Lana Williams Photography Blog | Panama City Beach Photographer bio picture

  • 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

Giggling is Contagious!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

I mentioned in my last post that I had the opportunity to photograph Kelli and Patrick for their engagement pics. Kelli has the most amazing blue eyes and even though I am a huge fan of black and white photos I have to put a couple color photos in the blog so you can see how pretty her eyes truly are. From the time we started the shoot these two were giggling like kids (I guess they are kids compared to my age). They were able to compose themselves for several non-giggling shots too that I love. The following photographs represent a good mixture from the shoot that day. Wishing Kelli and Patrick a long, happy & healthy life together!!

Katherine Switala - Wow! You are right, she does have beautiful blue eyes. I’m glad you included a color photo showing them off.

Sneak Peek from this Weekend….

Sunday, January 24, 2010

This weekend was maxed out!  Two photo shoots, had some friends over to our home for food & libations, AND had to clean debris from the back yard due to all the wind and rain we’ve been having.  I’m sure you can tell which of these three things I did not really want to do!  Below you will see a sneak peek of the two shoots, one of my beautiful friend Gina (WHO WOULD RATHER GO TO THE DENTIST THAN HAVE HER PICTURE TAKEN, BUT needed a new photo for her business card).  Next shoot is of  Ms. Kelli White (a friend and co-worker from C21), and her soon to be husband Patrick.  Patrick gave in to do the shoot, as he also is not a fan of  being in front of the camera (but we had so much fun).  There are very few photos of Kelli and Patrick where they are not giggling and I LOVE IT!  For the sneak peek I decided to go a different route, but there will be more to come soon…

THE Before & After Shoot!

Thursday, January 21, 2010

This past Monday was a Holiday, which normally means a day off from work, right? Well for me (and three other wonderful ladies) it meant time to work and play; but in the end what we had was a GREAT TIME!  Many of my blog followers know my FABULOUS hair stylist Renee.  We have calaborated to offer women the opportunity to have their hair, make-up, and photo shoot all happen at my new studio. I have opened a hair salon in the same building as my studio, which makes all of this possible (and convenient!).  Here are some “before and after” shots of Ashley and Laura.  THANK YOU BOTH for being such great sports, and believe me you are beautiful women BEFORE AND AFTER!

Alien Bees Have Invaded…and I LOVE THEM!

Saturday, January 16, 2010

For those of you that do not have a CLUE to what I am referring to, it is the most awesome lighting I have ever used. Not only is this lighting for studio use, but can be used for on location shoots as well. There are many photographers that only use Natural Light for their light source, and I TOTALLY respect that, but I like to use additional light myself , well at least most of the time I do. I am hoping to spend a lot more time with these lights in the next few weeks. Here are a few shots of the equipment itself and one of my favorite model, my husband Chan. (love those blue eyes!)

Here is one of the first of the test shots taken with the RingFlash…..just playing around at the studio. Not the greatest picture in the world by any means, but lack of shadowing behind us is so very cool!

 This is my favorite shot of the dozen that I took of Chan today…..

Siblings Having Fun Part II….

Sunday, January 10, 2010

You were given a sneak peek last week of the Corbin Siblings…now for the rest of the story. I must give you a little bit of information about these special people. They call me “Aunt Lana”, even though I’m not their biological aunt. Their father and I are 1st cousins, but more like brother and sister so I’ve been around each of them since they were born. Cierra is the oldest and started driving last year, where has the time gone? Cierra is sweet and innocent, at least that’s what I say, her siblings might tell a different story;-). Then there is Jenna, who just passed her driving permit test, she’s our ROCK STAR. Last, but of course not least, there is Chandler who is all boy! Dirt biking, four wheeling, backhoe king…you name it on the farm and he can operate it. I dearly love each of these kids and it was a lot of fun capturing them in pictures.
