Meet Ava and her mommy, Jocie, and daddy, Shane. Ava is 10 months old and on-the-go. So much so, that she actually started walking in my studio at her portrait session! What a great moment for me to be a part of! She is full of joy- and so are her parents! I always love when I click with my clients, and I really felt that way with Jocie and Shane!I am so glad to have met you, F. family! I am looking forward to Ava's 1 year portrait...

Life as I would imagine it in the F. household is full of smiles, games, hugs, kisses, and maybe even some mischief (ok, definitely some mischief!). So I would expect the same thing when...
I have been photographing Oliver since he was in his mommy's tummy- and now he is over a year old! (I also get to photograph his baby brother now, too!) Every time I see Oliver, I really want to...

Stokes has captivated me ever since his first portrait session at 6 weeks old. He was so big and so smiley, even at a very young age. Now that he is 6 months old, he is even more interactive,...
Seriously...I am jealous of a 1 year old's closet! Is that right? I am sure it is not, but this little girl has a wardrobe to die for (and considering all I wanted for Christmas was an entire new...
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...
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...
Have I mentioned how little boys melt my heart? (see previous diary entry!) Well, Cannon and Owen take the cake! (and despite being a devoted Nikon shooter, I think the name Cannon rocks! ...
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...
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...

I am beyond thrilled to be the exclusive photographer for the two biggest children's events in Tampa Bay! Baby Loves Disco! Let your Halloween costume out of the closet for another day, or just...
I LOVE what I do. I get to capture moments in time- and see children grow and change right before my lens. I have been photographing Riley and Lucas since they both were babies. ...
Shy, sweet, kind, quite, smart, beautiful. In the short time I spent with Bella, these are just a few of the words that I learned to describe her (Am I right at all, Alphonsine??) I am huge...
And that she is! Being the mom of a little boy, I don't really get to play the whole princess role. But I did yesterday- and it was so fun! I had suggested to Isabella's mom...

It is such a shame that little Miss Sophie is so shy and introverted.   You can tell that there is a great, big ole' personality in there...she's just not sure how to let it out!OK, so...
Oh, to be a kid again! The adorable faces, the sweet smiles, the silly grins...the fabulous clothes (compliments of D's Darling Designs!) I think little Miss Olivia had an "inner ham" that...
I am always flattered when people travel to come to a photo shot with me. Weslyn and her mom came all the way from Lake City on a very, very cold morning to have her images captured. Very...
As promised, here are some more images from the Cricle of Friends winter trip from last week. (My PC just does not like me very much so I had to wait until I got back home to my beloved MAC!...

There was something about Chloe that I simply adored! I think she reminded me a little bit of Ethan. A bit shy in new situations, sweet, calm and quite (though I am sure an innner wild child...
It's no secret that I love photographing 6 and 7 month olds! They are so animated and excited about their surroundings. And most of the time, they are not fast enough yet to run away from my...
Dear Diary, I am so glad that I met Diane of D's Darling Designs! She designs the most FABULOUS children's clothing! When I first saw her line, I immediately knew I wanted to work with...

So maybe I am the only photographer out there that feels this way...but photographing 2 and 3 years can be tricky (and I say this as the mother of a 2 year old!)Â They have their own little...
David, Daisy, Elise, Josh, and Jason...whew! I had such a good feeling at the H. home. It was a mix of happiness, familiarity (though it was our first meeting), and comfort. It's one of...

That's what kind of morning it was for little Mr. Trimble. He did not want both shoes on...or both shoes off! ha! So one on and one off is a great compromise, right? (Yes- it was a great...
So it is safe to say that I am not a morning person....but the same cannot be said of the "D." children! ha! Good thing I can fake it because these cuties had me on the go, go go (ok, it is safe...
I LOVE photographing the "C" family! I really do! They are always such a hoot! Charlie and Robin are so relaxed and "go with the flow". They really are hilarious and it is always so...

Welcome to my first post on my new blog! I am thrilled that the "M" brothers are my first "diary entry"! Meet Jack and Alex (or Lalex, as Ethan would say!) How beautiful are these...
OK, so to make this clear "I" do not think Ella is a diva....those are her mommy's words! In her cute southern accent, she told me "I have a diva on my hands, Andi". But I guess when you think about it, don't we all start off as divas? If getting a ton of attention, all of our every wants and needs taken care of by someone else, and constantly fawned over makes an adult a diva...then sure! I guess it is safe to say that most baby girls...
I got to spend the afternoon with the lovely Elinsky family and meet their newest addition! He is such cute little bundle of joy and I can tell that he will be getting a lot of love... especially...

Believe it or not, Sophia and Stokes (a few posts down), are the same age! But Sophia is a peanut compared to Stokes. So funny how babies can be so similar, but so completely different. This...
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...
I am so behind on my diary entries (but to my excuse- life has been too crazy the past few weeks. Fortunately my dad is doing much better. Things are slow going....but he is getting there). ...
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...
Isn't it the best feeling when you can feel the love in a family? Bailey is the youngest daughter and her big sisters just gush all over her. They are so excited to do everything they can do...
I just love photographing 6 month olds. They are starting to discover their own personalities and are just so yummy!! Gabe is one of those yummy babies. I could just gobble him up. He...

I am laughing as I write this diary entry because (as Catherine will attest to), we spent the first 15 minutes or so of this session drying off Catherine! ha! And she was just as cool as a...
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 Michael! Though he made his entry into the word with a little bit of a stubborn streak (would you say so, Barbara and Andrew?), I think his mommy and daddy quickly got over that and have embraced every second of their new baby boy! Michael also...

It was tenth grade, Child Care class at good ole' Cooper City High School when Laurie and I first met- and the friendship was instant. High school drama, college drama, grown up drama- we have seen...
I feel like I was just standing in my driveway (though it was 9 months ago already) when Vicky said, "I took the test.....and I passed". YIPPEE! The test of course was no ordinary math test. It...

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 meaningful and valuable- like your family and your children. I also love to decorate with canvases. They are such unique, beautiful pieces. Here are some images that Vicky took of her canvases that she recently ordered. They are displayed in her...

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 all....it is summer....in Florida! I was so thrilled that Ava's grandma came along for our session, too!And nothing beats a little girl in her tutu (from Smarty Pants!) I love Ava's range of emotions!As always, I adore working with you, Susan, and...
