Krista and Chris are engaged!!! (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL)




Oh my goodness, this sweet couple was so much fun. Krista contacted me about photographing their engagement session. I am so glad it worked out that I could. Let me tell you, I have never seen a couple where love was just oozing out everywhere. It was so obvious they share a deep love. Even though we picked a cold day for the session we had a blast. I know they have a wonderful future ahead of them. I wish them the best of luck. Thank you, Krista and Chris for allowing me the honor of sharing in this special time. I hope I see you again in the future. I hope you enjoy your photographs. :-)

So happy to meet adorable "J" (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL)







I was so happy when Mom contacted me about a family session. I had the privilege of photographing the maternity session for them and was super excited to meet "J". Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. He is absolutely adorable. It was plain to see the love this family shares. I had such a great time with this wonderful family. I was very honored to be able to capture these special moments of this special family. Thank you Mom and Dad for allowing me to spend this time with you. I hope you enjoy your photos.

I can't believe "LK" is 6 months old. Member of "Watch Me Grow" plan (Anita Allen Photography, Pace FL)






Oh my goodness - how fast my babies are growing up. It is so hard to believe "LK" is 6 months old. We only have two more sessions in the "Watch Me Grow" plan. I am so happy to be this family's photographer because it sure would be hard not to see this precious family. But I know I will continue to see this family after the "Watch Me Grow" plan is complete and I am so glad. As you can tell, I get close to my clients. I love all my clients. They are the reason I love my job.

I was so excited today when "LK's" mom let me know that "LK" has two teeth coming in. I want to stay up-to-date with my clients/friends.

Mom and Dad, I hope you like your preview from your session. Thanks again for allowing me to capture the most precious time in "LK" life. Babies change so much and I feel very honored to be your chosen photographer to capture your moments to last a lifetime!!!

Precious "C" is here - member of our "Belly to Baby" plan (Anita Allen Photography, Pace, FL)






The long awaited "C" is here and she is just precious. I had such a great time playing dolls with this adorable one. She was really patient with me as I was able to capture some amazing imagines for mom and dad that will last a lifetime. I hope you will like them as much as I do.

God has truly blessed them with such a beautiful family. I had such a great time with them and look forward to spending more time with them as Little "C" is also a member of our "Watch Me Grow" plan. Can't wait to see her again. Can I say, "I love my job". :-)

"W" turned ONE (Anita Allen Photography, Pace Florida)















It is so hard to believe "W" has turned one. My goodness, I remember seeing him when he was just a few hours old. I have had the opportunity to watch him grow and change so much over the last year. And he has grown so much, seems like in just a blink of an eye. I feel very honored to have had the chance to photograph him several times and he has always been such a joy to be around. I look forward to seeing him and his sweet parents again soon. Take care of our little fellow.


Thank you for allowing me to capture such a special time in your lives :-)

Josh, the soldier (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL)


Tonight starts a long road for our family. Josh just left to go to his unit and is being mobilized, getting ready for deployment. He has training to go through, preparing him for the time ahead. We are suppose to be able to see him Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then it is on for deployment. Life will not be easy but knowing that our God is looking out for our boy will help get us through. Our God is greater than anything we will ever go through and all we have to do is rely on Him. As a parent, it was not easy seeing him pull out of the driveway tonight. But I have to place Josh in God's hands and believe that He will protect him. That and pray is all I can do. If you are reading this, please join in with our family and pray for Josh and his unit. We are looking forward to a safe return of all these soldiers to their families. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

Lori's Maternity Session, "Belly to Baby" (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL)






This amazing couple was a referral from a client of mine. When they came for their session we had never met. But we hit it off right away. I must say, "we had a great time". We ventured off to Pensacola beach.

It did not take long for me to realize how excited they are about the arrival of their little bundle of joy. They have waited for her for such a long time. I must admit, I was a little sadden when Lori told me that Eddie will be deploying not long after their sweet baby is born. But I know that Lori will be strong and handle this like a trooper. I could tell from the little time I spent with this couple that they love the Lord. He will help get them through this difficult time. Will it be easy? No, probably not. But they can look forward to the time when Eddie will come home to be with them again.

In the meantime, we will take pictures to send him. I am excited also that Lori and Eddie have taken advantage of my two new programs: Belly to Baby and Watch Me Grow. So we will get to have more great times together. I will get to watch little Carly grow over the next year and the years to come.

Thank you, Lori and Eddie for allowing me to capture such special moments in your life so that they can last a lifetime.

The "P" Family (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL family photographer)



I just couldn't resist posting these two images because it shows what it is like to photograph your family. Since the moments these babies have been in the world there have been cameras in their faces. Now today, this is what they think of seeing a camera!!!! We had a great time laughing. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO? CRYING WOULD NOT HELP!!!







This family is very precious to me. This is my daughter, - Crystal, her husband - Wayne and their two precious sons - my grandsons - Jacob and Grant. Even though we struggled with taking these because Jacob and Grant - especially Jacob - hates to see a camera, I was still able to capture some good ones. Enjoy!!!

3 month old "LK"member of "Watch Me Grow" (Anita Allen Photography Pace, FL)







Precious Little "LK" was so much fun today. She is such a doll that we had to play "dress up". Mom came really prepared and we had a blast. LK did not know what to think of all this. She was just amazed at everything. She kept looking around. I think she was looking for her daddy. I hear she is a daddy's girl and I would just bet she has her daddy wrapped around her little finger. I know he wanted to be here today so I really hopes he enjoys the pictures of his little angel.

LK is a member of my "Watch Me Grow" plan. So I am so excited to see the changes in her during her first year. This was her three month photo session. We will meet again in November for her six month session. We are planning Christmas pictures for then also.

Mom and Dad, thank you for sharing your precious little one with me today. Thank you also for allowing Anita Allen Photography to capture the memories of such a special little girl.
