and finally, dodie and some flowers

We were at our friends' house the other day showing previews to them from their session and as we were leaving, j. picked some flowers for us. They were too pretty to just let sit, so I took them and my most cooperative model, Dodie, out and did a few pictures. It was fun to do something else different!

...and now for something completely different...

I met up with my buddy Shawn of Gypsy Isle Photography in Pensacola who had arranged for us to have two models to do some beach sessions with. Check out her blog for her shots, too! Kappie and Summer were awesome (a far cry from dogs...although I did catch myself saying "stay" a lot). We had such fun with these two. They are both beautiful and so much fun! So, without further ado (I know you are anxious, Summer!) here are a few sneak peeks for you:

visit to the pug chateau

The Pugs and I got to take a trip to Florida to visit a couple of friends and their twelve dogs (eight Pugs and four Chihuahuas). It was so amazing...you'd never know there were sixteen dogs in the house (you know, including my four). All of the pugs pictured here are rescues...some with stories that broke my heart. And a couple of them stole my hearts, too! Especially a little boy who likes to steak shoes and chew things and a regal lady "in retirement" at the "Pug Chateau". So here are a few shots from our incredible trip. We were spoiled rotten while we were there and I think the Pugs were sad to come home! Thanks so much for the great time! Oh, and if you are looking for harnesses, collars, clothes or practically anything else for smaller dogs, please visit the Pug Chateau online!

beautiful mississippi weddding

I got to travel back "home" a few weeks ago to photograph my sweet friend's wedding. Katie is a photographer herself so the pressure was on! Just kidding, actually it was the most relaxing and fun wedding I've done in a while. But that could be because I got to see so many old friends! Anyway, here's a sneak peek of Katie and Chris's beautiful day:
