Distance {Tampa Portrait Photographer}

11.20.12

I first had the pleasure of meeting this family from a mutual friend a few years back when I was looking for a maternity model. Jennifer answered my call and while she was awaiting the arrival of their daughter, I got to capture those memories. Sadly, it wasn’t much longer after Miss D was almost a year that the family moved 3+ hours away! I am truly blessed to have had them come all the way to get family photos taken. It meant the world and being able to play with not only 1 but 2 joyful children and capture this fun family!

A Little Bit Country {Tampa Family Photographer}

10.07.12

It’s likely no surprise to many of you that I’m a country girl at heart. When given the chance to theme a session either vintage or country… I will gladly jump on it. I was so excited to be contacted by this family for one of my casting calls (check them out if you are not familiar with them) and was simply tickled pink as we planned the session. I’m hoping to get a blog post from the mom who made it all happen with her awesome complimenting outfits for the whole family.

So many photographers will tell you they try to get images containing dad in them done first because most men don’t want to do portraits or they too might have a short attention span like the kids. Can I just commend this awesome father?!? I was so blessed to see how truly wonderful this dad interacted with the kids, ran silly circles (check out the last image) to get the kids to smile and simply let me torture him for just “one more” photo. I sincerely thank you because we need a lot more fathers like that when it comes to portraits!

Without further wait, please take  a look at this gorgeous family who roughed it through a pasture, lots of gnats and humidity that literally dripped from you (not to mention the fright I probably looked by the end of the session).

Color Me In Love {Anniversary Portrait Photographer}

08.10.12

Before my trip to New Mexico, my sister and I had been talking about some ideas for either their family session or couple session. I’m not sure how I came across it, but I did manage to come across some portraits done with Holi colors. For those that are not aware, Holi colors are used during the Holi Festival which is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus. We loved the colors and the carefree spirit that can be found by a quick google search and decided that we must try this. I believe the hardest part was coming across the colors and in quantities. They were all sold by weight…. and honestly not being familiar with powder by weight, I was a tad skeptical as to how much I’d need. After reviewing the photos, I think we had plenty. It was so hard keeping the nephew from wanting to join in. He did such a wonderful job of hanging back that at the end he finally succumb to temptation and had to play with it too!

Sorry in advance for the image heavy post! I just couldn’t decide!!!

He’s Home {OpLove Photographer}

08.03.12

As many of you know, I volunteer with Operation Love Reunited (OpLove). We photographers who volunteer with this organization get to be a part of such memorable moments. I had been talking to Nicole since February in regards to capturing the moment her husband comes home and sees his daughters once again. We had been going back and forth for about a week in regards to new updates as to when he was actually going to be coming home. You can imagine the complications that could arise when flights are delayed or mechanical issues need resolving in addition to 8+ hour time difference. I’m so glad that his flight was finally coming and I would actually be able to meet this adorable family.

We arrived about 30 minutes before his flight was to arrive and interacted with all three girls (mom and two little ones). The girls were great! They had so much energy for it being 10:00pm and the eldest had quite a few jokes that I had to go and share with my own friends! The most difficult part about homecomings is that when they come off the plane or shuttle, you really don’t know who to look for…. except this man was the exception! He got to fly with his K9 and only he was the one to come off the shuttle with one. icon biggrin Hes Home {OpLove Photographer} Man if only all of these were that easy! Anyways- without further wait, please enjoy this small sneak peek as I continue working on their session. I’m so blessed to have been a part of this moment.

Baby Bump {Clearwater Maternity Portraits)

07.04.11

I had a wonderful time with such an amazing family yesterday at the beach. It’s always great to be able to include the kids in maternity portraits especially when they are just as eager to welcome the newest addition. We had a great time exploring the park, playing in puddles, climbing on rocks and writing names in the sand. I cannot wait to see what is sure to be a very handsome little man come August. Thank you again Kristen for letting me capture this special time for you and your family!

Love {Clearwater Beach Portrait Photographer}

05.23.11

Today could not have been a better day for this beautiful couple’s portraits! We’ve been planning this session for several months now and today we had a fabulous time at a Clearwater Beach. I don’t get to the beach hardly ever unless it’s taking portraits. I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy beach sessions and with the weather finally warm, beach sessions are in full swing.

Congratulations to this wonderful couple and their 1 year anniversary!
