Ella's Newborn Session

I had such a blast with this sweet, laid back family last Fall when their baby girl Ella was born. Little Ella just wasn't having it when I tried to get her sleepy and in poses indoors, and instead she showed us that she's a true Florida girl by getting all nice and sleepy the second we took her outside! I was so happy to even capture a gorgeous little smile in one of our shots.

What a precious girl; congrats mom and dad!

Kim's Maternity Session

I feel funny posting Kim's maternity photos now, after already photographing the beautiful baby that was in that belly! But I have to share this lovely session we did in New Tampa, just 5 days before their little girl decided to make a bit of an early entrance :)

Congratulations to you both!

Breastfeeding Awareness session

I met with Nichole, owner and blogger at Mommy By Nurture for a breastfeeding session with her 9-month-old baby boy, to help support women who choose to breastfeed, and who should never feel ashamed or ridiculed by others for doing what nature intended, and feeding their child when necessary. Our location was the beautiful Lettuce Lake Park in north Tampa, and the products in our shoot include GlamourMom nursing tank, Spark of Amber necklace, and the
B-Jewel Inspiration purple teething necklace.

You can find Mommy By Nurture on Facebook and take part in her awesome baby and parenting advice, discussions, giveaways, and tons more :)

Layla's 1st Birthday

This cutie pie (can I just say, I wish my hair curled softly like that...*sigh*) just turned one, and I was there to photograph her special day with her mom and dad. She was quite a little ball of energy, and I was able to capture several different emotions during our session, which is always pretty adorable ;)

Happy 1st birthday little one! Wishing you all the best :)

beachy family session

I caught up with Ayden and his family for a little beach session a couple weeks ago. He had just turned five weeks :)  I had such a nice time with this awesome family, and can't wait to see Ayden for his 6-month session!
