Creative Portraits: Annie in Henna

Depending on the day, the life of my mind is usually best described as resembling either a carnival funhouse or an all-hyena cast performing Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Photography is my tether and my release valve. Creativity keeps me sane. And I am blessed beyond measure to have a spouse who not only helps me hold back the crazy, but loves to create art with me.

Creative Headshots: David in Downtown Pensacola

David is a good buddy with whom I share a solid bromance. Marketing manager at Olive Baptist Church, he asked me for some headshots for his new website and personal branding, and we had a great time kicking around downtown on a Sunday afternoon.

Natural Light Portraits: Lana in the Forest

"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean."
- John Muir

I went back to my roots last weekend with a very simple shoot with a new collaborator, Lana.

I love shooting in natural light, and I am very pleased with the way these photos came out, with a variety of styles and moods. Lana did a great job of capturing the raw expressiveness I had hoped to capture with this project.

Expecting in Pensacola, FL: Philip and Kathryn

Philip and Kathryn's elegant baby announcement session in Pensacola, Florida.

A little over a year ago, Philip and Kathryn were married in a fairy tale wedding in an Irish castle. I was not the photographer for that gorgeous day, but I had the honor of capturing the photos to announce the birth of their first child, due this fall. This charming couple continue to evoke the idea of "fairy tale" with the beautiful theme they chose for their baby announcement.
