  • Hello and THANK YOU for taking time out of YOUR busy life to look at the latest updates from Lana Williams Photography. PHOTOGRAPHY is my passion!! I Love, LoVe, LOVE taking photos of people like YOU, it makes my heart smile.

    My photography business is located in Panama City, Florida. I specialize in Newborn, Maternity and Boudoir Photography. I LOVE encouraging women to feel great about themselves and what better way than to dress up sexy and have photos taken! If you've ever wanted that "Special" photo for that certain someone, but didn't know who to ask, now you do!

    I also Love to shoot Beach Portraits here in the Florida Panhandle on our sugar white sand beaches and what can I say about engagement sessions, you guessed it, Love them too!

    Yes, I know, I have used the word "LOVE" a lot, but I do Love what I do and it's how I feel. I hope I can share my love for photography with you. Please subscribe to the RSS feed which will notify you when I have posted a new update on the blog. Lovin Life, Lana

Panama City Photography – Love

Happy Valentines Day!  Today is special, not just because it is Valentines Day, but it is also my husband’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Sweetie!  So what does Valentines Day mean to you?  For me it is a time to reflect on those people that I love most.  Yes, I know, we should not have to have a day set aside to make us do that, but none the less it does.  How many people out there just wish they had someone to love or loved them back?  When it’s all said and done, isn’t that what the majority of people want, to be LOVED!  One thing we know for sure is money cannot buy you love!  Love is what makes us want to get out of bed in the morning, love is what makes us smile, love is caring and sharing, LOVE JUST IS!  So, if you have not told your special someones that you Love them today, don’t let the day get away without letting them know you love them.  We are not promised tomorrow so take advantage of today!

With all of that said, I wanted to include this photo I took just today at my Panama City Photography Studio of my Dad standing next to an old window frame that he labored hours on for one of my clients.  The photos were taken of the Kradel Family right after Thanksgiving last year.  Susan saw one of my window frames, here at my studio, when she came in for her proofing and feel in love with it!  She choose her favorite 6 photos from the session and my Dad fixed up this frame for her photos.  She will display it on an easel at her home and will be an heirloom to pass on to her children one day.

Thank you Dad for all you do, you were my first Valentine and I’m still a Daddy’s Girl…..at 44,:-).

lana williams - Hey Kris, thank you so much for commenting! Love is what we all need most, isn’t it?

kris - Loved your blog about love! I would venture to say that almost everything we do is because we are needing love. Even if we are acting in not so nice a manner, its because we are needing love and maybe not feeling it..loved the frame that your dad made, it’s just beautiful! Because I love to do my own stuff, I am definately making one for me for pictures of those I love the mostest! Happy valentines day Lana!!

Panama City Newborn Photography – Baby Zachary

Here is a sneak peek of Newborn Baby Zachary, who was exactly 1 week old on Saturday when I photographed him.  He was such a bundle of joy, so sweet, and slept almost all the way through his Panama City Newborn Photography Session.  His Mom Nikki had called me a few weeks earlier wanting to plan for his arrival.  We chatted about when the best time to photograph him would be after he was born.  Newborn babies usually photograph best within the first 10 days after birth, especially if you are wanting to mold them into positions they were accustomed to in the womb.   Sometimes newborns do not want to go back into that position, but we always end up with some really great Newborn Photos that their moms LOVE.  After a little bit of planning we decided a week after he was born would work best and I think it was perfect, just like him!  Don’t you just want to take all of his sugar?!  I know I did…..:-)

Panama City Photographer – Anniversary Photography Session Downtown Panama City

Back in October I photographed Bobby and Gina Goree for their anniversary.  Since they were going to be giving some of their photos as Christmas presents, we decided it best not to blog about their session until after Christmas. Gina had been looking for a Panama City Photographer for a long time, because she didn’t want the standard studio portrait session.  She wanted it to be more exciting and meaningful!  It just so happened that her husband stopped by my Panama City Photography studio for a commercial fire inspection and put one of my business cards in his pocket.  After Gina had viewed my website she called wanting to set up a consultation to talk about doing a photo shoot for them.  She and I hit it off immediately and I knew exactly what type of photos I was going to take.  We set the date and time and had a fabulous time and shoot together!  Below is a note that I received from Gina after she received their “Anniversary Photo Album” that comes with the Anniversary Sessions.  I love getting notes like this!  I am so happy to be a Panama City Photographer helping people have a special captured moment in time, they can cherish for the rest of their lives!

Dear Lana, thank you for a wonderful, photo experience in Downtown Panama City! I shared my photo- book with friends and family and everyone wanted to view it at least twice.  My best friend even cried!  It’s a priceless treasure I will always cherish. 

Very Happy and Grateful,  Gina Goree

Last Panama City Beach Photo Session for 2011 – Panama City Photographer

A few days after Christmas was a gorgeous day to photograph on Panama City Beach!  What better way to end 2011 then to have a beach photo session for my good friend Karen Gibbs and her family.  Karen was fortunate to have all 3 of her beautiful daughters in Panama City Beach visiting and also her sweet and energetic mother Miss Dorothy, who by the way, has had 2 hip replacements in 2011 and looks about 15 years younger then her real age!  Of course the stars of the beach photo session were the adorable grand babies Gabe and Margot!

I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone that trusted me to photograph their families in 2011.  I am so thankful for all the friendships that were created and I am looking forward to all that 2012 has in store for Lana Williams Photography!
