precious good-bye's | niceville family photographer

This dear family is making the trek across the US that many of us military families do over the years. Before their sad departure, they wanted to remember their times at the beautiful beaches we have here. We met up at the beach during one of the busiest times - weddings, tourists, dinnertime, etc.
Once we found some parking and made our way to the beach, the beauty shined through. With little effort this family showed how truly in love they are are and how purely innocent childhood could be.

I had a lot of fun with you guys and wish you the best in your newest adventures that the Air Force has to offer.

How beautiful are these girls!? Mom and Dad, watch out! I think you are going to have your hands full in a couple of years.

What a beautiful family! I mean, really take a look at their eyes and their flawless skin and their beautifully naturally highlighted hair, and, I could just go on and on.

We couldn't have asked for better weather and the beach was just gorgeous!

This shoot was a long time in the making with military families moving, outfits on backorder, illnesses, daddy's being gone and so on but it was so worth it!



Good luck to you in your new adventures and I hope to meet up with your beautiful family sometime soon!

I ♥ Faces - Silhouettes

This photo was taken purely by accident but I love it! Mr. G. was having so much fun running and splashing in the waves that he didn't even notice that I was there with the camera - gotta love that! When I uploaded my pics when I got home, I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I love silhouettes!

Week 19 - May 18th - Special I ♥ Faces Blurb Book Contest Week

This by far has to be one of my favorite photos as there are so many memories associated with it! How can you top this many girls lined up in front of an Astin Martin all dressed up and ready for a night out. Bond Girls to the tee!

In reality it was 5AM and we were all exhausted and F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G!!! And then it was back to reality of kids, husbands and life after the brief early morning photo shoot!

I am submitting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb Book photo contest. I am granting I ♥ Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I ♥ Faces web sites.

I ♥ Faces - Week 18 - Laughter

I just can't help but laugh every time I see this picture. My little hoodlum decided to give me his silliest faces while up in the tree and I just love this one!

I ♥ Faces - Week 17 - Hats

When I heard about this week's theme - hats - I knew exactly the little kiddo that I wanted to show off. I mean look at those chubs and those eyelashes, and that beautiful baby skin and so on and so on! If you would like to see more great photos, head on over to I ♥ Faces.

seeing double

I was invited to attend the Emerald Coast Parents of Multiples annual Easter Party as their photographer. What a treat! I stood in awe as these amazing parents wrangled their children much like that of any others. They made it look so simple to have double the trouble. But what I realized is these parents get to experience double the smiles, double the sparkles in their kiddos eyes, double the laughs and double all of the happy giggles. What a joy!

These are only a few of the families and kiddo's that I photographed that day.
