Motherhood: A Unique And Wonderful Journey + Mom & Baby Heart Melting Photos

Babies, Maternity, , , , , ,

Let’s talk about that red, invisible thread that will always connect a mother to her baby and how we capture it through Maternity Photography.

It’s an eternal promise of love, an unbreakable bridge, the ultimate proof of love.

Pregnancy is the miracle of life and when the newborn arrives, it’s a before and after in the lives of millions of people in the world every single day.

Today we want to take a moment to show you how expressive these pictures are. And how immensely powerful a mother’s love can warm up our hearts and be kept in our memories forever.

You can see it and almost feel it in the way each woman holds her baby.

They are all different women, coming from different backgrounds, different stories and cultures, but they all share the same kind of love that only motherhood can bring to life.

Today we want to wish you an outstanding Friday and wanted to share with you some of the most beautiful pictures we have gathered from different photo sessions.

Tracy is a mother and she knows how deep they feel about their children, she offers a unique service to help families watch their children grow in front of the camera with a variety of packages that will fit your family’s needs.

And this is one of the favorite poses for every mom that comes in the studio, because especially when they are super small, they fit in their arms and they feel so warm and fuzzy. Plus it definitely reflects how similar mother and baby can look like. 

And as they grow up, they start learning how to crawl and sit up before they walk and run around like crazy. It’s definitely a beautiful moment that every mother wants to capture. 

Contact Tracy for more information about photo sessions, she is always available to answer your questions, have a happy weekend!

Aaahh, newborns…. ♥ ♥ ♥

There are few things in this world that can be compared to the beauty and fragility feeling that a newborn can bring to your heart.

They are just dependent of our love, care and affection. And for the luckiest babies, we have families that want to capture the first few days after the arrival of the new member of the family.

Newborn Photography is unique in a way, that cannot be replaced by anything else. You can always have a Family photo session, or a Maternity photo session, but the magic of the Newborn photo sessions resides in that small window of time when the baby is its tiniest size.

It’s a time that parents and family want to remember forever.

Tracy Gabbard has a special love for the little ones,  they are so soft and fuzzy, they must be treated with care. There are special safety procedures that not all photographers are aware of, but she knows all of them. Your baby will be  in the best hands.

She loves having fun at the studio, moving them into heartwarming poses and even into funny and creative ones with props and a variety of furniture and even costumes.

Sometimes families have special stories to share with Tracy and she helps them portray them into the photography session so that later in life, they can tell a story. Even when she uses some soft pieces of cloths with different textures, the newborns are so tiny, you can see the details in the fabric and it’s just captivating.

We celebrate the miracle of life and create a high-end finished product that can be printed or hung on the wall, there are many ways you can express your love for your baby. Check out Tracy’s featured products and decide the best way you can invest for your family.

The Beauty Of Pregnancy + Beautiful Maternity Photography by Tracy Gabbard

Babies, Family, Maternity, , , , , , ,

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!

This family decided to break the routine and get outdoors with one of the top photographers in Tampa Bay; Tracy Gabbard.

This maternity session was so much fun with such a sweet family. They were so excited to meet their new baby but started early so they could capture the beauty of pregnancy. It was a beautiful day with just the perfect weather. All the way to the sunset, they went for a walk and found really beautiful spots for their photo session. 

Beach maternity sessions create the most precious memories from that special time in their lives, they were so much fun to work with and laughed through the entire session in such a positive photo shoot. Tracy was very excited to capture all their emotions and the love between them.

The beginning of a new chapter in your life is always one filled with joy, excitement and most of all, anticipation.  With the arrival of a new baby, chances are, you will spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on baby furniture, clothes, and even toys.  And while many of these things are necessary, almost all of them will at some point be re-sold, given away or even tossed in the trash.  What will you keep forever?  The priceless images you invested in throughout the years your baby grows.  Professional, timeless, quality images are not something to be taken lightly.  These will be your memories that will be passed down and valued for your lifetime and your baby’s.

Don’t miss your opportunity to capture these beautiful memories for your family, contact Tracy’s studio today for a free consultation.

Tracy also provides photography services in the studio and offers a variety of packages for families, newborns, babies, children, and families, including her First Year Plan which captures the first milestones of the first year of a baby.

The Beauty Of Pregnancy

Miscellaneous, , , , ,

One of the most beautiful stages in the cycle of life: Maternity.

When two humans decide to become one and fusion their love and passion into a new soul, bringing a fresh, beautiful and young creature to the world we live in. 

This beautiful family joined Tracy at her studio to capture the magic that takes place before the new family member arrives.

Deeply in love, they showed their most romantic poses in front of the camera and captured one of the most important moments in their lives.

She feels happy and excited, waiting for her baby to join the family. It’s one of those experiences that can only be explained once gone through it. The majestic gift of maternity.

Mother and daughter don’t hesitate to show love and affection, proving that their bond is strongest than ever.

Even before being born, it has been proven that babies can feel their parent’s vibes and emotions, so parents can start showing their love and even talk to them from the very earliest stages in life.

Love is a beautiful bond to celebrate. For those who find their other half and that person who compliments their lives, we invite you to come into Tracy’s studio and capture that magic. It is special and you can make it last forever.

This plan is exclusive to the Tampa Bay area and provides families with priceless memories during that treasured first year. Everyone knows how fast that first-year flys by. The New Beginnings Plan makes it easy to capture those precious milestones during that first year. It is exhilarating, amazing, exhausting but yet cherished and wonderful. The New Beginnings Plan makes it easy to capture those precious first milestones during the first year.

My New Beginnings Plan (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Babies, Family, Newborns, , , ,

    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
