Tampa Maternity Photos – Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful…

I kept running that old commercial slogan through my head.  Yes, I’ll admit- that is how I felt in Dan and Giselle’s maternity portrait session.  But the truth is, Giselle is way too sweet to have anything but absolute love for her- and Dan LOVES her.  It was so cute and mushy!  She is so incredibly beautiful!  And she felt very comfortable in front of my camera.  I have discovered that many of my clients from South and Central America have a different respect for their bodies.  They embrace their bodies- no matter how tiny or curvy they are.  That is so nice to see.  Here are some of my faves from their maternity shoot:

I had to laugh when Dan first called to set up their maternity session.  He asked me, “You don’t really need me there…do you?”  HA!  Silly man!  YES!  I absolutely want you there!  This is your time to shine, too!  You are going to be a daddy for the first time- YES- I would love for you to be a part of this process.  So he brought his book, thinking he was going to get out of it.  Turns out he rocked the session…almost as much as Giselle!

I am so glad that I was able to capture your artwork of this special time in your life, Dan and Giselle.  I cannot wait to photograph your baby!

Special thanks to Lisa Ford of Invent Your Image for the amazing job on Giselle’s make-up!
