Sweet Newborn Boy and Big Brother (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Tampa Newborn Photographer This recent session had so many funny and sweet moments! After bribing big brother with a few gold fish crackers and the fun wagon prop, we were able to get him near his newborn baby brother! As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I loved some of the facial expressions that we were able to capture as Big Brother interacted with baby brother. When on his own, this little guy slept like a champ and was super fun to play with all throughout the session! He even gave me a smile or two! Take a look :) Tampa Newborn Photographer

Star Wars Baby Boy (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Tampa Newborn Photographer Hello Hello! As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I’ve been super busy between new sessions, and remodeling the brand new website. But we’ve finally gotten a chance to post new sessions today on the blog!

Today’s special newborn baby boy is one of the cutest! This little guy gave us so many great sleepy poses!! He even was a champ during our Star Wars inspired poses. Some of these weren’t my typically my style, but it was fun to try something different for a change and help to make Mom’s dreams come true! This adorable newborn baby boy also had some super cute awake moments that just made my heart melt! Take a look! Tampa Newbon Photographer

Big Sister and Baby Girl (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Tampa Newborn Photographer I’m so excited to share with you all this super sweet newborn session. As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I had so much photographing big sister (every since she was a newborn) but especially now with her newborn little sister on the scene! Can’t wait to photograph little sister when she starts crawling! This is one of my favorite families to photograph 🙂 Tampa Newborn PhotographerTGPblog7

Silly Newborn Faces! (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Tampa Newborn Photographer We’ve all had our share of blooper moments during photos and some are just too silly to forget. As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I can’t tell you how many hilarious moments that happen during sessions that are so super cute. Thought you’d might enjoy these sweet moments and silly faces from some of my favorite newborn sessions! Tampa Newborn Photographer

Sweet Newborn Angel ( Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Tampa Newborn Photographer This sweet baby girl was a little angel at her newborn session! She had a nice awake period but when she fell asleep she really slept!  As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I had tons of fun putting her in cute little poses!  Not only was this newborn session going well but the weather outside was wonderful for her outdoor pose! The connection with this sweet baby girl with Mommy and Daddy was too precious! I was even able to get a few cute smiles out of this little angel when she was comfy in Daddy’s arms! 🙂 Tampa Newborn Photographer

Chubby Cheeks (Tampa Newborn Photographer

As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, one of the cutest things that I love about sweet baby newborns are their ADORABLE chubby cheeks 🙂 Out of the many newborns I have had the honor of photographing, here are just a few of my favorite “chubby cheek” moments with these very special newborns. These super cute photos are sure to make you swoon sigh, and smile when you see them! 🙂

New Sibling Love (tampa infant photographer)

(tampa infant photographer)  All my clients with newborns that also have young siblings that we incorporate into the session KNOW how it is a “family affair” to get a young child (3 and under) to cooperate with a newborn!  I have posted pull backs before of everyone gathered around the “babies” with treats to try to get the toddler even close to the baby!  It is actually quite funny.  We always manage to pull out a few priceless photos that mommys and daddys will always treasure but I had to post this picture of a recent sibling session.  LOVE the look on this adorable little guys face as we are persuading him to get close to his new baby brother!  Do you see anything else funny?  Look closely, there is a treat somewhere in the picture waiting for “pick up”… you know I am supposed to snap the shutter at the EXACT time this quick little guy reaches down for his treat!  LOL!  Cracks me up!  (I actually don’t think that he fell for our trick and never picked up that treat!)  Needless to say, there are priceless images of the 2 of them together but this one really “tells all”!

Precious Baby Boy (tampa newborn photographer

tampa newborn photographer Well this sweet angel was 16 days old (a little older than most newborns I photograph) but nonetheless he was an absolute dream. As a tampa newborn photographer, I love love LOVED this precious baby boy’s head FULL of hair  and his cute chubby rolls 🙂 (Can you tell I just love my job!)  And on top of all that, this little guy slept like a champ! He even managed to give me a little smile at the end of our outdoor time 🙂 The special jacket was Grandpa’s and this sweet baby boy even wore one of the same hats he came home from the hospital with 🙂 I had so much fun during this newborn session with this precious baby boy!

Beautiful Bundle of Joy! (tampa newborn photographer)

tampa newborn photographer Can you say too cute?! That is exactly what I thought when this sweet angel came into my studio! As a tampa newborn photographer, I really appreciated her sweet “awake moments” where I had a chance to capture her big beautiful eyes. Mommy and Daddy were so thrilled to take family photos altogether. Daddy was a big FSU fan (hence the football helmet) and even gave Mommy and baby matching necklaces! How sweet! Even though this family just moved across the country, as New Beginning Plan Members, they plan on returning for their baby girl’s sitting up session! Can’t wait! (tampa newborn photographer)

Precious Baby Boy (tampa newborn photographer)

(Tampa Newborn Photographer)  This was a recent last minute session and I just happened to have an opening so it worked out perfectly.  Especially since mom was a referral from another photographer and as a tampa newborn photographer, I was honored since the traveled all the way from Valrico.  I knew that the most important thing to mom were the sibling shots and the kids were awesome so we were able to get a nice variety of images.  Mom also REALLY wanted an outside newborn swing picture. But this particular morning it was storming.  And I mean really really storming.  It was so bad that at one point I took out studio lights because the clouds were so dark. (You could tell I was determined to make her dream come true!) It was really dark outside so the swing situation was NOT looking good but thankfully, I didn’t end up having to use the studio lights. Towards the end of the newborn session, the rain took a small break AND this sweet baby boy stayed in his deep sleep so we were able to pop out in the yard and get her swing pictures! This family was amazing! (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Sleeepy princess… (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) This little princess was super sleepy and made her first photo shoot sooo easy! It was so fun to see grandma, aunty and daddy ooh and ahhh over her cuteness. There is no doubt she will be the apple of everyone’s eye! A little fun information for this first picture. Mom brought the sea shell and the starfish clip on the headband was what mom wore in her hair in her wedding. How special is that? It is so great when families bring special things to use in their sessions. Not only is it fun to incorporate personal things into a session but it means a lot to the family as well.

Happy Mothers Day (tampa family photographer)

(tampa family photographer) A special Happy Mothers day to all the amazing moms! I am so lucky to be able to capture precious “mommy and me” moments throughout the year at many of my sessions. Here is just a small sampling of the many wonderful moms I meet each week! I hope that all my client mommies have wonderful day (and other moms to)! (tampa family photographer)

So sweet… (tampa newborn photographer)

(Tampa newborn photographer) This little one was so special and so sweet.  We were worried in the beginning of the session that she wouldn’t sleep but she worked it like a champ! 🙂  There are so many amazing image of her it was hard to pick out a few to share but here they are…

Love these cheeks! (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  Oooooo these cheeks!  I absolutely love a little bit of baby chunk, especially on those precious kissable cheeks!  This doll baby was a dream baby to photograph.  I think mommy and daddy got some good R&R during her session as they let me play with her the whole time and I loved it!  It was an awesome morning in the TGP studio!  (tampa newborn photographer)

Newborn princess (tampa infant photographer)

(tampa infant photographer) Such a special time for this amazing family with their new baby.  Mommy is a big fan of a certain football team (as you will see) and I am sure her princess will help her cheer on her team in years to come.  Just a few quick peaks for them before they get their full gallery in a couple of days.  I would love to share their planned maternity session with you as well but since baby came quite a bit early- I think the best they got were a few snap shots on their phone for maternity pictures! LOL!  I am sure the last picture in this group will be a huge favorite and I know they have been waiting to see it!  (Tampa infant photographer)

Sleepy baby… NOT so much :) (clearwater baby photographer)

(clearwater baby photographer) This special little thing was super interested in everything going on in the studio during her session!  She didn’t want to miss anything!  She couldn’t stay awake for the entire session but close to it!  I am so excited to have her as one of the newest members of the New Beginnings Plan (although there are lots of new members lately).  You can see her mommy and daddy’s beautiful maternity session here…. But for a special sneak peak of her newborn session just look below…                           (clearwater baby photographer)

Beautiful light, Beautiful Beach Maternity (tampa maternity photographer)

(Tampa maternity photographer)  Scheduling a beach session at this time of the year is always challenging with the unpredictable weather.  Well, who am I kidding- scheduling a beach session at anytime of the year is challenging in Florida as we NEVER know when a rain shower could arrive but during this time of the year there are other elements to consider as well.  Wind and cold temperatures are at the top of the concern list for this time of the year.  It was not different for this tampa maternity session.  We had it scheduled for just a little bit later but this smart mommy to be was watching the weather and contacted me to see if we could move it up a few days since a cold front was expected our our originally scheduled day.  It was  GREAT move (as you can see) since we had amazing light, beautiful temperatures and only a little breeze!

I am really looking forward to getting to know this couple this year as their next session will be their newborn session (delivery expected in just a few short weeks) as part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan.  They choose to add on a maternity session to the plan and I think it was a very smart move considering how their session turned out!  They will have amazing images to look back on and remember this special time of their lives!  This will probably be their last “easy” beach session as I am sure any that they consider in the future will include an adorable child! LOL!  (tampa maternity photographer)

Tracy Gabbard Photography Newborn Promo Video (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) I am so excited to share the new TGP promo video for newborn’s!  A special thank you to  Freddy with Final Shot Studios for the AMAZING job!  I was dreading being interviewed and being on camera but he made it easy and smooth and I love the results!  I would highly recommend him and Final Shot Studios for any type of video you are looking for. I am planning to do a few more in the future to give more info on other types of sessions and the New Beginnings Plan as well. We had a perfect little model for this special day and special “shout out” to her family for participating! I hope this video gives a little insight on how a newborn session goes at the TGP studio.  Leave some love if you like it… if you don’t keep it to yourself LOL! 🙂

Beautiful beach maternity (tampa maternity photographer)

(Tampa maternity photographer) Wow!  We sure lucked out with beautiful weather for this beach session.  This special couple is TGP’s newest member of the New Beginnings Plan.  Can you believe this mommy to be is due in just a couple short weeks!  She looks so amazing and so happy (daddy does to of course but I know it’s no secret that is is “all about mommy” during this time)! 🙂  We actually moved this session up a day early and it was pure luck that we did since the night we had originally scheduled ended up being one of the coldest nights of the year.  But this evening was absolutely perfect!  (tampa maternity photographer)

My New Beginnings Plan (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

    My favorite collection is The New Beginnings Plan launched about four years ago in 2007. It includes three sessions for capturing the first few stages of life  for your newborn baby. The plan can feature any stages you’d like for your baby but these are my recommendations:

1. Newborn Session (under 12 days)

2. Sitting up (on their own) Session

3. One year Birthday Session

    Families often add on maternity sessions and sometimes an extra session through out the year to document all the stages. Over the course of four years, many families have been involved in The New Beginnings Plan. The plan has become so popular that as a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I can only take a limited number of babies per month.

One of the things I love about this plan is watching the babies grow over the years and getting to know the families. And although I usually see them again, it still breaks my heart when their final session of the plan comes around.

What the families tend to love most about The New Beginnings Plan are the keepsake albums that they receive at the end. They have this album as a timeless treasure that has all their baby’s precious moments right from the very beginning. 🙂

Here are some of my favorite New Beginnings Plan members from over the years. Enjoy! 🙂GetekNBPNew1

Happy Wednesday (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  I would say that at almost every newborn session that the baby smiles.  HOWEVER, I would also have to say that I almost NEVER have the camera in my hands at that time.  It is something I often say… I can just never catch those precious smiles that we all love!  I am hoping that this little smiler turns my luck around!  She smiled so much WHEN I ACTUALLY HAD THE CAMERA that I decided to post only smiling pictures of her!  She is the newest member of the New Beginnings Plan and I hope that all theses wonderful smiles carry through to all her sessions with TGP! 🙂  And I hope that these smiles make your hump day just that much better!  (tampa newborn photographer)

Outdoor Newborn Session (tampa baby photographer)

(tampa baby photographer) This sweet bundle of joy has only been in the world for seven days and he’s already melting hearts. I was lucky enough to get together with my close photographer friend and spend the evening with this little bundle of joy.  We had an absolute blast with playing with him and although he was hungry at sunset he was the perfect model for the rest of the session.  The lighting was perfect and so was the company 🙂

*Disclaimer- baby was safely spotted for all shots and specifically on the swing, the baby had hands on him at all times the rest was done in photoshop. 🙂   (tampa baby photographer)

Pretty princess (Tampa baby photographer)

(Tampa baby photographer) This little doll was so fun to dress up and play with during her session.  Once she fell asleep she stayed in dreamland the entire session!  She’s one of the newest members of the TGP New Beginnings Plan (my newborn – first birthday photography package) and I am so lucky to be able to watch her grow this year.  I am sure she will be a princess for all her sessions and I can’t wait to see what we can dress her up in each time 🙂  There are so many more images in the gallery it was for sure hard to choose what to share but here is a quick preview!  (tampa baby photographer)

(tampa baby photography studio) This perfect angel was so amazing for her photography session.  There are so many great images this is just a tiny preview of what her gallery will look like (I feel like I say that for every session LOL!)!  I guess I am lucky to photograph so many awesome families, children and babies!  I totally loved every minute of our session and count the months until see her again for her sitting up session since she is part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan.  (tampa baby photography studio)

Sweetness…. (tampa baby photographer)

(tampa baby photographer) I was so lucky to photograph this family during the holidays for a special holiday session in their home.  We had a great time and I was blessed to have them return for their newborn session with their second little girl.  She was a dream to spend the morning with and she will be a lucky little sister as her big sister will be doting on her for many years to come. I love all the images of the two girls together and there is a sneak peak of just a couple below.  Mom brought in a few fun props to use in her Hungry Caterpillar themed room which is always fun too!

Sleeping Beauty (tampa photographer)

(tampa photographer)  This little one was just precious, weighing in at a little less the 5lbs!  She slept like a champ while we played in the TGP studio.  She is one of the newest members of the TGP New Beginnings Plan. There are limited sessions left for the summer so if you are expecting a baby this summer or you’re planning to schedule a session make sure to email or call soon… there are not many space left!   I am excited to show this new family their gallery and it won’t be long now!
