Hi there faithful blog stalkers! No I have not fallen off the face of the earth- I have just fallen into the vortex of holiday photography madness- with portrait sessions, editing, ordering sessions,...
This portrait session was so fun! Not only was Bella a charm to photograph, but her mom and dad are hysterical and had me rolling. Kelly is the type of new mom that we all wish we could be- laid...
I love watching siblings interact- especially at a portrait session. Clearly every family member has his/her own personality and I love the task of trying to capture it while we all interact...
As you may know, the past couple months have been very challenging for my family. My Dad was in critical care in the ICU and the doctors were not too positive on the outcome of his condition. I am...
It seems like I have been photographing alot of precious little boys recently, so it was fitting that my first little girl in a while be as beautiful as Ava. Boy, is her daddy going to be in...
It's true. Little boys melt me, especially when they are as sweet with their mommies as the B. boys are! Maybe it is because I am the mommy of a little boy. Maybe it is because the children I am...
When it comes to sharing the love, the C. family has enough to go around ten times over. They are so in love with their baby girl, it makes me melt!I think it might be safe to say that Thea rules...
I LOVE when clients e-mail me pictures of their artwork hanging on their walls from our portrait sessions together. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! The L. Family really took my tag line "Be...
Don't you just wish sometimes that time stood still? As we all know, it does not- though I do wish that I could bottle up and put it under my pillow for safe keeping. It seems like just the other...
I have lived in Tampa since 1997, when I moved here for my college internship. I have lived in North Tampa and South Tampa and have photographed everywhere in between and the beaches. But I have...

Isn't that the coolest name? I LOVE it! This kiddo is destined for greatness- and stardom with a name like that, right?! What a beautiful family I had the opportunity to photograph in my South...
When Stokes' mommy and daddy walked into my studio with this little bundle of joy, I thought surely I must have written down his age incorrectly. There was no way this big guy was only 6 weeks...
One of the very incredible things about my job is that I get to see children grow. I get to see families grow. I get to capture and document all of these changes for families to forever keep...

There is definitely something in the water...or a full moon....because it seems like 90% of all my clients have recently given birth (OK...so I am exaggerating...but you get my point! ha!) Meet...
I love when clients decorate their home with artwork created in their portrait sessions. My philosophy is- you are going to decorate you home and pay for artwork anyway...so it should something...
That's what this portrait session was made of! Ava's 6 month portrait session was in my studio, so her mommy decided to take her one year session on location. We started early- because after...
On Cloud Nine - Dressed to the Nines - The Whole Nine Yards Today is a special day, one that won't occur again for 100 years. Today is September 9, 2009. To celebrate the uniqueness of today, Andi...
Part of creating a successful (and beautiful portrait) is wardrobe. While I stress to my clients not to be matchy-matchy, I do want you to coordinate (this does not mean white shirts and khakis or...
There is something so incredible about photographing newborns...their "freshness", their innocence, their flaky skin. I wonder how many full moons we have had recently because I have had so many...
