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

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!

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!

 

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!

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!

Tracy Gabbard Family Photography, baby's first steps

Baby’s First Steps- Family Photography

Baby’s First Steps

I’m trying….. as hard as this sweet baby is trying to take his first steps to get back into the swing of things! It’s a new month I have lots to share I just need to get back into the swing of things!

But getting back to this sweet family… These moments are priceless.. never to happen again! I wish with all my heart that I could go back for just a short time and enjoy my babies when they were this little. I still get to enjoy the excitement of older kids “firsts” but somehow it is bitter sweet. Now it’s just a few short years until I know they are out on their own making all the “older” firsts seem so long ago. I’m so lucky to be able to watch all these other babies grow and experience their “firsts” through their mommy and daddy’s eyes.

We turned Tracy’s Studio into a miniature Christmas pop for this sweet boy. It was such a fun Holiday Photography Session!

He is so small he fits this beautiful basket perfectly. Holiday Props can get very creative. Here, the predominant color is red and it really grabs everyone’s attention. It almost looks like a tiny Santa outfit with the buttons. We can safely say that this little boy is the actual Christmas gift!

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!

4 Years Of Life Celebrated With a Children Photography Session ♥

Celebrating four years of life with a Children Photography Session in the Studio with Tracy Gabbard.

Tracy is a skilled photographer in the Tampa Bay area and located in the Clearwater area.

She has a natural lighting photography studio that brings the best environment for the perfect photos.

This time we have two little brothers in the studio. Children Photography has a very special place in Tracy’ heart because it gives her the opportunity to watch them grow through the years.

Most families who come to the studio while they are pregnant or in the early stages of their new family member’s life, come back to capture every important milestone with her. Especially birthdays and important dates.

This time we have two little ones that are not so little anymore. They are best friends and have a great relationship. Older and younger brother got together to celebrate another birthday together.

They have, like all brothers, different personalities, one prefers red, the other one loves blue. Contrast colors look great together.

Tracy loves to use light colors such as gray and white, and they go very good with the choice of clothes for this set.

She enjoys capturing the kid’s expressions and personalities through every photo. And you can tell how comfortable they look during the session.

One of the abilities that make her stand out in front of other professionals who work with Children Photography, is precise, that she can bring the little ones into a fun and happy mood that make photo sessions very smooth and relaxed.

Cutest Children Photography Session Of The Day!

We celebrate the second year of life with a very colorful Children Photography session with Tracy Gabbard.

 

 

Not everything is Newborns around here.

That’s only the first step. As they grow old and move forward with milestones, families always come back to the studio to continue to capture their journey behind Tracy’s camera lens.

 

 

One thing is for sure. This little two-year-old is a happy kid. She filled the studio with laughter and the incredible mix of colors make the canvas look absolutely energizing. 

 

 

One of the skills that make Tracy stand out before other professionals who offer Children Photography, is her ability to handle the little ones and shape them into a great environment filled with positive energy. 

 

 

Red is the color of passion, red, emotion and it’s a warm color that is very powerful. A photo like this would stand out wherever it is shown.

She loves Elmo from Sesame Street and they didn’t think twice to add it to the session. 

 

 

A beautiful thing that comes with growing up, is that moment when the little ones start sitting up. It’s a great opportunity to capture their first steps without the help of parents. 

 

 

Tracy is a mother of two and she is passionate about Children Photography. She has over ten years of experience with children and you can see how easy it is for her to portray the best expressions! 

 

 

This little one didn’t bring a real-life pet with her but, thanks to Tracy’s outstanding digital editing skills. She was able to role play in the studio and add the cutest fish to the small water bowl for a natural effect.

 

 

You can definitely see it in her face, she is having the time of her life, and everyone in the studio is laughing and enjoying as well. 

 

 

Kids have an enormous imagination, feeding it with this themed photos was absolutely fantastic.

One of the pictures is super adorable, you can see her showing her finger forming the #1 sign. As a reminder that she is absolutely rocking her first birthday ever!

A Peculiar Pet Choice + Cutest First Birthday Photography Session ♥

Today we bring you a special and super cute photo session.

Because believe it or not, sometimes the best way to start to teach responsibilities to our little ones doesn’t have to be through a bigger animal like a dog or a cat.

This little man, who is indeed growing at speedlight (like all of them, apparently, lol), came to the studio to with his family to celebrate his very first birthday, such an important date to remember. It’s going to be portrayed in paper and hearts of every member of the family.

His favorite color is red, and just in case it wasn’t obvious enough, his most loved pet is a beautiful orange fish. It looks like taken out of a cartoon, they decided to bring it to the studio as an important member of the family as well.

Also, he is all about playing with his toys, he loves his little cart and uses it to run around carrying his favorite teddy bears. It does not get cutter than that, I promise.

Tracy used a classic balloon to represent the first year in color blue, his other favorite color. Both create a very energetic contrast in the pictures. It was a very fun photo session and the way he goes through sitting up and giving his first steps is just too cute.

Finally, you must check this outfit out, rocking a baby blue bow tie and a #1, he is looking like a little gentleman, and they were all in love in the studio. He has a beautiful smile and was having a great time in the studio, Tracy was able to capture his beautiful laugh and smile in the photographs, it’s truly captivating.

The little girl was surrounded by a soft, pastel pink color and some warm tones to complement the canvas and her skin tone, it makes her skin look peachy and soft.

In this classic pose you can compare the fabric and her body and you can see how small she is, it’s just a beautiful perspective. The colors complement her skin tony and it’s just too cute. 

Here we see her turned into a little pink teddy bear with the little ears, her little feet are almost the same shade of pink as the fabric!  

 

The hand of a father and loving parent. He is holding her entirely with both hands and she is so small she fits perfectly.

This is one of the favorite photographs, she looks peaceful, trusting her father’s hands, you can feel how calm she is, probably taking a nap while they were at the studio taking all these amazing photos, LOL! 

White, on white, on white! This is an example of Tracy’s favorite looks, she adores white and this photograph shows it at it’s best. It looks so fresh and clean!

Just for a change of scenery, this warm peachy color and the texture of the fabric are the perfect combination, matching with the two pieces she is wearing. She is so adorable!

You can see her parent’s love and affection through every photograph, they hold her softly between their arms and they look lovely.

 

 

 

 

5 great tips for parents with twins!

These beautiful twins we bring you today are just the cutest duo in the studio. They are identical, it’s like someone copied and pasted one of them into the other!

Having twins is a magical experience and can also be very demanding and a stressful journey the first years, but it’s also rewarding, just like any other pregnancy. Check out these beautiful photos from Tracy Gabbard’s Photography Studio below.

  1. Definitely Sync Their Schedules

Getting your twins on the same eating and sleeping schedule is essential. Otherwise it will just be double work for you.

  1. Don’t Separate Older Twin Babies

When your twins are sleeping through the night, you might want you to put them in separate rooms, so they won’t wake each other up. But that will only teach them to rely on total silence to stay asleep. They need to learn to sleep through everything, even their own crying.

  1. Meet Other Twin Parents

There are multiple social groups that you can find around you and it could be helpful. Visit the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs.

  1. Don’t Double Up on Absolutely Everything

Of course, you will need two car seats, cribs and other essentials, but having twin babies does not mean that you must buy everything twice, mix it up a little bit too! They probably have different personalities and like different toys.

  1. Buy Your Baby Essentials Online

Twin babies go through diapers, wipes and other everyday items at the speed of light. To help with your everyday life, you could use great online stores like Amazon, Ebay and others that will deliver everything to your doorstep. And that’s a huge advantage!

Cake Smash Photo Session Sweetness Overload with Tracy Gabbard

It’s that time of the year, that super special First Birthday, and Tracy sure knows how to celebrate it by throwing a Cake Smash party at the studio!

There are many reasons why we encourage our little ones to smash those cakes and it is mainly because it’s fun, colorful and just because we can. It started here in the United States and it has become a trend that keeps growing between families, so much that it is almost a must! 

It’s so easy and fun to have the little ones and their favorite flavored caked together in the same picture. And because they are so curious and always craving sweets, their reactions to the opportunity to have the entire cake for themselves is just so interested to watch, capturing their personalities and expressions every time.

It is usually either pink themed for girls and blue for boys, but families can always decide what color they prefer to show off their personality and preferences. Tracy makes sure to match the cake with the rest of the canvas to create the perfect color mix!

 It’s so interesting how the little ones react so differently to the cakes, some are very active and don’t hesitate to smash the cake as soon as they can, some others approach it very carefully, but still messy and cute.

One of our cutest girls here, rocking that 1 year old shirt, is not shy at all, she immediately started playing with the cake and spreading it all over the place. It’s just too cute! We can’t help it but smile.

That smile you get when she tastes the sweet cake icing is something special that Tracy wants to capture in these photographs. We are naturally drawn to desserts and treats, and these type of photo sessions are nothing but fun rewards! 

And finally, our smashing cake award goes to this little one, for showing us those beautiful while pearls! Contact Tracy today for more information, these sessions can be single sessions or part of a package, feel free to ask her today.

Reasons Why Dogs Are By Far Our Best Friends + Heartwarming Puppies and Babies Photos!

There is a reason that dogs are awarded by being to as “A man’s best friend”

Tracy Gabbard is a Photographer located in the Tampa Bay area, check out the cutest photos taken at her studio, she knows that when you have a dog as a member of your family, regardless of whether it’s simply you and the puppy, you and a partner and the dog or you and a group of five or more dogs, there is a bond there that exclusive a puppy darling can really know.

Life is loaded with festivities and battles and here are four reasons dogs are the best friends to experience both the great occasions and the awful occasions with than most pets out there.

 

  1. They don’t pass judgment. It’s hard to believe, but it is true, dogs don’t realize what judgment is. They will never say I told you so. They will just twist up with you on the love seat or the floor and adore you for you. They couldn’t care less what any other person on the planet considers you. They cherish you for precisely your identity.

  1. They know the correct words are no words. They can recognize a pregnant woman baby’s heartbeat. When we are sad, they keep us company. We need somebody to embrace us and keep us company in the hardest moments. Dogs are life savers and they will be there in the hardest times of your life.

  1. They are never grumpy. Puppies don’t wake up on the wrong side of the bed. They are glad to wake up and welcome the day. Every day is a play day! People could learn a thing or two from them.

  1. They are dependably up for whatever you need to do. Going for a run? They’re in. Need to relax in the sun? In the shade? On the shoreline? On the love seat? All in. Constantly. Indeed, even companions aren’t constantly. Puppies? They are there forever.

And of course, all the pictures above were taken by the top Tampa Bay photographer, Tracy Gabbard, she specializes in Newborn Photography and Family Photography as well, but when the family comes with extra paws, she is more than happy to include them!

The Beauty Of Pregnancy + Beautiful Maternity Photography by Tracy Gabbard

Pregnancy is really a special time in a woman’s life. Not every person concurs, but rather pregnancy truly is a extraordinary experience.

Pregnancy comes with good and bad times, and here and there it tends to be difficult to acknowledge your new, pregnant shape. Yet, pregnancy is the most beautiful ability women have to create new life and something that must be celebrated!

That is the reason why I must give you 7 reasons why pregnancy is lovely!

1. Creating life

 

There is nothing more astounding than creating a new life! Simply consider all the stunning changes that will be happening to your child every day during those 9 months. That is delightful!

2. New shape with a purpose

As that life is made, your shape will change. It’s on purpose! It’s not on account of you’re not practicing or not eating great; this is a direct result of that astounding new life. Cherish it!

3. Flawlessly femininity

Is there anything that can be compared to pregnancy? It’s a unique experience, the ultimate female gift!

4. Physical rewards

A great deal of ladies do encounter silky hair, nails, bigger bosoms, and so on while pregnant. Why not appreciate it?

5. Those little kicks!

Knowing that inside your belly, there is a genuine, live child is truly amazing! How many of you simply sit and watch the infant move at times?

6. No stressing over additional weight

For once, you don’t need to fuss that your hips are somewhat more extensive, or your thighs are kissing. Regardless of whether the additional weight you gain isn’t in your fault, it is there for a reason: to feed your baby! Love your pregnant shape overall!

7. Baby Arrival

That little one and its arrival, regardless of how it happens, is an beautiful thing. There is simply nothing else like it. Encountering the birth and afterward holding the infant that developed in your body every one of those months… stunning!

3 Caring Tips For Your Baby’s Feet Plus The Cutest Tiny Feet Close Ups!

As humans, one of our most important assets in life are our feet. We start from the beginning, crawling and sitting up until we are able to start walking and taking steps in life. And most of us are lucky to have two legs and two feet. Today we are grateful for that and we want to show you how beautiful these close ups can be and on top of that, some tips to keep your baby’s feet healthy!

According to the American Pediatric Medical Association (APMA), by the time we reach 65, she will have walked more than 100,000 miles. That’s why it’s important to take your baby’s feet care as a priority. Start them off on the right foot (literally) by taking proper care of their little feet and understanding the possible problems that can affect them.

Here are some tips to take proper care of their beautiful tiny feet from the beginning.

  1. Your baby’s new feet may be blue, wrinkled, and peeling like much of the rest of his body after nine months in a cocoon of protective fluid. Be assured, however, that his feet will recover the normal tone and fill out as soon as he gets warm.
  2. Before they take their first steps, babies need to develop proper strength in their legs to carry their own body weight, as well as the confidence to stand on their own two feet. While many parents look to the first birthday as the target date for this major milestone, the average age when children begin walking closer to 12 to 15 months.
  3. It can be very difficult to resist the temptation to put cute little shoes on your baby’s feet, but they can be an obstruction to growing feet properly. Shoes that are too restrictive don’t allow for normal toe and foot motion.

And of course, Tracy will be more than happy to invite you to her Studio in the Tampa Bay area for beautiful sessions where you will be able to capture your child’s feet while they are still tiny and fuzzy. Don’t miss this opportunity, contact us now for a free appointment for more information about Tracy’s Photography services.

Tampa Family Photographer

OMG!  These 2 are hilarious! As a Tampa family Photographer I have been SO lucky to photograph them since the they were both newborns.  I don’t think we have missed even one year.  They are both crazy, funny and SO much fun!  After 8 years of following them through their little lives I have literally watched them grow up before my eyes.  It is fun to find new places to have sessions… we have done local parks, clearwater beaches, Tampa universities, the TGP studio and now downtown Tampa.  We just did a little story on their session from last year here.… My heart is full when I get to spend time with them and mom gets a break since I take them off on my own.  Their personalities crack me up and I LOVE that they know me and are comfortable with me.  There is always lots of laughing and giggles throughout the time we spend together and you can see how fun they are in this picture as he reacts to a silly secret his sister told him!  

 

During the session, unprompted by me, big sister asked me to take a pretty picture of the flowers she picked…. how perfectly girl like and sweet… 

Now for the funny part….. a little later in the session, Mr “C” asked me to take a picture of….

yes…. the ANT crawling on his arm! LOL!  TOTAL girl and boy representation there!  I am fairly sure that the picture of this ant will NOT be a large portrait above the fireplace BUT I bet it makes it into and album page because it is SOOO him and shows exactly what both of these awesome kids are like at this age!  And after all, isn’t that what portrait sessions are all about?
