Another Secret Revealed….(Panama City FL Boudoir Photographer)

I have been dying to post these for the world to see how beautiful Stephanie is, not only on the outside, but on the inside too….You will LOVE her red hair! Gorgeous!!

We did not know each other before the shoot, but I feel like we have been friends for a long time.  You know how you just hit it off with some people?  Well that’s how it was with us.  She has the type of personality that makes you smile and want to be around her all the time!  When she arrived for the shoot she started telling me her husband called asking “where is my autographed football?”  She had snuck it out of the house for our secret boudoir shoot!  She had to make up a story that she was showing it to a co-worker and would bring it back home after work.  We laughed about it and said, “Yeah, he will be thrilled to see these pics and really find out where that football had gone, he he”.  Moral of story: Men, if something of yours is missing for a day, don’t worry about it too much, it’s probably at Lana Williams Photography being used in a photo shoot for you,;-).

Brian Slack - Thank you for the beautiful photographs of Stephanie. You took fantastic pictures of her, couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary gift. Thank you very much!! The only thing you could have done more of was take a couple of booty shots, haha.

Jenifer Smyczynski - Stephanie is my cousin and she’s gorgeous inside and out – she even put up with my bratty ways as a child! The photos are fabulous!

Stephanie - Thanks babe I’m glad you enjoyed the pics but I knew you would say something about wanting more booty shots – men :)

Thanks Jen & you were pretty tolerable with your “bratty ways”

Lana I can’t say enough about how much fun I had and how great the photos turned out. I’ve always been a firm believer in you can be beautiful and sexy no matter what your size but it has been easier to project that towards other people and not direct it on myself. I told you I’ve never felt I was very photogenic and I honestly couldn’t believe that was me in those pictures :)
Thanks for helping me remember to reflect the views I have for others towards myself and appreciate what my Momma (and Daddy) gave me!

Texan Cuties! (Panama City Beach Photographer)

Facebook has been so great with reconnecting with long lost friends!  For example, Cyndie and I knew each other back when we were teenagers, but after I married and moved away from Alabama, I lost touch with her and so many other friends from my teenage years.  That is all changing and I couldn’t be happier as I love catching up with old friends.  Not saying we’re old, it’s just been a while since we last saw each other,:-).  Once that we connected on Facebook Cyndie told me that her family, who now lives in Austin, visits our area beaches every year and she would love to have a lifestyle family shoot while here.  It was great seeing her, along with her husband and cutie pie of a daughter Erin!  AND even though they are Texans now, I bet there is still some “Roll Tide” blood there somewhere…

Sweet, Sweet Family! (Panama City Beach Photographer)

This family was so cute!  I hated that Casey was in a cast and felt bad to ask him to walk around on the beach for the shoot, but he assured me he felt fine. I think he was just being nice which I’m sure Casey was appreciative of. No, I didn’t mistype when I wrote Casey twice, they both are named Casey, so it made it easy to remember.:-)The boys, Conner and Wyatt were especially entertaining.  I LOVE the faces they would make for me, you’ll see some in this slideshow. Rounding out the family is little Josie, what a sugarplum she was.  Enjoy!

Delaney Family at the Beach/ (Panama City Beach Photographer)

I absolutely love it when I get a call wanting to know can I shoot a large family beach session!  This family was so easy to shoot and it was great having my friend and new assistant, Tara Platt along for this shoot.  I have put together a quick slideshow of Barb’s family at the beach, enjoy!
