The click of a shutter…. (first birthday photographer)

Monday, July 15, 2013Babies, Children, First birthday Sessionssmash cake photography, tampa first birthday photographerTracy Gabbard

(first birthday photographer) Seriously, the images that were created for this gallery were split seconds in time as this HAPPY little toddler RAN through the studio! Mom and I were out of breath chasing her around. So, if you look below and see her sitting….that is literally one split second, just long enough for the shutter to click! LOL! Truly, I have “standard” camera settings that I usually use in the studio…. I changed them for her to make sure I could actually capture some in focus! LOL! However, as busy as she was with her toddler “frankenstein” walk (you know when they hold their arms out in front of them to balance :)), she was truly the happiest toddler I may have ever photographed. There were hardly any images of her without a big smile on her face. That is until the smash cake part of the photography session- which she was not to crazy about. But that is okay it was a joy to meet her mom and spend time with her in the studio and I hope to see them again in the near future! (first birthday photographer)

(clearwater children’s photographer) This family has been waiting for quite a long time as I fit their session right in the middle of the busy season and they knew it would be awhile before I could get to their birthday session. The smallest princess in these pictures was part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan and officially graduated with this session. It was so much fun to watch her grow throughout the year and she and her sister loved to “ham it up” for me at each session. Big sister turned 4 not to long before this session so it was only appropriate that she get in on some of the cake smashing fun! (clearwater children’s photographer)

(tampa baby photographer) Another first birthday session! This time mom opted out of the smash cake but we had lots of fun anyway. This set of twins could not be more different in their little personalities. One outgoing and friendly while the other little one was much more cautious and quiet. They both however have amazing images from their session and I can’t wait for mom and family to see their gallery! Coming soon! 🙂 (tampa baby photographer)

Personality PLUS! (clearwater baby photographer)

(clearwater baby photographer) Oh MY goodness! This sweet thing turned on some serious personality for her first birthday session! She was SUCH a blast to have in the studio! I am sorry that this is her last session of the popular TGP New Beginnings Plan but I am sure (at least I hope) I will see her for many more sessions to come as she grows through the next few years. Smash cake birthday session move quickly as we usually have a couple outfits to get through before the smash cake. Every toddler is different…. in their reactions to the cake but must say, she wins the award for loving her cake the most! I think she would have sat infront of her cake all day if we would have let her. The mess did not bother her at all and she kept gobbling pieces of cake and frosting through out the whole time. I was cracking up as she never got tired of it. So, can you imagine all the pictures there are? I tried my best to narrow it down but just couldn’t stop sharing. There are so many more but I had to stop at some point. To mom and dad- I know you will miss this post until later in the week but email me for you gallery when you are ready! 🙂 Enjoy!

(clearwater baby photographer) I have been in first birthday/cake smash heaven lately! SOOOOO many one year olds in the studio lately! And they are all so much fun. This little one was no exception. She hammed it up for in all her birthday glory. (clearwater baby photographer)

(Tampa first birthday photographer) Oh my goodness! This sweet little thing was just adorable! We had so much fun at the park playing and then enjoying his smash cake/birthday cake to top it off! I got to see his sweet serious side for much of the session but dad hammed it up for him at the end we got some fun smiles to! Thank you to this awesome family for a fun night! Enjoy your sneak peak… I had a hard time narrowing them down to just a peak so there are a few extras as well! 🙂 (tampa first birthday photographer)

Happy 1st Birthday (palm harbor baby photographer)

Saturday, March 17, 2012Children, First birthday Sessionspalm harbor baby photographerTracy Gabbard

(palm harbor baby photographer) I am often asked to photograph events and although I do try to keep my weekends for my family I will photograph a few birthdays and special events per year. The event session includes the digital files and a beautiful custom designed CD case. I was lucky enough to be asked to to capture this little guy’s first birthday and it was a blast! He is part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan and I will be so sad after his last session which will be coming up soon. Complete with Kermit the Frog theme, everything was decked out in green and Kermit. I must say, even the Hershey’s kisses had a themed sticker on the bottom of them… the whole party was simply adorable! There are so many amazing images it was hard to choose so this post is full of pictures. (palm harbor baby photographer)

I had to inlcude the picture below! Grandpa lives far away and was not able to be there so nothing like “facetime” to bring him to the party! I think this is my favorite family photo! 🙂

Another New Beginning Plan Graduate :( (tampa baby photographer)

Wednesday, July 20, 2011Babies, First birthday Sessionstampa baby photographerTracy Gabbard

(tampa baby photographer) Oh…. these little babies grow so fast! This little one was so tiny and perfect when she was born. You can see her newborn blog post here. Now she is bigger but still perfect! It was not her finest day the day we had her smash cake session as she was a little under the weather but we still got some really good images and fun smash cake pictures! You could say she enjoyed her cake…. just a little bit! 🙂 (tampa baby photographer)

And this one is just for FUN…. what an outtake! I hope she wasn’t thinking of me! 🙂

Yummy! Cupcake smash! (clearwater childrens photographer)

(clearwater childrens photographer) Another graduation New Beginnings Plan member! 🙁 This little guy has been such a blessing and so much fun to watch grow throughout the year. His personality has helped make his sessions amazing. I have the hardest time narrowing down his images for a blog post and I always have a hard time with those smash cake sessions. The images from those are so fun and I always want to show them all. So, I did my best to make this a peak at his session but I think it’s more like a full view! Ha!
