Family Photography Session in Tampa – Life with Little Boys

June 17, 2010

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 photographing 3 brothers under the age of 4. My little boy just turned 4 and I know what that entails- so I have to admit, I said a little prayer before I headed out to the University of Tampa in downtown South Tampa that day for my portrait session with Simon, Graham, and Luke. I took a deep breath, put on my game face, and went to work. As it turns out, I did not even need to rally because the boys were a cake walk- they really were! Whew! (I sighed a huge relief! ha!). Check out their portrait session and you will see what I mean:

On a side note, calling all Mommies-to-be! Check out “Showering Mom and Baby with Comfort” hosted by Pottery Barn Kids in Hyde Park (804 South Village Circle, Tampa, FL 33606) this Saturday, June 19th at 8:30am. Learn the essentials for a comfortable nursery, a comfortable baby: the top ten essentials for baby, a comfortable mom, exercise and relaxation, and comfort food for baby with a special homemade baby food demonstration. Some fab vendors will be there including Andi Diamond Photography (with some gift certificates for complimentary portrait sessions!). Hope to see you there!

Tampa Children Photographer Captures Beautiful Children

October 25, 2009

Lots of blog posts to catch up on- weddings, infants, families, and holiday mini sessions. Here is just a glimpse of some of the great photography sessions I have had the pleasure of photographing recently. Amazingly beautiful children! Seriously beautiful! These kiddos melt my heart! And to hear some of the things that they say……oh I could write a book! Ha! Actually I feel that way every day with Ethan. But do I write it down? Nope! I know I should! On a side note, quick reminder that holiday mini sessions end November 6. Call ASAP to schedule any upcoming sessions as I only have a couple openings in the next 4 weeks. Another side note, thanks to everyone who came to Fit and Fab at my studio on Saturday. It was so much fun, super educational, and very inspiring. Special thanks to Lisa Ford of Invent Your Image and Natalie Johnson of Stroller Strides and Fit Chics for sharing their expertise! We are going to have another workshop in February!

Commercial Headshots for Natalie Johnson of Stroller Strides

August 18, 2009

Look out Jillian from The Biggest Loser…..meet Natalie Johnson! If you are a frequent blog stalker, you may recall a previous post where I first introduced Natalie. Well, I finally got her behind my lens as she needed some images for her website and some commercial marketing pieces. Natalie is the owner of Stroller Strides and Fit Chics, and a complete fitness inspiration! Her classes are geared towards moms and their kids, and towards helping moms get in shape through motivation and group classes….with your babies! Brilliant! And let’s face it……when you see this girl, she really makes you want to do some sit-ups….and push-ups…. ha! headshots-tampa-photography-3 headshots-tampa-photography-4 headshots-tampa-photography-5 Also, Natalie recently published an article on fitness while pregnant! Click here to download it and read it! Good stuff for all my maternity clients! Make sure to check out some of Natalie’s classes and tell her Andi Diamond Photography sent you! All of my Bebe’ Couture clients receive a gift certificate from me to Stroller Strides…..so go to work, ladies!

Commercial Headshots for Dr. Jan Cornelius!

I am a teeth person. Does that sound funny? Well, I am! I always have been. It is one of the first things I notice on a person. And Dr. Jan Cornelius has NICE TEETH! Jan came to me for commercial headshots (images for her website, marketing materials, etc.). Here is one of my faves: headshots-tampa-photography-1 So if you are in need of a great dentist, visit Dr. Jan Cornelius in South Tampa at the Dental Implant Center!

Adding a New Member to Our Tampa Photography Team!

August 9, 2009

I am so excited to introduce you to the newest member of Andi Diamond Photography….Brittany! Brittany has actually been with me for a few months now, but we finally got around to her “initiation” photo session! I am so thrilled to have Brittany on board! She is a recent USF grad and I was so impressed with her resume…and her personality! As a young grad, she has excelled in school not only with her grades, but as the president of the American Marketing Association. While she was president, her chapter was selected in the top two in the nation in New Orleans! She was also selected by Loreal (out of 2000 applicants), to attend their branding and marketing management workshop in New York City! She will be helping me with my PR, marketing, and special events! On top of it all, she is also an accomplished dancer. (Don’t ask me how I got so lucky?! I am still trying to figure it out! ha!) Here are some of my faves from her session: tampa-fashion-photography I have an incredible new space to shoot in- I love all of the concrete and exposed metal, and the awesome light and shadows! I will be photographing a lot of my high school senior sessions here! tampa-fashion-photography-3 tampa-fashion-photography-2 Love the yummy back-lighting here! tampa-fashion-photography-4 And I will finish with Brittany’s favorite! tampa-fashion-photography-1 SO HAPPY to have you on board, Brittany!
