Tampa Baby Photographer This little lady was so good during her sitting up session in the studio! As a Tampa Baby Photographer, I loved that she was crawling around the studio and gave me such sweet smiles! We had so much fun playing dress up at the beginning of the session with the pearls and fancy head pieces 🙂 And the special white crocheted dress that this little lady wore at the end of her sitting up session was handmade by her grandmother! What a sweet keepsake for this precious little lady! Tampa Baby Photographer

Sweet baby 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
Sweet Girl’s first year! (Tampa Baby Photographer)
Tampa Baby Photographer This little lady is finally one! As a Tampa Baby Photographer, it has been such and honor to watch her grow ever since I did the photos of her in Mommy’s belly! For this post, instead of featuring her cake smash photos on the blog today, (don’t worry, you’ll see them in a surprise post soon!)I thought I’d feature some of my favorite close ups that I think really featured her personality well! Isn’t she absolutely precious! Loved this session from beginning to end 🙂
Big Sister and Baby Brother (Tampa newborn Photographer)
Tampa Newborn Photographer Just wanted to feature this ADORABLE family today on the TGP Blog 🙂 As a Tampa Newborn Photographer, I loved seeing big sister shower her new little newborn baby brother with constant kisses! Mom, Dad, and big sister were all so in awe of their new addition to the family! Tampa Newborn Photographer
Silly Newborn Faces! (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Flash Back Friday! (Tampa Children 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
Flashback Fall Friday! (Tampa Child Photographer)
Tampa child photographer So for this week’s Flashback Friday I thought I’d add a little fall flair to it since we’re in the season. And I also wanted to feature some of my favorite memories of my very own kids! Every Fall for the past 7 years, we visited our local pumpkin patch! As a tampa child photographer, and mother of these two, it makes my heart just skip a beat knowing that my little ones are growing up so fast! (Don’t all of us moms wish we could slow the time down LOL!) Please enjoy these Flashback Friday Fall memories as much has I have! **Disclaimer: My photography has greatly improved over the years!! Can you tell?!!?** Tampa Child 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! 🙂
First Birthday Smash Cake Session (Tampa First birthday photographer)
Tampa First Birthday Photographer  What more can I say about this CUTIE who came to my studio not too long ago for his First Birthday Smash Cake Session. As a Tampa First Birthday Photographer, I absolutely LOVED this little guy’s high energy and excitement  as he literally ran around the studio during the session. Mommy was able to snag a few kisses from him as well before he got nice and messy during his cake eating! Everything about this session was adorable and and fun! Happy first birthday little guy! 🙂 Tampa First Birthday Photographer
Happy Halloween! (tampa newborn photographer)

Sassy 1st Birthday Smash-cake Session! (1st Birthday Photographer Tampa)
1st Birthday Photographer Tampa This sweet baby girl had so much fun during her 1st birthday session and obviously loved her cake too! She was super cute in pink and as a 1st birthday photographer in Tampa, I was able to see how crazy she is about her daddy during the session! I’ve been photographing her since birth and this sweet baby girl always lights up for him. As a Tampa baby photographer, it was so fun to watch. Love love LOVED all the cute and funny faces this sweet birthday girl made! For her 1st birthday photography session, she was easy to make smile and was happy the whole time! (1st birthday photographer Tampa)
Bundled-up Baby Boy (Tampa Newborn Photographer)
Tampa newborn photographer This sweet baby boy LOVED to be swaddled, and was happiest when he was wrapped uptight. Even though this family moved away to another city, as a Tampa newborn photographer, I am SUPER excited that they will be driving back for his other 2 sessions! Mom and Dad are BIG FSU fans and Dad is a recent graduate from medical school. This precious baby boy also gave some awesome awake photos during his newborn session! You might even be able to spot a smile in one of them! Also! Check out photos from this family’s maternity session here. (Tampa Newborn Photographer)
United We Stand (Tampa Newborn Photographer)
In honor of the men and woman whose lives were affected 13 years ago today, we have a special tribute to honor the police force, firefighters, pilots, and first responders. 9/11 We will never forget. United we stand.
Flashback-Friday! (Tampa baby Photographer)
Flash-Back Friday! (Tampa Baby Photographer)
It’s Flash-back Friday where we feature a few of our favorite cute clients from the past! As a Tampa baby photographer, I love seeing the comparison just like the families do. One of my favorite things is planning the whole process with the parent so they remember to bring something similar to each session. I also enjoy putting a page in their album that includes at least 2, if not all 3, of their matching photos. And although it makes me a little sad because I know how fast that year goes by, it also makes me SO happy to know that I have helped provide the families with lasting memories for that whole first year! So here are some of my favorites for the week! Be sure to check the blog next week to see if your little one is featured in our “Flash-back Friday” series!! tampa baby photographer
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”! (tampa infant photographer)
Wardrobe Wednesday :) (tampa baby photographer)
Love this baby girl’s frilly and fun outfit from head to toe! 🙂
Pretty Blue Eyes (Tampa baby photographer)
(tampa baby photographer) This little lady has grown so much since her newborn session and lots of “chunkers” which I LOVE! As a full-time baby lover and a Tampa baby photographer, this sitting up session was so much fun for me. Mom and I planned to use the quilt from this little lady’s nursery for all her session so it would be a great way to show the growth in her from each session. As you can see from the playful photos, l loved her quilt too! I especially loved that this baby girl has big beautiful blue eyes that were super fun to capture in the light. tampa baby photographer
Mommy and baby (Tampa Newborn Photographer)
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! (tampa newborn photographer)
Simply Adorable Baby Boy and Big Sister (Tampa baby photographer)
tampa baby photographer This session was one of my absolute favorites! As a tampa baby photographer, I’ve been working with this family since this baby boy’s big sister was in Mommy’s tummy! One of my favorite features about this sitting up session was brother and sister’s precious fire-fighter inspired outfits since Dad is a fire-fighter. Mom always has the cutest outfits for these two little ones. Another special part of this session was when big sister leaned over and gave little brother a big kiss! Big sister just loved giving her baby brother kisses 🙂 It was hillarious and heart-felt at the same time! I am so looking forward to this baby boy’s one year session when Mom remembers to bring Dad’s firefighter gear so we can get a before and after from his newborn session! (tampa baby photographer)
Blue-eyed Birthday Girl! (first birthday cake smash)
First birthday cake smash First I have to say, I absolutely love love love this family! As a Tampa first birthday photographer, it’s always an honor to work with a family that you’ve been with since their one-year old was in mommy’s tummy! Loved watching these little ladies grow up so fast! This was little lady’s first birthday cake smash session and it was tons of fun! These adorable sisters had similar outfits that were handmade at a local boutique and little sister loved playing with her dress during her first birthday session. She had the most fun when got the tape from the balloons stuck on her hand. As she tried to get it off, she was laughing the whole time! This fun first birthday cake smash session was one of my favorites! (first birthday cake smash)
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)
Family Fun Session (tampa family photographer)
tampa family photographer Couldn’t wait to share this super fun family session of mom and the kids! This super special family session was actually a surprise photoshoot for Father’s Day! (So glad I can finally post all of their cute photos) Big sister was definitely the “Star of the Show” for this family session and had fun running around! LOL! And her adorable little brother gave me some of the cutest smiles and loved playing with Mommy 🙂 As a tampa family photographer, I was pretty impressed with all the candid images we were able to get from the family session. Can’t wait to photograph this little guy’s first birthday coming up soon! (tampa family photographer)
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to! (first birthday cake smash)
I have to say that this first birthday cake smash session speaks for itself! I absolutely LOVE this family and it seems like just yesterday I was doing big sister’s cake smash session! This little guy gave me so many great smiles during his session even during his first birthday cake smash portion of the session. And boy was he nicely dressed for the occasion. His classic full-suit baby tuxedo was the perfect touch for this first birthday cake smash session. But when big sister tried to snag some of the cake, this little guy threw the most adorable fit, trying to smile and cry at the same time! It was absolutely hilarious! I had a blast doing this session and from the looks of it, I’m guessing he did too! 🙂 (first birthday cake smash)
Summertime Maternity Session (tampa maternity photographer)
(tampa maternity photographer) So I have to say that these two were absolutely adorable during their maternity session on this warm summer afternoon. I was so happy that the weather worked out for us! We were at a local park for this one and the sunlight was awesome! As a tampa maternity photographer, I can still remember how thrilled mommy and daddy were for the soon expected arrival of their sweet bundle of joy. Also, they love love love FSU (if you couldn’t already tell 🙂 Can’t wait to share their newborn session soon ! Stay tuned! (tampa maternity photographer)
Fun in the Sun Beach Maternity (tampa maternity photographer)
(tampa maternity photographer) This awesome couple was lots of fun. They traveled from Plant City all the way to Clearwater Beach for their beach session. Their love for each other was totally obvious during their session and as a Tampa maternity photographer I love being able to capture that for them. The pure joy for their new baby truly makes the images so real and meaningful.
    It was an absolutely beautiful night (as you can see). We thought it might be chilly but it turned out to be gorgeous. The wrap material on the beach was all Mommy’s idea. She braved changing on the beach (thankfully it was not to busy that night) and we even thought the “beach police” were headed our way at one point as she was changing! She was covered with a towel but we were all like nervous teenagers! LOL! We had tons of fun and captured some really great images for their maternity session. The couple’s newborn session was just as awesome and I look forward to sharing their precious baby girl soon! Stay tuned! (tampa maternity 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.
