First day of school | Tampa Children's photographer

Brooke's first day of Kindergarten was yesterday.  I seriously cannot believe that she is in Kindergarten.  Seems like yesterday I gave birth to that sweet little girl.  We found out a week ago who her teacher was and I have to say I was thrilled that she got one of the two Kindergarten teachers I used to work with when I taught at Roosevelt.  I took Brooke (and Payne) to "meet" her Monday morning.  She was happy to see 2 of her her former pre-k classmates in her class.  I was surprised to see some mutual friends show up with their kids as well.  Of course it had to be one of the nastiest days yesterday due to rain so getting pictures in the morning was quite difficult.  My lens just kept fogging up.  I got a few of her in the class with the teacher and then had to wait until after school to get some outside shots in front of the school sign.  We invited out neighbors along to start a tradition when school starts every year.  Payne was pretty good and watched everyone take their shots with the chalkboard.  When we were done, he said, "Payne do it."  He was so funny posing with the chalkboard.   Enjoy....

Baby A has arrived | Tampa newborn photographer

I | FACES WEEK 30 | PURPLE

Here's an oldy but a favorite of my daughter!  I knew I would use it for this weeks theme!  I got the idea of the picture in a polaroid  from a blog that I "stalk".  I "stalk"so many... so if I could remember I would definitely give it (the blog) credit!  Once you are done here... check out the other entries!

Another sweet image

As I am finishing up my editing of sweet baby B's pictures, I just had to share this one.  I am not big on B&W but this was one was so sweet.

Baby fever | Tampa newborn photographer

It's baby time... last week it was sweet baby G, today I got to meet beautiful baby B, and this week it will be baby A.  So, back in April I had the honor of photographing Miss A to mark her 1 year birthday.  Yesterday I got to meet her beautiful baby brother Mr. B.  The love she has for him is so adorable!  I spent a couple of hours at the house capturing the two of them.

Here is Miss A.  She had a fun time playing on the bed.



How stinkin cute is his room?  I was so in love with the mural above his bed.  His daddy is a big golfer.  I honestly can't believe that I didn't think of this for our son, Payne, who we named after Payne Stewart. So I had to get sweet baby B and the mural in a shot!



Enjoy these teasers until I can finish the rest of the gallery Karen!!!
