The Cutest Newborn Photography Session Of The Day ♥

Babies, , , , , , , , , , , ,

The studio got filled up with cuteness to the very top when this little girl and her loving parents contacted Tracy Gabbard for a very heartwarming Newborn photo session.

They are a lovely couple who are very in love with their new daughter and decided that it was the best time to capture this beautiful time in their lives.

We gathered some of the photos from this session so you better be prepared to have your heart melted in 3…2…1!

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

Top Reasons Why Family Is Important & Family Sessions with Tracy Gabbard

Family, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Dive into our gallery to check out Tracy’s Family sessions. We gathered some of them for you to see how heartwarming they all are. She is one of the top best photographers in the Tampa Bay area.

There are many reasons why family is the most important thing you will ever have:

  1. Your family is made of individuals that draw out the best in you. In spite of the fact that you can’t pick your family, they are the ones you can identify with the most. They are the general population who are continually giving a shout out to you and really need the best for you.
  2. Family is the absolute most essential impact in a child’s life. From their first snapshots of life, youngsters rely upon guardians and family to ensure them and accommodate their necessities. Guardians and family shape a child’s first connections.
  3. They are a little one’s first instructors and go about as good examples in the proper behavior and how to encounter their general surroundings. By supporting and showing children amid their initial years, families assume a vital part in ensuring kids are prepared to realize when they enter school.
  4. Children flourish when guardians can effectively advance their positive development and improvement. Each parent realizes that it’s occasionally hard to do this imperative work without help, bolster, and extra assets.
  5. Parents can show kids about feelings by giving them particular feeling words to portray their emotions. Studies demonstrate that marking emotions with words diminishes misery and makes it more outlandish than an irate individual will follow up on his or her outrage. Words enable us to make the move from responding to reacting.”

Tracy is a very family oriented photographer and she cares immensely about her clients and their bond as a family. She makes sure the best memories are kept forever in every session and express their feelings through every photograph.

Time To Sit Up! These Babies Will Melt Your Heart

Babies, Sitting up sessions, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Babies are capable of doing many things on their own, like learning to sit up. When your baby sits up depends a lot on your baby and how their motor skills are progressing. Scroll down for your daily dose of cuteness overload!

Ready…

Set….

Sit Up! + Best Friend, Of Course

His dog is absolutely proud, look at those smiley faces. Absolutely adorable. When a baby can hold their head up and roll from front to back, sitting is definitely on the horizon. However, some babies get the crawling (army crawl) bug before the sitting bug. 

Each baby is different, but typically babies learn to sit up between 4 and 8 months, some babies take as long as 9 months to fully get it or more. It sometimes seems like your baby will never stop needing an arm to hold themselves up and then all of a sudden they are sitting up perfectly!

Look, mom! No hands!

Watching a baby figure out sitting up is wonderful to watch. Because every baby is different, there is no standard position a baby uses to sit up. 

And by the way, that’s enough sitting up for the day, he is now busy playing with his favorite toys. Happy Friday!

Tracy is passionate about creating wall art, legacy albums and personalized keepsakes for her families.  Although she believes digital files are important for archival purposes her mission is to guide you through the process of enjoying your treasures in your home and not on your computer.  That is why she will assist you at your gallery reveal to help you design the perfect products for your home.  Individual products start at 150.00 and the average client invests around 750.00 to 3500.00 on their forever keepsakes.

It’s that time of the year to get your summer dresses on! 

Summer is for many reasons the best time of the year. It’s warm outside, the school vacation, and the endless fun. You are able to enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities.

During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school.

Summertime is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together, it is also the best time of the year to take beautiful pictures at the park and around nature in general.

I love the hot and humid days that makes you want to dive into a fresh and cold pool. When summertime starts, you can wear lighter clothes, which are much more comfortable. 

And even if you really don’t like the summer, you can always join Tracy at her wonderful studio, where you don’t really have to deal with the sun and the warm weather, but you can still enjoy a summer themed photoshoot if you like.

5 Reasons To Invest on Newborn Photography Today!

Newborns, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Becoming a parent is a blessing and a great time to celebrate life. One of the biggest reasons to invest in Newborn Photography is to take into consideration the fact that time goes by very fast and babies grow and change every day, so fast that we don’t even notice, you blink once or twice, and they are bigger, taller and you are left out wishing you had a better memory for the rest of your life.

1. The time that won’t come back:

Sure, you can take pictures with your phone or tablet, but no quality can be compared to the professional studio high-end quality photography that we can offer at our studio.

2. The value of an unforgettable memory that you can touch and feel.

One thing that a professional photo session can bring, is that incredible and perfect finish that reflects love and emotions captivated in one photograph. You will end up with a collection of incredibly beautiful pictures of your child and you can choose to hang them on the wall with beautiful frames, have a book with a collection of them, and many other physical forms.

3. Professional, stress-free delivery.


Especially for the mother, the first weeks after becoming a mom can be very tough on the mother, and dealing with stress, developing a new routine and life in general, can be exhausting. At the same time, your baby is still growing and changing as you go. Having a professional taking care of the memories is just stress-free and an overall warming experience.

4. Creativity


The beauty of Newborn Photography remains in the ability to capture the expressions of the baby and at the same time, mixing it with a theme or creative ideas. Not too long ago, Tracy had a beautiful baby whose middle name is Rose and of course, some beautiful pink roses were the best props for the pictures. There are simply countless ideas to make the photos unique and special.

5. Safety


It takes a mother to know how to treat a baby or children in general. Tracy is a mother of two, and it’s her passion to interact with the little ones. She takes care of them and makes sure the experience is free of stress for the baby, children as well as the parents involved. It is truly a unique experience.

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

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)
