Wow! Charlotte is one year old! A few months ago I photographed this sweet little baby when she came home from the NICU. It was so amazing to see her again and see just how much she has grown and changed. One thing that has stayed the same though is her sweet disposition and her big beautiful eyes. 

Well, the holiday season is coming to an end and its been a wild one at my house. But then, every day with a five month old and two four month olds is a wild one. I hope yours was great and I hope you were able to capture photos of lots of happy smiling faces. I know many of you were celebrating your first holiday as a married couple or your baby's first holiday. while you're recovering from the craziness of the holidays and hunkering down from the cold I know that scheduling a photography session is the last thing on your mind. But, before you know it spring will be here and with it, flowers. In my opinion, there is almost nothing more beautiful than a photo session in a field of wild flowers. Don't miss out on scheduling a spring session, the wildflowers won't last long. And now, I'm going to shamelessly show off my kids. 

I can't believe that my little girl is three months old already! She is such a happy baby and loves her big brother and sister so much. They've been great with her too! One of the most amazing parts of motherhood for me is watching my children develop their own relationships with each other and seeing how much they love each other. I've really enjoyed my maternity leave and having time to photograph my own little ones but I'm also so excited to get back to work. So, to celebrate getting back into the swing of things I'm offering mini sessions just in time for the holidays! I'm offering 45 minute sessions with 10-15 high resolution files for just $250. These sessions can be at any location. Book your session today because this offer only lasts until December 17th. If you want to use your mini session photos for christmas cards though I would recommend scheduling your session in November. Hope to see all of you soon. Now I'm going to show off my cute kids. 

Take a look at this cute little chunky baby! Little miss Isabel was just eight days old when I met her and she is just as sweet as can be. When I first arrived she was very alert and interested in everything that was going on. Especially the bright lights and my big camera. But eventually she just couldn't keep her eyes open and drifted off to sleep. She is such a good and calm baby so far and I hope she keeps it up. 

Happy second birthday Olivia!! Little Olivia's mom seriously knocked it out of the park with this rainbow dinosaur themed birthday party at Dinosaur World. Olivia and all of her friends had an absolute blast, there was plenty to do for kids of all ages and lots of yummy food to eat. Olivia even had a wardrobe change half-way through the party from an adorable dinosaur dress to an equally adorable shirt and tutu. 

I had the great honor of photographing this little beauty on Saturday. Her name is Claire, she's two weeks old, and she is such a cutie. Its always so fun to meet new babies and learn what they like and what they don't and get to capture their unique little selves. Claire wasn't the sleepiest little baby I've ever met but most of the time she was awake she was very calm and just wanted to look around and see what was happening. Towards the end of the session she let us know she was done and only wanted to be held by her mommy, I like a girl who speaks her mind. 

I cannot believe how big this boy is getting. I first met his family before he was born and I've been lucky enough to visit with him every three months since then. And now he's nine months old! He's always been a very agreeable baby and so smily. He wasn't very happy at the beginning of this session, he was a little bit hungry and the wind was blowing like crazy, but in the end he was the same happy boy he usually is. 

Welcome to the world little one! Little Brielle was born a bit early at 36 weeks and less than six pounds but she's not letting it slow her down. She's been growing by leaps and bounds everyday! She also has such a sweet little disposition, she was awake for some of her session but she was content to look around while I posed her. I'm not sure I've seen such a little baby smile so much! I hope she stays as sweet as she was on the day of her newborn photos. 

It was so much fun to meet and photograph the Silvares family. They were such a great group. We met at The University of Tampa which has such a beautiful campus that its quickly becoming one of my favorite locations to shoot. And can I just say that all three dogs were ridiculously well behaved especially for being surrounded by other people, squirrels, and cats. I'm so glad I was lucky enough to meet this relaxed and happy group while everyone was in one place.
