For the past year, I've been adding maternity gowns in a variety of colors and styles to my Client Closet. I want to provide Pensacola, Orange Beach, and surrounding areas the opportunity to have the perfect dress to show off the beauty of their pregnancy! 

Not only do these beautiful gowns fit a wide variety of body sizes and shapes ( I have dresses that fit sizes 4 - 24), they're just plain comfortable to wear!
I've received SUCH positive reviews that I'm looking to add more dresses in more sizes, styles, and colors so that every mom has the opportunity to be photographed in the dress that perfectly suits her.

This is an amazing new program that benefits both the client and the photographer!

I have a Wish List of fabulous, affordable Maternity Gowns that I would love to add to my collection.  How does that benefit you? I'm glad you asked!

​Click here to see the dresses on my Wish List.
Order the gown from my list that perfectly suits you.
Wear that gown during your Pensacola, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, etc Maternity Photography session with me, and afterwards, turn it and the receipt in to me for credit towards your session fee!
Any questions?

Another amazing thing about many of these dresses (especially the 3 pictured below - available mid-July) is that they also make a stunning addition to your Newborn Photography, Family Photography, or Breastfeeding photography session!

These sweet girls braved a chilly afternoon at the beach with me to get their mama some much anticipated, updated pictures! Our children grow up so fast that we have to grab a few minutes whenever we can to capture this moment in time.

By the way, I've gotta take a minute to say that I LOVED big sister's combat boots in these pictures! The little girls wanted bare feet, but big sis wanted to keep her super cool shoes on (who could blame her) and and LOVE that mom agreed! I'm all about letting your kids express a bit of their individuality in pictures - these girls even got to pick out their own necklaces to wear.

The majority of my Pensacola and Orange Beach clients know exactly where they want their family pictures taken - the beach, a park, or downtown Pensacola. But there are some who want something a little out of the ordinary, a little off the beaten path. Whether you are looking for a classic location for your Pensacola family photography or if you'd like something a bit more unique, I guarantee I can find the perfect spot for your session. 

This family wasn't interested in the more typical family beach photos. This family wanted something a little special.
This past summer, mom, Jessica and I had taken our kiddos to see Bamahenge and the Dinosaurs in the Woods about 25 minutes west of Pensacola. While we were brainstorming out-of-the-box ideas for their family portrait session, Jessica asked if I'd ever done a session at Bamahenge and if it would work. Until then, I hadn't even considered doing a family session there, but I LOVED it! And so our plan began.

Bamahenge was such a unique location for this fun family's portrait session!

The late afternoon sun gave us the most lovely light and the woods surrounding us were absolutely beautiful.

So never fear, whether you're looking for a more classic location or something off-the-beaten-path, I've got you!

Baby Plans and Birth Photography are my two favorite things to photograph. 
With Birth Photography I get to share a tiny part of the most important day of someone's life. And with Baby Plans I get to follow my clients from mom's Maternity Photography session, to baby's Premium Newborn Photography session, through a couple of milestone sessions, and wrap up the year documenting a Cake Smash and 12-month photography session!

Ben's Watch Me Grow Baby Plan started when his mommy's Maternity Session at 26 weeks and continued with his Premium Newborn Portrait session about 3 months later.
I photographed their Maternity session one late December evening on the dock in their neighborhood with a beautiful Pensacola sunset behind them. Ben's Newborn session took place in their home. I love being able to photograph in my client's homes. Everyone is more comfortable as no one has to pack up a 10-day-old baby and travel! Plus, I'm able to take pictures in the rooms they'll soon be hanging!

Ben's 4-month Milestone Photography session took place on the little bay-side beach in their lovely neighborhood. We were pushing bedtime that July evening and when he just couldn't hang anymore, I kept shooting and these are some of my favorite photographs out of all of their sessions!

Mom and dad requested Johnson's Beach (a part of the National Seashore) for Ben's 7-month Milestone Portrait session. Since this session took place in October, mom provided some super cute pumpkins for a few of the pictures.

We wrapped up Ben's first year where it all began - on the neighborhood bay-side beach.

Finally, we headed back inside for Ben's Mickey Mouse themed Cake Smash!

As far as I'm concerned, EVERY cake smash session should wrap up with a couple of photographs of baby in a tub getting cleaned up! And these clients have the most gorgeous bathtub I've ever seen! This is like bathtub goals for me. :)

If you're expecting, call me and let's pick the best Watch Me Grow Baby Plan for you!

The Williams family wanted something different for their three-generation family portrait session. This was their first family vacation with the new grand baby, and their first family vacation to Orange Beach. Mom/ Grandma, Christy, wanted a laid-back family photography session that focused on her daughter's new family, and her relationship with her children, son-in-law, and new granddaughter.

We headed over to Alabama Point in Orange Beach, AL just before sunset, I threw my favorite quilt in the sand, and then I just stepped back and let the magic happen!

When Kayla booked me as her photographer for my Bump to Baby photography package, she warned me that we probably wouldn't able to follow my "normal" timeline of maternity photography session between 30 and 34 weeks and newborn photography session about 7 days after baby's due date due to her past history of preeclampsia.
​She wasn't wrong.

Mom, Kayla, chose a gorgeous Chicaboo gown from my Client Closet in aqua for her Tarklin Bayou Preserve State Park Maternity photography session. We schedule her bump session for when she would be 30-weeks gestation and hoped.

The week after Kayla's Maternity session, she was officially put on hospital bed-rest in an attempt to keep her baby boy in as long as possible. The bed rest helped and about 3-weeks later, 6-weeks before his official "due-date" Jaxon decided it was time to join the world. After a little extra time in the hospital, Jaxon came home and I was able take his newborn portraits!

With a newborn photography session date of January 2nd (23 days before his due-date), Jaxon had the honor of being my first photography client of 2019. And this little peanut was a dream! It was very import to mom and dad that I capture plenty of family pictures as well as pictures of Jaxon with his doting big sister.

I don't know about you, but that quote rings very true to me. And I think it rings equally true for these clients! Extended family photography sessions aren't just for blood relatives - they're also for the family you chose for yourself. 
These ladies became friends in college, and now, over a decade later, they along with their significant others and children, gather together each year to celebrate their continued friendship. As someone who only sees her closest friends at most once a year, I was tickled that they wanted commemorate their vacation with a family photography session in front of their Gulf Shores condo.

We wrapped up the session with a picture of the four girls who started this whole thing.

I've been wanting to revamp my current Portrait Referral Program for quite some time, but I wasn't sure exactly what to offer. I wanted a new program that really reflects what my clients are looking for and would appreciate. Let's be honest, if the referral credit isn't worth it, you're not going to remember to make sure your friend lets me know YOU sent them my way.

The two most important things I want the updated referral program to do are
1.  benefit clients no matter what type of session they booked including birth photography and Watch Me Grow Baby Plans 
2. benefit my local Pensacola, Orange Beach, etc clients as well as my awesome vacation booking clients
I think this system will benefit everyone!

So, without further ado, my new and improved Client Referral Program:​

3 credits = 1 free 30 minute Mini Session with your choice of 5 digital images and print release (session must take place in Perdido Key or Southwest Pensacola)
5 credits = 1 free full Family, Newborn, or Maternity session of your choice (all normal session perks included)

The fine print:
*Your referral must be a new client of Finding Beauty in the Ordinary Photography and they must let me know that YOU referred them.
**Credits can accumulate over multiple years.
***You can choose to turn in your 5 credits into a gift card that you can give to someone. (Not available for 3 credit mini sessions.)

Please follow this link to sign up for your Christmas Mini Session Time Slot. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f49afab2da5f85-christmas1
NOTE: Time slots are denoted either BEACH or PARK.
Make sure you pick the location you want. After I receive your requested time slot, I’ll email your contract as well as the invoice for your session fee to the email address you signed up with.

I have known the Moore family for years... in fact, I've known Mrs. Moore since we were toddlers! Therefore, you can imagine how happy I was to have the opportunity to capture their family portraits on the beach at the Gulf State Park when they came down for an Orange Beach, AL vacation.

The last time I saw these kiddos, that handsome young man was still a baby! Now he's old enough to request I not "photoshop" his hair, and that beautiful young lady is a teenager.

Of course, when having family pictures taken, a picture of JUST mom and dad is a must in my book!
