The Front Steps Project

May 6, 2020

Andi Diamond Photography and #thefrontstepsproject

Shortly after the storm of COVID-19 came to be, I heard about a photographer out of Massachusetts doing something called #thefrontstepsproject. It was such an amazing and uplifting idea it inspired me and many other photographers to jump start this project in our communities. I had an overwhelming response from over 100 families who wanted to participate in the #thefrontstepsproject. In exchange for a 5 minute family portrait session, I asked the families to make a donation to Feeding Tampa Bay or the American Red Cross. I brought my long lens camera with me so I could easily maintain a safe distance. Most of the time I was taking shots from the street, inside my car! I encouraged families to get creative with props and posters and they did not disappoint! From rolls of toilet paper and cleaning supplies to posters of thank yous to our health care workers, each family portrait was so special.

The Tampa community is so wonderful! I’m so glad I was able to capture an uplifting moment in time for these families. Smiling and showing love during times of stress….from 15 feet away… made such a difference and I’m glad I could be apart of it. #thefrontstepsproject was togetherness at its finest. Thanks to all the families for your donations to the American Red Cross and Feeding Tampa Bay!

A Thrilling South Tampa Bar Mitzvah

July 25, 2019

What an unforgettable day for this family! I have photographed and watch Noah grow up since he was a toddler. It was such an amazing experience being able to document these special moments that I know he will cherish forever. I just adore these special moments of him just before the ceremony started. After the ceremony, friends and family met at the Renaissance to continue the celebration. This party laid out: custom sweatshirt for the guest with his initials on it, a cotton candy stand, a sweet DJ, all along with dancing and some games. I am certain he will never forget this day. The NFL theme was perfectly tied together with all the details that IM Events helped bring together. We even put his play of the logo on his Bar Mitzvah shoot album that we did at Plant Hight School. The album was a great memorabilia that he could have to look back on. The party was definitely a blast and there was never a dull moment. I’m so thankful that I got to experience this milestone in his life and look forward to shooting many more.

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Charity Photo Session

November 12, 2018

Aren’t charities wonderful? They provide society with the opportunity to make a change in this world! That’s why I was so honored to do a photoshoot for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which is my absolute favorite charity.

A group of friends hosted a bachelor/bachelorette-style event to raise funds for Team in Training, which is the fundraising arm of LLS that helps its participants to complete an endurance event, such as a marathon, triathlon, or center ride, while raising funds to help end blood cancers.

My husband and I met training for the Disney Marathon, and this charity has been incredibly special to us ever since! That’s one of the many reasons as to why I am so honored to support charities that are important to my clients. If you know someone suffering from a blood cancer, please reach out to LLS for support- it truly is an incredible organization.

Do you have a charity fundraiser that I could assist you with? If so, please get in touch with me today here at Andi Diamond Photography, so that I can see how I can be of assistance in supporting our local community as your portrait photographer in Tampa.

Usher and Gavin DeGraw Concert for The National Championship

February 28, 2017

Usher and Gavin DeGraw performed in celebration of the National Championship in our great city of Tampa. They put on a free concert at Curtis Hixon Park and braved some of Florida’s “chilly” weather- hence, the jackets! It was so much fun and they both are so very talented. Saturday Night Live comic Jay Pharaoh was also there making everyone laugh. It was a blast being able to be close to the stage and capture these images.

ESPN Party at the Playoff at the Kress Building in Downtown Tampa

February 23, 2017

Another day, another awesome opportunity shooting with College Football Playoff. This was an exclusive ESPN private party at the Kress Building for some of the who’s-who for ESPN and the National Championship. So exclusive we can’t show who all was there. (But, my boy Tim Tebow was there!) How amazing is this building and the decor? (Side note, as a Tampa wedding photographer, I was so intrigued by this historic wedding and event venue. I had never been in it before (nor had I ever even heard of it!). The rumor is that the father-daughter pair that owns the historic Kress block in downtown Tampa are embroiled in a legal dispute over an attempted sale of the property. Personally, I would love to see it get renovated so that Tampa brides and grooms could host some pretty incredible wedding there! Any buyers interested?
