Holiday Sessions 2021 are HERE!!!

Holiday Sessions 2021 are finally here and ready for registration!!!!  I am so excited to finally bring you the TGP Holiday Experience!  This years set, like all years, sparkles with just enough holiday to celebrate and yet still keeps the focus on your family and kids. 

About the set

The set is designed to go with all clothing choices and is for families (one family per registration) or just the kiddo’s!  These session make family holiday sessions EASY!  QUICK in and out but still with more than enough time for updated holiday photos. NO choosing of clothes based on set colors. All colors look great! Even dads love them because they are in a nice cool studio and there are snacks and drinks for everyone. 

The photos are just for example there will be more details added to this set for a final production.

What is special this year

This year will be the first year that you can add The Santa Experience.  Last year was a trail run with Santa and it was such a hit that we brought it back and we are giving it a few more bonuses to help create a real “experience” for the children to celebrate with Santa.  If you choose to add The Santa Experience (highly recommended based on last years results) you will receive a bonus questionnaire for Santa to have so that he can have real interaction with your child about their pets at home, their Elf on the Shelf and some other fun things to chat about. 

There will  be a gift from Santa for your child to open and a few other surprises also!  This will truly be a magical experience for your child.  It will not be a rushed 2 minutes in the mall with crowds all around and an impersonal experience with Santa.  This will be a time to remember and it will all be captured in portraits for you to cherish forever!

Newborn Pictures in a Beautiful Album

As one of the most popular photographers for newborn pictures in the Tampa Bay area I am happy to “stand out” from the crowd by providing a “luxury” full service experiences for my families. 

Digital vs Album

I know, I know, digital files are “all that” right?  At least that’s what some people think until they are educated otherwise.  Don’t get me wrong, I love digital files also but it is such a shame that those beautiful pictures given to you on a thumb drive or through a download, live on computers and phones and rarely make it to a photo album (besides maybe a small photo for “grandma”).  Families spend time and energy (and let’s face it, as easy as I try to make it for you, it is still some work) to create these beautiful images and capture memories together and there they sit on a phone.  All that investment in time and money fits in the palm of your hand.  Sad….. 

HOWEVER, it doesn’t have to be that way!  I can provide you with SOOOOO much more!  Beautiful hand crafted albums (also known as the the modern day baby book!) and wall art that you will enjoy each day reminding you of the love your family shares.  NONE of this will be smaller than your phone…. and let’s face it, for such an important investment…. it shouldn’t fit there where no one can see it or enjoy it unless you open up “your photos”.  

Take an inside peak at “real” albums and other printed products that have now found their home and are proudly displayed and enjoyed by mom and dad (and baby when as he grows) everyday.  These products make a house a “home” and I think they would tell you that these items will be one of the first things they grab if they need to leave their home quickly! Why?  Because they are invaluable and they bring them so much joy!

Heirloom Album

These beautiful albums comes with a LIFETIME Guarantee!  Look at these AMAZING newborn images and beautifully displayed they are in the album.  This will ALL be DONE for you!  The final album will be delivered ready to ENJOY!  More time you can spend with that sweet baby!

Wall Art

From the beginnings stages at the design appointment to the final install…. YES…. this is also done for you by ME!  No arguing with hubby about getting it hung or struggling over the placement and centering! :). 

STEP ONE– Computerized example created in the studio at your design appointment

STEP TWO– Final install done by me or my assistant (or both of us :))

Expectations from Sibling at Newborn Session

Expectations from sibling at the newborn session!

I was so excited to see this sweet family back at the studio with their SECOND baby in less than 2 years!  It makes my heart so happy to have families return to me. And, to capture such a special time and being able to see their now “oldest” grow and see how sibling interacts with the newborn bay is always so much fun.  

Anytime families schedule a session with a baby and sibling it is important that we have a chat before their session about expectations for the older sibling and of course the baby.  Any of my families that have had sibling newborn sessions with me know that it can be a bit of a circus getting those precious images. But they are SO worth it!  But that’s for a whole other blog post! 🙂 

This particular little guy was a little bit afraid of his new baby.  He was interested from a distance but did not have ANY interest in even sitting next to him.  I have several tricks that almost always work but this little guy didn’t fall for ANY of them! LOL!  He was MUCH smarter than me! So- on the VERY rare occasion that I have a little one that won’t even go near his/her new baby we use photoshop! :). sibling-newborn-session-tgp-4

Expectations from Sibling at Newborn photo session Expectations from Sibling at Newborn photo session Expectations from Sibling at Newborn photo session

When all else fails

I LOVE that mom and dad can have their first professional pictures done and have pictures of BOTH of their “babies” in the same frame.  This doesn’t happen often (most of the time my “tricks of the trade” work but when all else fails I can resort to photoshop.  

It is always best to do sibling and family first then the older siblings can leave with dad or another family member.  

Then its time for “just baby”.  This little one was born right before Christmas so we had to include a holiday image for him.  He looks so sweet in this little Santa hat.  

But most importantly getting those traditional newborn images is what makes mommy’s heart sing!  These pictures will be cherished forever and these babies will love looking at their printed images in their home for many years to come!

Simple Holiday Sessions 2020

Holiday Sessions with and without Santa

WOW what an awesome weekend full of limited edition holiday sessions with and without Santa in the studio!  The kids were AWESOME and the families were also.  I absolutely LOVE seeing my families every year and watching them grow. And meeting new ones also!  These families are so lucky to have holiday memories every year to look back on. 

Santa was a BIG hit and I secretly think all future holiday sessions will be offered with or without Santa each year.  It was SO special to see the children be able to interact with Santa for more than just the standard 1 minute at the mall.  He was able to talk to them, look at a book with them and then give them a special gift.  The kids were SO excited and even the little ones that were unsure were able to have a few minutes to warm up. We were able to sneak in some tricks to still be able to capture the moment.  

These holiday sessions were SO POPULAR this year that I am opening up another short day of them on December 12th.  It will be a VERY quick turn for your images so that you have plenty of time to get out cards and holiday gifts.  There will be limited time slots open so make sure to click HERE to read more information and register. 

Here are just a few of the families that joined us this year for Simple Holiday Sessions 2020. Many families want to wait for sharing until holiday cards are out but I can’t wait to share those also at a later date!

baby's first birthday

Celebrating baby’s first birthday during a pandemic

WOW!  It has been a long haul with no end in sight!  Knowing that everyone has their own struggles through this and I am far from alone!  I have watched many others “seem” to thrive with the lack of schedule, extra time and a shift in priorities.  I am not one of them.  I had GREAT intentions! LOL!  But they never quite panned out.  I totally lost focus.  I am not sad or depressed just all over the place!  No clear plan, no clear focus.  I realized that even though my kids are older (13 and 17… both celebrating pandemic birthdays) when they didn’t go back to school after spring break I could never get my groove back!  For example, no summer camps, canceled vacations, birthday celebrations changed, NO SCHEDULE!   

So…. here we are, feeling like this sweet little one! We celebrated her first birthday at the studio during the pandemic but even with a mask it didn’t stop me from loving every minute of it!

What happened next?   

Yesterday my youngest went to sailing camp!  YES!!!  It was like the first normal day we have had since quarantine.  My daughter was out for the day.  She was doing productive and fun things and I felt like…. NORMAL!  I got things done, was motivated, working and staying off social media.   It made me realize how much the kids being home and off schedule has effected me.  I thought because my kids were older it would be easier.  ALL THE COMPASSION for moms at home with younger kids!!!! But I was wrong…. It was hard for me also.  Harder than I realized. 

Once I had some quiet time I was focused.  Just like this sweet baby.  She had the BEST time celebrating her pandemic birthday.  She wore a sweet little outfit from Lily and Max and the elegant cake was beautifully created by Sugar & Bliss . It was so yummy, that mom and dad took home the the remaining parts to take home and eat!  This family is (was) a member of the New Beginnings Plan and we are in the final stages of designing her first year album!  I can not wait to share it with you!!! 

Love this session?

No matter if we celebrate in the studio with a pandemic birthday or a newborn session, we would LOVE to chat with you about it and how special it is!

 

Safety Precautions for Covid-19

Safety Precautions for Covid-19

I want you to know that we take the health of our families very seriously.  We are taking all precautions possible to make sure the studio is safe from Covid-19 for all families.  Here are just a few of the things we will be doing to ensure safety for our families …

Communication

covid-19 safety

We will communicate before your session about your feelings moving forward with scheduling.  We will talk about the below safety precautions in the studio or on location.  I will confirm that no one participating in the session as had any viral symptoms in the last 14 days.  Upon entering the studio, each family will be asked to sign a form that says they have not had any symptoms of Covid 19.

Hand Washing

The Importance Of Global Handwashing Day

 Upon entering the studio all family members will be asked to wash their hands.  There will also be hand sanitizer readily available to be used at anytime during the session.  I will also be washing my hands thoroughly before, during (if needed) and after each session.

Masks

covid-19 safety

You are welcome to bring your own masks but Tracy will have them also.  She will be happy to wear one during your session if you prefer.  She will also have them available for you if you prefer to wear them.

Gloves

Clip Art Medical Gloves Clipart

Disposable gloves will also be available.  Tracy will happy to wear them if you prefer.  You will also be welcome to use them if you prefer.

 

Shoes

Library of kid putting shoes away vector royalty free download png ...

You will be asked to remove your shoes while in the studio.  If you will be wearing them for your session, you will put them on to wear in the shooting area and then asked to remove them for the other areas of the studio.  The floors will be disinfected after each session.

Family and session frequency

Safety Precautions for Covid-19

Until further notice, only immediate family members will be allowed in the studio.  Only those participating in the session.  ALSO-  for now, sessions will be scheduled every 3 days.  Although the studio will be disinfected thoroughly after each session this will ensure an extra measure of precaution.

Studio Cleaning

covid-19 safety

 After each session the studio will be disinfected with medical grade disinfectant and all wraps, props or wardrobe clothes borrowed will be washed and disinfected.

 

I hope all of these precautions will help you feel safe and comfortable before, during and after your session.  If you still have concerns and would like to chat about covid-19 or anything with Tracy you are welcome to reach out.  She is happy to address your concerns and reschedule or postpone your session if you are more comfortable doing so. 

A peek inside a session with Tracy Gabbard Photography

Peek Inside TGP

I am so excited to share a real sneak peek inside a session with ME at the Tracy Gabbard Photography studio! It showcases what the real experience when you choose Tracy to capture the most important time in your life.  Wether a new baby, a milestone session or a family session Tracy strives to give you not only custom created albums and wall art that will last a life time BUT ALSO an amazing experience.  She wants you to walk away with your heart full and with your home full of the joy of your family.   It took many hours of hard work, a WONDERFUL family and a talented videographer Shannon Kelly to pull it all off! It will now grace the home page of my website tracygabbard.com. Check it out when you have a chance! But for now… here it is!

*Disclaimer…. we did this peek inside video BEFORE social distancing. So, if you are uncomfortable meeting in the studio for consult we can do it via video until this all passes! :). We are enrolling families, children and babies for summer months. If our situation does not change with the virus dangers all prepaid money will be refunded if cancelled because of COVID-19.

NO Corona Virus at the Photography Studio

NO Corona Virus at My Photography Studio

It’s crazy out there!  We all want to say “NO Corona“. I understand, we are all concerned about so many aspects of this new virus and how it might effect our lives, health, finances and even on an entertainment level as more and more things are being cancelled we worry about tickets we have purchased and vacations we have planned. 

For those mommy’s expecting a baby or with small children they have even one more worry.  BUT I am here to tell you… “Don’t worry TGP mommy’s, I have you covered in at the photography studio“!  We are taking ALL precautions at the TGP Photography studio. We are stepping up our game even more that normal to make sure that if your baby or children are in the studio we are PREPARED and doing everything possible to ensure your families health. 

To Stay Safe

Here are a few things that we are doing (some of them we do anyway, all the time) to help make sure we all stay healthy!

  1. LOW volume!  My studio is ALWAYS a low volume studio.  I choose to not take on too many sessions per month to make sure I have enough time to devote to my clients and my family at home.  I DO NOT have many families in and out of the studio ever!  and rarely have 2 sessions in one day (in the studio at least).  Right now I will GUARANTEE at least 3 days between studio sessions in order to keep TGP photography studio sessions health.  Even if that means pushing a newborn session a couple days past when I would normally schedule them.  It looks like many news sources are sharing that this virus lasts up to about 3 days on surfaces.  So that will hopefully ensure that any germs that may have been left after disinfecting will also be gone!

2. DISINFECTING everything after every session!  We always do this anyway but we will be much more vigilant now.  Wiping down furniture and disinfecting floors.  Thankfully the studio is VERY simple so there is not much to disinfect!  We also use safe disinfectant that is not harmful to the environment to say “No Corona” to the virus!  BONUS!!!

3. WASHING all laundry!  Again – this something we ALWAYS do after every session.  Anything a baby or anyone uses gets washed.  We also use safe, non toxic laundry detergent to ensure your baby doesn’t have any reactions to any blankets or wraps that their delicate skin may touch.

4. DOGS – We love to welcome dogs to sessions with their new babies but at this time we will not be able to schedule any sessions with fur babies!  It is just to risky to any other families that may be headed into the studio, even if it is 3-4 days later.  We will let you know once we are able to welcome them back!  We will certainly miss them!

5. PLAY AREA – We have a nice little area with toys and things for children to do in the studio.  Until further notice we will remove the toys from this area.  We will ask families to bring in some small baskets of toys from their home to help keep the kids busy while they wait.  This is just to ensure that children are not playing with toys that other families children have played with.  This will also keep us from worrying that we missed something when disinfecting them.

6. GLOVES AND MASKS – We always have hand sanitizer out in the studio and I use it frequently when working with newborns but I will also have gloves and masks (until they run out LOL!) available for myself and any moms and dads that would like to use them.  I will also use them during your session by request.  I have NO problem doing this to help ensure your confidence!

7. SCREENING.  All clients will be contacted with in 24 hours of their session to make sure no one is exhibiting any symptoms of any type of sickness.  Most families are very respectful of this normally and reach out to let me know if they or their babies are not 100%.  However, I will be reaching out personally just to make sure we are all on the same page.

8. CHANGE – you are welcome to change your studio newborn session to an in home session!  This may give you a different look and feel to your session but we can do so and it will be just as beautiful as a studio session. If that is something you are interested in just let me know and we can talk about it!

I hope this helps reassure any families that already have a session scheduled or are thinking about it but are unsure because of any reason or particularly the corona virus that we are taking every precaution to say “No Corona” to the virus, and more to keep our studio a HEALTHY studio!  Please reach out if you have any questions!

New Beginnings Plan (NBP)- A baby with her best friend

New Beginnings Plan (NBP)

I have been blessed to see this family for the entire year!  They are members of the popular New Beginnings Plan (NBP), the TGP’s 1 year baby plan.  We have planned their session for the entire first year.  Each of their sessions will be unique with each one including something different.  Their fur baby, each set of grandparents at different sessions and I “think” the fur baby will come back for the first year session!  The New Beginnings Plan includes a minimum of 3 sessions but more can be added for no additional session fee.  They chose to add a 4th session.  This session is what I call a “heads up” session.  It happens around 3-4 months of age when they are holding their heads up really well on their own and smiling at their favorite people. 

They have chosen to do the New Beginnings Plan album.  An album that will build throughout the these sessions and will be printed and delivered after the last session.  They are also building a wall gallery that will include a favorite wall print from each session.  We have 1 more session left and I am excited to design their album!  I will make sure to show it to you when it comes in!  

Here are some favorites from her newborn session with her best friend and a few more I couldn’t leave out!New Beginnings Plan - TGP's 1 year baby plan  New Beginnings Plan - TGP's 1 year baby plan  New Beginnings Plan - TGP's 1 year baby plan  New Beginnings Plan - TGP's 1 year baby plan 

Here are a few favorites from her “heads up” session.  I am so jealous that I did not get professional pictures of my babies with their grandparents!  What a special memory for not only mom and dad but baby too!

Family Session in the park

Family Session Outdoor

I adore this family! During their family session their littlest has the most “sassy” (I mean that in a GOOD way!) personality. She is so fun to interact with and she loves to be silly. Just wait until you see the pictures at the end of this post. And a video of the beautiful album they purchased! It. is. to. die. for!

We fought some heavy cloud cover through out this session but the rain held out and we were able to get it done. When I schedule location sessions, I like to schedule them places where we can travel a little bit through the location and use some different spots to create some variety in the pictures. I always get to the location about 30 minutes ahead of time to make sure I can see where the best light will be and where the sun will be shining. We were able to get the most beautiful locations for this session!

I love to get the classic smiling posing images because I know they are important to families but my favorite types of images to capture are the interaction ones where it shows the real connection between families.  You can see the love and joy that they have when they are together.

Photos of Little One

At the end of the session I decided to keep taking pictures of her!  It was getting dark but she was being so funny I didn’t want to stop.  I think these might have been some of my favorites from this session!  She CRACKS me up!

This family decided to have me design and create a family album from their favorite images from their session. Many families have albums from each year they have a session with me and they are building their library of family albums! I know their children (and them) love to look at them often!

Newborn Photography – Worth the wait

Newborn Photography

This little guy decided to make his way into the world a little earlier than expected and decided to have a nice hospital stay!  BUT he was soooooo worth the wait! His little rolls are so yummy and those lips….. I loved each moment at this early newborn photography session. Early Newborn Photography by TGP

I love all his hair!  You never know how long newborn hair will stay but I was so happy he had so much for his photo session!  Especially since we scheduled his session much later than I normally schedule newborn sessions. 

Newborn Session when?

Newborn sessions are usually scheduled between 7 and 14 days after birth but this precious baby was several weeks old before he was able to come in to the studio for his session!

Early Newborn Photography by TGP Early Newborn Photography by TGP

Big Sister at his Photo Session

His big sister had a special dolly that she brought with her to every session (and still does) so this special giraffe will be what he brings to every session. I can not wait to see how he grows with this special toy by his side!

Early Newborn Photography by TGP

He is so loved by his family!  His big sister will be the best sister!  I can already tell how much she loves him! She was such a big helper at his session and always ready to take pictures with her special new baby!

Infant and big sister in photo session by TGP Infant and big sister in photo session by TGP

This newborn was such a great sleeper but I loved that he gave me just enough awake time to capture his eyes! He was so comfy all wrapped up and warm and was staring right at me!

I am always excited when a baby gives me lots of good sleep during their session but also a little bit of awake time so that I can capture them awake.  Awake newborn images are some of my favorites!

If you would like to schedule a complimentary consultation for a newborn session I would love to hear from you! Contact the studio at (727) 491-6476 or fill out the contact form.   We take a limited number of newborn sessions per month, it is really never to early to get your scheduled!

Check out this Outdoor Holiday Session!

Time to get outside with this Outdoor Holiday Session! 

We’ve been showing you a lot of beautiful Photography Sessions at Tracy Gabbard’s studio in the Clearwater area.

The Silver Bells collection, was absolutely gorgeous this year, and she was able to share a great time with families wearing their Holiday outfits. Beautiful dresses, silly poses, gift opening, and reading were some of the highlights on each Silver Bells Photography Session.

Today, we want to bring you a different one. This was an outdoor Holiday Session, for a young family member. A very casual and fresh look. Of course full of seasonal flowers in the background. They give a warm tone to the canvas. 

This was definitely a different day outside the studio. Full of color and vibrant tones, Tracy found shiny tree lights and included them in the background, for a pretty effect. 

Overall, a nice walk in the park with his favorite pets. Two beautiful dogs that were enjoying the natural surroundings. The nice breeze and weather outside made this a very easy, smooth session. 

The year is about to end and it has been a wonderful one. Filled with Newborns, Families and lovely Couples. Each year, Tracy becomes closer to every family and start a journey together to portray the most important moments in life. Love, growth, and milestones.

Double Trouble! 5 Beautiful Siblings from Family Photography Sessions

What’s better than one baby? That’s right! Two babies. Family Photography Sessions are always better when there are two babies!

At Tracy’s studio, Family Photography Sessions are filled with laughter and fun. Sometimes, we are lucky to have beautiful twins and siblings with some small or long age gap that makes every session very special. 

Even though babies grow fast, their age gap can be noticed a lot more when they are younger, especially during the First Years.

You can definitely see their expressions and capture their personalities on these special occasions. The older siblings are always loving and protective towards their younger brother or sister. Tracy does an incredible job at capturing this with a high-end creamy and soft finish, keeping sharpness and quality in every photograph.

Tracy finds it interesting, and she likes to play with this characteristics as they become possible. For example. In this photograph, you can see these two little ones have a big age gap. It was a great opportunity to create this heartwarming canvas.

Family Photography is Tracy Gabbard‘s passion. She loves having families coming to her Studio in the Clearwater area and creating different concepts to portray their client’s memories. 

It is also very commonly desired by parents, to use the same outfits and match them just for fun. Sometimes they would do it for twins but other times just because it’s a fun thing to do. With this white background, Tracy created a very smooth and refreshing look on these siblings. 

Sometimes, Tracy loves getting out of the Studio and shoot at special locations. Some locations have a special place in the client’s hearts or are simply stunning, Family Photography can be shot either at the Studio or Outdoors as well. 

Last but not least, sometimes everything is even better when there are three! We want to wish you a great weekend! Thank you for reading!

This trend has become a tradition now, Cake Smash Photography is a must! 

We teach our kids not to play with food, but for only ONE day, this rule is meant to be broken. During the First Year, babies are growing at the speed of light. And to finish with style, booking a fun Cake Smash Photography Session is the best idea.

Today we brought you a compilation of the sweetest (literally) photographs captured in Tracy’s Studio. Balloons and colorful outfits are the best props to contrast the white background and natural lighting at her Studio in Clearwater, Fl.

For the Cake Smash Photography Sessions, parents pick the colors to use. Usually going as blue for boys and pink for girls, but some other great options go from blue to purple and orange.

Besides being colorful and fun, it’s a great way to capture their smile. Most babies enjoy smashing the cake and eating it during the Cake Smashing Photography Session, babies love sweets and treats, so this themed session is definitely the most fun for them!

These Photography Sessions are the complete contrast of the usual sessions that Tracy offers. And this is because it’s a very special occasion, especially when it is their first time. It brings a beautiful, organic chaos of sweet cake! It’s messy but fun and memorable.

Four Reasons Why Fall Is The Perfect Season For Family Photography

The weather may still be warm, but it’s the best time for a Family Photography Session.


Fans of fall are fully aware of the changing leaves, crisp air, and smell of Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the air.

It’s the best time of the year to enjoy a Family Photography session with Tracy. We are lovers of sweater season. But while we love the beautiful colors, cozy nights, and treats of the season, there’s one other reason why we’re always excited when autumn rolls around.

Here are a few reasons why we consider fall to be one of the best seasons for Family Photography.

The weather is perfect

An adult, nothing makes you feel worse than sweating like crazy during your entire session. For a few months during autumn, the weather is gorgeous. Sessions go smooth and comfy, and the weather makes your life easier.

You have more outfit options

Once autumn arrives, your outfit options increase dramatically. It’s still sunny enough to slip in some warmer options, but not too hot to wear something long sleeved or heavier if you prefer. You can wear those warm boots and jackets that you like so much!

The leaves!

There’s no way we could make it through a post about fall in without mentioning the beautiful leaves. The different tones in the leaves make the sessions look warm and cozy. Definitely a great time to capture memories.

You have an excuse to do a Halloween themed Session

Sometimes, families are full of creativity. Maybe it is a small prop or a full costume, but this time of the year is a great excuse to dress up. Maybe even do a full costume group. It is super fun.
