Mallory's Maternity Photo Session in Tampa - Sneak Peek

9/5/2021

Mallory and Dylan are having a baby! I know, that's pretty obvious here but I'm so happy for them. I've known Dylan and Mallory for something like 14 years and Dylan was actually the best man in my wedding. I've seen them through their entire relationship including this next step. I'm so honored to get to capture this very special time and I can't wait to meet their little girl next month. Besides, I couldn't ask for a more beautiful model to photograph. Seriously, Mallory told me right at the top of the shoot that she hates having her photo taken. You absolutely cannot tell in the results. She looks like she's done this whole photo shoot thing a million times.

Jasper's Newborn Photo Session in Lithia, FL - Sneak Peek

7/11/2021

When I arrived at little Jasper's house he was sleeping peacefully. However, that was all a trick. As I finished setting up he decided he needed to eat, pee, and poop twice. In all seriousness, once he was done with all the pooping he was a little angel. He slept peacefully for me even when the dog licked his face, which you can see below. He is such a sweet baby who in some ways reminds me of when my own sweet boy was little. I'm so glad I got to meet this family and document Jasper when he was just a little thing. Before they know it he'll be big.

Alice and Rose's Newborn Twin Photo Shoot in Tampa, FL - Sneak Peek

10/18/2020

Newborn twins snuggle together in the O of the word love made out of pale pink flowers

These little girls gave me a run for my money but don't twins always do that. Those of you who knew me when my twins were little probably remember me going around like a half asleep zombie. However, it does eventually get better and easier and that was definitely my experience photographing little Alice and Rose. At first Alice was sleeping like a dream but Rose was very angry with the whole idea. Then they switched. But eventually everything fell into place and these little girls finally decided to show me how cute their little faces look when they're not pouting. Every time I shoot twins it brings me back to when mine were little, there's nothing like two little babies snuggled up together.

Everly's Newborn Photo Session in Tampa, Florida - Sneak Peek

9/14/2020

Sleeping baby girl lies on her belly with her hands under her head

I met this little cutie this past weekend along with her mommy, daddy, and grandma and I haven't stopped looking at her photos since. Isn't she just adorable. Even though Everly did not much enjoy getting her photo taken you can't really tell. For most of the shoot Everly looked at me and at her mom but refused to go to sleep. Since she was pretty happy, I was happy to keep shooting. Then she fell asleep for a short while (during which I took many adorable photos). Then, She woke up MAD! After that she was really only happy if mom or dad was holding her which was great because it was time to take family photos anyway. Of course, as I walked out the door she was dozing again, isn't that just how babies are. Anyway, this little girl is super cute so enjoy a sneak peek of little Everly,

Emmy's one year Photo shoot at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs, FL

12/9/2019

Baby girl in

Emmy is One! Time flies, it feels like I just did her six month shoot! Of course, little Emmy decided to skip nap time on the day of our shoot so she wasn't in her best mood but we made do and still managed to get plenty of cute photos. Plus, you can't be mad at this little face even if she is crying while she eats her cake. Emmy, I'm looking forward to your birthday party, I can't believe how big you are now.

Anaisha's Newborn Photo session in Brandon, FL - Sneak Peek

2/18/2019

newborn baby girl in a tutu and sparkly headband lying on her tummy in Tampa, Fl

This little baby was not happy about having her photo taken. Even though Anaisha was born early at only 4lbs 9oz she already has a big personality. For those who know me, this may ring a bell with you about my own 4lb 8oz baby who also has a very big personality and thinks she runs the show. Luckily, we had grandma with the magic hands near by to calm this little lady down. Even with her not so cooperative mood, Anaisha was a total joy to work with, (I mean, look at those cheeks!) Really, her whole family was super sweet and I'm so glad I got to meet them. Welcome to the world little Anaisha, keep that spunky spirit.

Declan's First Birthday cake smash in Wesley Chapel, Fl - Sneak Peek

2/11/2019

Baby boy on a bright white background with cake icing all over

Happy Birthday Declan! I can't believe this guy is already turning one! And what a sweet boy he's turning out to be. He's all smiles until you put a camera in front of your face. All he wanted to do during his shoot is show off his skills pulling up to stand and crawling all over the place. I think he'll be walking soon and I can't wait to see him toddling around on those chunky legs of his.

Brenna's Newborn Photo Session in Tampa, FL - Sneak Peek

1/28/2019

Close up of newborn baby looking into camera wearing pastel flower headband. On a white background

Sweet little Brenna is here and her big sister couldn't be happier. I photographed the two of them in their home in Tampa, FL and they were so sweet. Brenna was feeling a little nervous about all this weird stuff going on around her so she decided to stay awake and keep an eye on things. Unfortunately, that meant that by the time I left she was pretty exhausted. When it was big sister Isla's turn to join her sister she was such a big girl. She did her best to follow all of my directions and give her best smile. I think Brenna is a lucky girl to have a big sister like Isla to look out for her.

Myla's 18 month milestone glitter Photo Session - Sneak Peek

1/21/2019

Baby girl looks at her confetti covered hands quizzically

My babies are getting so big! Myla is 18 months old now and Jameson and Hadley are five. It's so hard to believe. I've been wanting to try shooting some glitter portraits and decided that Myla's 18 month shoot was the perfect time for it since I love experimenting on my kids. Of course, once Jameson and Hadley found out what I was planning they decided they had to join in. This was such a fun shoot and all three kids really loved it. The only thing I didn't love was the clean up but for photos like these, I think it was worth it. The baby days go by so fast, and before I know it, Myla won't be a baby any more (cue the tears). But, at least I'll have plenty of photos of her little chubby cheeks.

Emmy's Newborn Photo Shoot in Wesley Chapel, FL - Sneak Peek

1/8/2019

Newborn baby girl with a big pink bow lies on a small wooden bed with a gray brick wall behind her

Sweet little Emmy is here! This little sweetie was so sleepy for her photos, she slept through almost the whole thing. But, just to make sure that I knew she didn't like it, she kept a grumpy face even when she was sleeping. Eventually though she relaxed and I got to see her sweet face without a scowl on. I've known Emmy's mom and dad for quite a few years and have photographed them a few times so it was so fun to be able to take photos of their very cute and very loved new baby girl.
