Hayden's 6-month Lemonade Stand session

Hayden's mommy and I put together a little retro-themed styled session for his 6-month photos: we decided on a lemonade stand theme! It worked out great and he looked super cute wearing his little newsboy hat :)


















Lilya's 2-month Session

Cute little Lilya had an awesome 2-month session recently. We got some awesome 3-generation photos too, while her grandma was still visiting. I had a great session with these beautiful ladies!

Layla's Newborn Session

Layla was my oldest newborn when I went to do her session at 16 days. I was a little nervous, because according to the universal Rules of Photographing Newborns ;) , newborn session are best done between 5-10 days after birth. Would she sleep, would she be fussy? Nope! She was a little doll. She stayed awake long enough to give me some sweet wide-eyed  shots, followed by one heck of a long, deep sleep. Thanks Layla!













ahhh look at that teeny baby smile... :)

"Southern Peach Wedding" Styled Shoot

A few months ago I joined a local Tampa Bay female photographer's group. There are different skill and experience levels, different areas of specialization, some doing photography full-time, some part-time, and some as a hobby. I never before thought I belonged in or should even consider, joining this type of group. I am SO glad I did!

The ladies that I've had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know have been wonderfully positive, encouraging, and supportive. We are able to exchange ideas, share knowledge, refer clients, set up styled shoots and have practice sessions with each other when meeting for coffee :) Here's one awesome recent project we got together for a few weeks ago.
