Family Portraits: Perdido Key Florida November 6, 2008

When Dieu contacted me she knew exactly what she was after:) Which is a GOOD THING ! She and her family were arrangnig a flight to Florida specifically to take beach family portraits. She knew exactly what she wanted and found it with me :) and BOY am I glad :) Her family is just gorgeous ! So here is the gang… Dieu, Michael, Michael, Michelle, and Madeline. I hear Madeline is having a birthday soon – So let me be the first to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

Our session was a really early one – 7am – and the fog was HORRIFIC that day – which is why the blue skies in the pics are all over the place…lol It was SUPER cold too… I always feel guilty when I get to waer a nice snuggly jacket and my clients have on THIN dresses…lol I hope you guys enjoyed the day in Pensacola/Orange Bach Alabama… Can’t wait to see you again !!!! I know you guys are using these for your x-mas cards this year – and I have one rule for that – YOU MUST SEND ME ONE !!!!!!! I love x-mas cards :)

One other thing before I start posing the pics… tom bought a new toy right before this session (which is good for Dieu and family….lol) He bought a fisheye lens – I know that might mean anything to you all…. but wait till you see the SUPER COOL pics :)

Here we go………………

I think this is my all time favorite using “the frame”… tom’s brilliant idea turned out SUPER NICE :) :) :)

OK… here is one with the fisheye lens – super cool huh? It reminds me of how small we really are in this big huge world :)

I LOVE THIS PIC – My fave from the day :) Taken by tom and “tweaked” by me :)

Dieu: We had a great time with you guys – hug the kids from me… Love you guys ! Jen+tom BarefootSnapshots.com

Family – Navarre Florida – Little Lane at the Beach ;-) September 25, 2008

Met up with Lane and his mom and dad for some beach portraits the other day… Monica’s dad owns a condo on Navarre Beach at The Pearl, so they were here for some R&R. I am not quite sure that they were able to rest much though.. Little Lane keeps them on their toes with all that running and racing he likes to do…lol Lane is a doll, give him a couple more years and he will be working it in front of the camera. I hope to see you guys next year !! Enjoy… Jen BarefootSnapshots.com
