The {S} Family | Tampa Photographer

Here are a couple of sneak peeks of my session with the {S} family. And how stunning were they! I love how all my clients dress... suited to their style and what they feel best in. It was a nice change to photograph a family in their "Sunday best". Thanks for a great time!

The {B} kids | Tampa children's photographer

I'm just giddy with excitement when I look at the photos from a session I did on Saturday morning with the {B} kids! They were perfect, followed directions and were so easy to work with. Their mom, Mary, and I met in 1994 at West Tampa Elementary. There was an opening at the school (which didn't happen often) in what I specialized in (Mary's old position) and I got it. Working there was one of my most favorite times. Mary ended up getting married and having kids and decided to stay home. I would occasionally see her here and there but it wasn't until last year that we ran into each other again. Our kids go to the same school. How about that?!?! Here are a few individual shots to share... saving the group shot for the Christmas card!

An impromptu photo shoot with Miss A this afternoon. Check out her eyes... so frickin' cool... different shades of brown!

The {O} boys | Tampa family photographer

I met this adorable family over at the art museum downtown Tampa. That venue lends for a great backdrop! Family you ask... yes I did take family shots, however, I didn't want to share any as they wanted one for their Christmas card and what if I picked out the one they liked... there would be no surprise... so I will share it later, or better yet pick a different one! Here are Mr. O and Mr. C. So stinkin' cute! And Mr. O's eyes... didn't touch them...they ARE that color! Bravo to the mom, Lori, with their selection of clothing! It was perfect!

A sneaky peeky for mom | Tampa Children's photographer

I have been given the opportunity to GIVE BACK to my daughter's school (and former workplace), Roosevelt Elementary, by taking B&W pictures of the students of the school for them to sell at the school auction. This past Thursday I took the picture of the {F} girls. While I edited a shot of the three of them... I just sat and stared at it! For some reason the photo (in B&W) just evoked emotion in me. Here are three sisters, very close in age, all a grade level apart and just looking at the picture... meeting them for the first time... I could just see their personalities. It has to be one of my favorite shots ever! So I had to let the mom know... and of course she wanted to see. How could she wait over a month? :) So I am giving her this sneak peek of the color version. Enjoy Miss K! You are truly blessed!

2nd annual TEA TIME

Look at these girls! We all met at Gymboree when they were around 6 months and have kept in touch since. I think it's great. We've survived birthday parties, a move for one (and now they are back), and younger brothers for all. Three of them 4 started Kindergarten this year... Miss L 1st grade. Even though only 2 attend the same school I am thrilled we have all kept in touch. Last year we all got together for a back to school tea and this year we decided to do it again and will try to do it every year. This year we had a new member join us... the ever so sweet Miss A. Here are some shots from today. I wish I can find the picture of the 4 of them on the bench that I took last year so we can see how they've grown.
