ole miss.

Nothing says southern gentleman like a seersucker suit. Can you tell from the tie selection that these two are UM fans?? Blake and Amber made their way down from Mississippi to renew their vows in Orange Beach, AL. They were blessed with the most amazing sunset ceremony on the white sandy shores of the beach where they first met. Along for the ride was their precious baby boy Blake Adam.

I was in heaven with the beautiful beach and the beautiful children. I love the southern attire that you see on babies and little ones in the south. I swear, people from Alabama know how to do children.

Blake and Amber were so obviously in love it was a pleasure to photograph, but I didn't get many shots where they weren't kissing!

i heart baby boys

Little boys... can't get enough of them. I had the pleasure of doing a mini-session with this cutie. Carson is the youngest in the family and the only boy ~ his big sisters think they have a real live baby doll!

His Mom decorated the nursery in a circus theme and painted the cutest stripes on the wall. Actually, her close friends painted the nursery (myself included) during her "painting shower". What a cute idea for a baby shower 'huh?? Of course we had to get a few shots of the nursery - love it!!

me-yow!

Mabry was doing her best kitty-cat impression at Peyton's 4th birthday and I had to get some pictures. She was so striking with those piercing blue eyes and the brightly colored paint. Thanks to Klown Kapers for the amazing face paint artistry, be sure to call them for your next big event!!

sigh...

These two melt my heart. Actually, they are my heart.

I just ordered this image in a gallery wrap and I literally wanted to hug it when it came in. This picture is so representative of my boys relationship. Peyton will put up with his little brother's affection, while Palmer loves his brother to pieces.

My prayer is that they will continue to love each other as they grow up and stay best of friends into adulthood. Only time will tell...

*blue eyes*

Personally, I cannot resist a man with blue eyes. This little man will surely melt the ladies one day with his baby blues. And his name says it all... Beau.

It is amazing to me that Beau is a year old ~ it was just yesterday that I was doing maternity pictures with Karah and Ben. We had a great *early* morning together at Maclay Gardens getting these great shots... enjoy.

{preppy little dress}

I love when two things I adore come together ~ cute clothes and cute children!

Anyone who knows me knows that preppy is my middle name, so I was more than excited when I was given the opportunity to photograph sweet Abbie for the new Preppy Little Dress ad campaign.

The Preppy Little Dress is a new line of the most precious pillow case dresses designed by a local Tallahassee boutique owner. PLD is hosting a "sip & see" on September 19th at St. Peter's Northside Education Center, Taproots. Be sure to stop by, sip and shop as you browse the new collection - including holiday designs!!

Speaking of holidays... I am getting geared up for the busy holiday portrait season. I am so excited about the new holiday cards I will be offering - more on those to come!! Also, look for more information to come on outdoor Halloween sittings - oooh, scary! ~LP

tears of joy

I cannot explain how it feels when a client loves their pictures. There is no question that I love what I do, but it is more important to me that my clients love the images I capture. Over the weekend I delivered a canvas gallery wrap to a client who is also a dear friend. She had ordered a wrap of her son Pierce, and was totally overwhelmed when she saw the finished product. It truly touched me that she was so pleased, but with such a handsome son, my job was easy.
