A BRAND NEW ANGEL [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

Whew. This week has been unbelievably busy. I am looking forward to the weekend with my little ones splashing in the beach and listening to their laughter.

The highlight of my workweek was photographing this beauty. I had the pleasure of meeting little miss [C] this week. It was wonderful holding her, snuggling her, and gently swaying her to calm her on occasion :)

So peaceful.

[J] and [S], she is simply delightful.

I cannot wait to finish editing her session and show you more! I just couldn't make you wait through the weekend to see one :)

Have the most wonderful weekend everyone!

delightfully,

Monica

THE NEWNESS OF SPRING (part 1) [Monica Brown, Pensacola Newborn Photographer]

Isn't it just fitting that this little joy was born on the first day of spring?

this photo already looks [old]. I saw him yesterday and he already has TWICE the amount of hair!

this image gives me the warm fuzzies.

pure happiness.

deep down :)

I am going to pay for staying up "late" to blog, but how could I not? I already had to wait 4 whole days to download the images since we left directly from this session to go on vacation. It was driving me bonkers! I kept flipping through them on the back of my camera in anticipation of getting to see them LARGE on my screen.

It is going to take some serious restraint to not post every image.

part 2 coming soon :)

GETTING READY FOR BABY(part 1) [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

The weather this weekend was WONDERFUL! I really hope everyone had an opportunity to enjoy it. We were all outdoors almost the entire time.

Other than playing outside with Reagan and Luke and soaking in the sun and their laughter, my favorite thing this weekend was the maternity session for my sister and brother in law. They will become parents any day now!!!!

While they were getting ready for the shoot, I snapped a few pics of the nursery.

[I knew if I didn't edit them first, I would never do it since the session at Ft. Pickens was simply AMAZING.]

All ready for baby.

this simply beautiful bedding can be found at The Land of Nod.

almost done!

Dad's hero is Spidey. Glad he could make an appearance.

Soon, happy little noises will fill this space.

I can't wait.

8 POUNDS OF SUGAR [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

First of all, Congrats again [J] and [C]!!! Little miss [E] is simply delightful!

I broke in my brand new lens with this session. The natural light was just gorgeous streaming in the window illuminating beautiful little [E] as she slept the entire time!

I L O V E this image!! I couldn't decide which way I liked it best, so here they both are ;)

The hat that great grandma made was the perfect accessory.

A little angel sound asleep...

I don't even have the words for these images. I just love them all.

I have so much fun with families and little kids, but there is just something about a newborn shoot. It is a brand new life. A precious gift from God. The parents that cannot stop smiling.

I am so thankful for the families that allow me to capture moments for them. Moments that are fleeting. Little [E] is already a week and a half older... and probably a bit more awake now :) I can't wait to see her again!

BIG CHANGES ARE COMING!!! [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

WOW! There is a lot going on around here! First of all (drumroll please)...

I am changing the business name!!!

Brown photography studio is becoming

Monica Brown photography

I am in the process of changing my domain name and therefore website. So if you log on and one page says one name and another page says a different name, just know I'm in the back working on it! The current site will redirect to the new one once it's live. All of this computer stuff is over my head, so be patient.

All of these changes are coming about because of a fantastic workshop I attended this past weekend in Dallas. It was hosted by the fabulous Cheryl Muhr with guest speaker [and newborn photographer] Molly Hilton. I learned so very much that I can't wait to share in the form of style and products!!!!

Here are a few shots I got while there:

OH! This makes my heart go buh-bump, tha-thump!

[LOVE] the stance!

These kids were just TOO FUN!

You can totally tell they are brother and sisters!

She just STOLE my heart.

I had such a blast at the workshop while my dear husband kept the kids AND replaced our kitchen lights! Super Dad!

_______________________________________

Be on the lookout SOON for Christmas Sessions. Yes, you heard correctly! CHRISTMAS!!!! Where has the year gone?

I will (possibly) be doing mini sessions at the Beach as well as Downtown Pensacola. Shoot me an email...wait that will be down soon...comment below to let me know what you think!

OH MY BABY, LITTLE ONE [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

Be still my heart...

Wendy is a mommy.

Her dream of a baby to love has come true. She and [her] Jake are now a FAMILY. They have moved on from [couple]. After MUCH stress, the adoption is moving right along. And so are their happy lives...

I am a sucker for a soft image now...

Seemed only fitting for a photo of a soft kiss from mommy.

Jake is such a loving, patient, wonderful father. I guess after you wait that long to be called [daddy] the crying doesn't seem all that loud...

THE FIRST COYNE FAMILY PHOTO!

Wendy has been a mother at heart for so long. I cannot convey just how overjoyed I am to see her with HER daughter. She is an amazing mommy. So caring and gracious. So everything that a mother should be. You, my dear, are just simply amazing.

And of coarse, Granny and Papa. They too have waited. They have been parents to me throughout the years. More than an Aunt and Uncle. The closest of family. It thrills me to see them holding their first grandchild.

I have to thank Wendy and Jake for welcoming my brood into their home with a 4 week old. Reagan has one volume [LOUD] that I can sometimes quiet...and Luke has excited yells that I have no hope of ever controlling. We had so much fun meeting Miss Savannah! She is so very wonderful. And soooo little - Reagan's characterization of her :)

We will see you again soon! LOVE YOU ALL!!! Mwah!

delightfully,

Monica

LITTLE [L] [Monica Brown, Pensacola Photographer]

Thank you to the [G] family for allowing me into your home yesterday! I had soooo much fun photographing your newly expanded family ;)

You all may remember them from the Day Downtown shoot earlier this spring when little [L] was still growing in her mommy's tummy! She has since made her presence known in the [G] household!

I just LOVE newborn black & white photographs. They convey the peace of a new soul and the beauty of a wonderful creation.

This is sooooo my new business card!

I was so focused on [L]'s tiny hand that I didn't even notice her yawn until I edited!

I can see these two becoming the best of friends, just like my little ones.

[So formal...and so simple.]

This was a pose [J] wanted me to duplicate from a session when [G] was tiny. Crossing my fingers that I nailed it.

And Charlie!

He was fantastic for the entire shoot!

This is one of my favorites. I love how [G] is the center of attention, yet the entire family is in the photo.

oh, baby girl

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!
