New Pensacola Business: Cuts X CW

Everyone, you need to go see Colt and Cody Walden at their new barbershop in‪ ‎Pensacola‬: Cuts X CW.

I had the pleasure of photographing their shop last week and am truly impressed by their passion for their craft. Colt gave my a haircut after we were done with photos and I've been broadsided with compliments ever since.

Expecting in Pensacola: Philip and Kathryn's Pregnancy Photos

“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.” 
― Mark Twain

In the spirit of that quote, baby William is going to be the force multiplier in the joy that Kathryn and Philip's relationship showcases every day.

These photos, captured on family property in Alabama, were so much fun. In addition to becoming great friends, Philip and Kathryn have swiftly become my favorite subjects with their relentlessly creative and impeccably styled photo ideas. Their son, due in August, will be touched someday when he looks back and sees how much his parents anticipated his arrival.

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

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.
