Tampa Childrens Photographer | Charlotte

Little Miss Charlotte is always so much fun.  I've unofficially adopted her as my niece because all I have is nephews.  Sigh.  

The last time I took Charlottes pics was when she turned one.  Now she's 18 months and she's all tomboy - a girl after my own heart.  She is hilarious and loves to dig in the dirt, pick up sticks, rocks - you name it - it's all fair game.

Thank you Kori and Chris for letting me photograph your little darling once again.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Skater Boy

Meet Noah, all 8 years of him.  He's mine and he's the epitome of 8 - skateboards, bicycles, video games and just plain old fun.  We invaded Ybor City early in the morning so we wouldn't have to compete with any foot traffic.

You know the shoot is going to go well when the very first image you get is this one.  And you may not know this, but children that have photographers as parents, really don't care all that much for taking pictures.  They are sick of the big black box, but somehow I am able to convince them once or twice a year that it isn't all that bad.  And when the convincing works, I am rewarded with stuff like this.

Here's something a little more urban. 

Noah did a great job today and it was nice to have some mommy and me time.  

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Happy 1st Birthday

I had the pleasure of photographing this little angel again - this time marking her first birthday. I hadn't seen her since she was three months old and she has gotten so big. It always amazes me how fast kids grow. Here's Mikayla, turning 1. Happy Birthday sweet girl.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Sneak Peek - Renick Family

I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful family this morning. They were on vacation at Gasparilla Island and since it's off season, the place was nearly deserted. We had a nice time and the weather was perfect. Here are a few from our session this morning. It was so hard to choose which ones to sneak peek because there are so many good ones. Thank you Renick family, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Little Miss Olive

Little Miss Olive arrived several weeks early. We barely got the maternity shots in and if we would have waited one more week, it would have been too late for those images.

I had the pleasure of meeting Olive today, she's so adorable and was very sweet for me. Her parents are in love with her as you can imagine. Here is a sneak peek from our session this morning.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Petite Trio

I added a new product to my line up, which I think will be a big seller. These lovely little prints come with three 5x5 images printed and mounted o metallic paper. Included are three 6" metal frames in either black, bronze or nickel finish. The reviews so far have been great.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Early Morning Maternity Session

Had a fabulous maternity session this morning. I had a really hard time choosing just a few images to post for the sneak peek because I wanted to post so many more.

Enjoy your sneak peek Rachel and Chris and thank you so much for letting me capture this time in your life. I can't wait to meet the new baby girl.

3x3 Accordian Brag Books

Isn't this adorable? I bought them for a client thank you gift and decided I'd throw a pic of it on the blog. This is a 3x3 accordian book that include 10 sides, 6 on the front and 4 on the back. I loved it and so did the client who received this sweet treat.

Collages and Storyboard

Collages and storyboards are very popular with my clients. It must be the draw of getting several images on a single picture, or maybe it's that they are more creative than a standard print. Here's a couple of my latest ones from a session last weekend.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Sneak Peek - Ford family

This was my third newborn session in 7 days. This little guy was wide awake when I got there, and stayed awake for most of the session. I was beginning to think I wouldn't get any shots with his eyes closed. He finally nodded off though.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Another gorgeous newborn baby

I had the opportunity to photograph two newborns last week and I have another this weekend. This little guy was perfect, he slept the entire time. His parent were so easy going, it was a lot of fun.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | 2009 Senior Spokesmodel

Meet Keith, a senior spokesmodel for Pepin Academy. We did his session yesterday at Channelside and had a blast. Here are some of my favs from his session.

Tampa Childrens Photographer | Baby Aurora - Sneak Peak

This is one of my Tiny Treasure babies, just 10 days old. She is adorable. Here's a sneak peek for mom, dad and the grandparents. Again, the hat is from Portland Beanie Company.
