Tampa Bay Child and Family Photographer {A Baby Announcement}

This couple is absolutely amazing.  Not only are they extremely easy on the eyes, but their hearts are gold.  They will absolutely be the most wonderful parents.  Before our pregnancy announcement session, we talked about how the beautiful mama-to-be intended on using the images and some of the things she wanted incorporated into their session.  They were planning on using the images to share with their families and friends that they were expecting, so I had to keep it a secret and not post until they shared the news.  Also, she wanted some of the sunny haze and a little bit of a warm, vintage feel to the images. { Ahh, my kinda style! }  She planned for two outfits that were perfectly complimentary and we both brought plenty of props!  I think this is one of my favorite sessions to date.  Which is your favorite image?

Tampa Child and Family Photographer: {The Z Family}

Last week, I was able to meet up with the Z family for a family session on Clearwater Beach.  The skies tried to scare us away with some seriously daunting clouds.  However, the rain stayed away and allowed for a very sweet session. Please enjoy some shots from our recent family session.

Tampa Newborn Photographer: {Newborn Baby K}

Introducing.... Baby K!  A few weeks back, I had the honor of taking K's newborn pictures.  He wasn't really interested in sleeping, yet with his Mama's help, I was able to capture a few of his restful moments.  We tried out a few new props and even ventured outside for a couple shots.  I'm finding myself drawn to the lifestyle newborn images.  By this, I mean the tender images of daddy and mama holding the baby, looking down at their little miracle with loving eyes, and possibly stealing a kiss.  Here are a few image from our recent newborn session.

The miracle of newborn-ness never ceases to amaze me.  Congratulations D and S.  I enjoyed working with you both.  Welcome to our world, K!

Here are a few from a recent Mother's Day Mini Session.  The lighting was so beautiful as it shone through the trees and illuminated the golden-green grass and yellow field flowers.  Please enjoy :)

Baby W's Sweet Peek: Clearwater Largo St. Petersburg Newborn Photographer

This little boy just makes me smile.  His smile is so big and happy, isn't it?!!?!  I just love it.  Please enjoy a few of my favorites from Baby "W"'s Family Session.

Baby C's Sweet Peek: Clearwater Largo St. Petersburg Newborn Photographer

I had the recent pleasure of taking pictures of the beautiful baby "C."  She just turned 3 months old.  I could just eat up those cheeks!!  And her eyes?...They are too-good-to-be-true blue.  But best of all was her sweet temperament.  She let us do just about anything we wanted except put her down on her belly.  She was just content and sweet the whole session.  <3  Please enjoy "C's" Sweet Peek.

She's got a really cool big brother, too.  Big Brother "D" was such a trooper while Baby "C" was the star of the session.  He happily played with Daddy until it was his turn to shine.  I caught a few of him and Daddy enjoying some quality time, as well. :)

Baby Q's Sweet Peek: Clearwater Largo St. Petersburg Newborn Photographer

Baby "Q" is not so much a baby anymore...he just turned one.  But his reaction to peek a boo rivals a 6 month old...it is the CUTEST thing ever!!!  His little three-toothed smile could light up a room and the laughter could power a city!  Please enjoy Q's Sweet Peek from our recent family session.  I'd love to hear what you think :)
