her!

I’m starting a little something new here on the blog too….parents, if you get 15+ comments….you get a free 5×7!
