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...
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...
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...
Meet Alexander and Conner. Bothers. Best Friends. Amigos. Wrestling Buddies. And pure sweetness!I can only image what kind of trouble these two cuties are going to get into together when they...
Drum roll please......the Baby Loves Disco image gallery is live and ready for viewing/ordering. Click here to see the image gallery. Special rates apply for the event. Through November...
I have the best job! I have loved working with children all of my life. In my life prior to being a photographer I was a Child Life Specialist working in pediatric hospitals. While I loved...
OK, so no...Tonya is not the octo-mom, but including her and her husband, her new baby girl, Hope, makes her the proud mommy of 6, so a family of 8 (that is one heck of a mini van, right?!) It was...
I had a sneaking suspicion that Boo Baby Boo, the Halloween themed Baby Loves Disco held at Wiskey North on Sunday was going to be a blast- and it definitely was! I was thrilled to be the event...
Holiday Mini photo sessions are back! You asked for it...so you got it! Perfect if you are a current client needing holiday cards OR if you are just wanting a little taste of custom portraiture with...
It does not get any sweeter that this little guy. Meet Mason, who just turned one. He and his family recently moved here from Raleigh, North Carolina and I was honored that they chose me to...
They came, they boogied, they had a ball. Oh, and the kids had fun, too! HA! Thank you to all of you who came out to Baby Loves Disco today at Wiskey North. What a great way to spend a Sunday...
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...
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...
I am excited and honored to announce that Andi Diamond Photography was chosen to be the exclusive photographer for Janie and Jack at International Plaza for their in-shop photography event! Just...
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...
Yep, so i did it. Actually, I did it a little while ago. OK, so actually Brittany helped me do it....but I did it! Andi Diamond Photography is on Facebook and you can become a fan by clicking...
Meet Beau and big sis' Olivia...oh- and his Mommy, Jamie, and Daddy, Paul (Funny how once kids come along, mommies and daddies are put on the back burner, right? ha!) Beau is one of the many...
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...
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). ...
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...
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...
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...
I am always honored when new clients choose Andi Diamond Photography to capture their art. Often times clients come as referrals from other clients (thanks guys! you know I LUV that!), so they...
It feels so good to post something good on my blog. After the last 2 weeks, little Miss Meara is the perfect way to get back on track with teaser images for my clients and blog stalkers! Newborns...
Yep....back from vacation. And I gotta tell ya'- I could use another week out there! We had such an amazing trip. We went to the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, and I would go back...
You asked for you....so you've got it! I am hosting another workshop on how to "Take Better Pictures of Your Children", Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 7pm in my South Tampa studio. We will cover...
or so they say! I have jokingly been called the Baby Whisperer by several clients before....but today I actually believed it! My "tricks" really worked because Tristan was a saint! A SAINT! He...

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. ...
After a couple re-schedules due to the beautiful Tampa rain, the K. Famly and I headed out for their family portrait session. I have been photographing Logan since he was just a little bump in...
You asked for it, so here ya' go! I have so many clients who are so good at preparing for the holiday rush, that a "Christmas in July" special seemed in order. It not only helps you, but it...

I have said it may times before, but 6-7 months of age is truly one of my favorite ages to photograph. The babies are so animated and excited. They are really becoming their own little...
I have often wondered what it would be like to have siblings. I inherited 3 stepbrothers in 8th grade, 2 of whom were already grown and out of the house and 1 of whom was my age and lived with my...
When Stephanie and Paul arrived at my studio for Oliver's session, I could not get over how much he has grown! And all of his hair. And how much of a "mini-me" he is of Paul! ha! And of...

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...
