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

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! 🙂

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!

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)

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.

Tracy Gabbard Photography Newborn Promo Video (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) I am so excited to share the new TGP promo video for newborn’s!  A special thank you to  Freddy with Final Shot Studios for the AMAZING job!  I was dreading being interviewed and being on camera but he made it easy and smooth and I love the results!  I would highly recommend him and Final Shot Studios for any type of video you are looking for. I am planning to do a few more in the future to give more info on other types of sessions and the New Beginnings Plan as well. We had a perfect little model for this special day and special “shout out” to her family for participating! I hope this video gives a little insight on how a newborn session goes at the TGP studio.  Leave some love if you like it… if you don’t keep it to yourself LOL! 🙂

Beautiful beach maternity (tampa maternity photographer)

(Tampa maternity photographer) Wow!  We sure lucked out with beautiful weather for this beach session.  This special couple is TGP’s newest member of the New Beginnings Plan.  Can you believe this mommy to be is due in just a couple short weeks!  She looks so amazing and so happy (daddy does to of course but I know it’s no secret that is is “all about mommy” during this time)! 🙂  We actually moved this session up a day early and it was pure luck that we did since the night we had originally scheduled ended up being one of the coldest nights of the year.  But this evening was absolutely perfect!  (tampa maternity photographer)

My New Beginnings Plan (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

    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

Happy Wednesday (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  I would say that at almost every newborn session that the baby smiles.  HOWEVER, I would also have to say that I almost NEVER have the camera in my hands at that time.  It is something I often say… I can just never catch those precious smiles that we all love!  I am hoping that this little smiler turns my luck around!  She smiled so much WHEN I ACTUALLY HAD THE CAMERA that I decided to post only smiling pictures of her!  She is the newest member of the New Beginnings Plan and I hope that all theses wonderful smiles carry through to all her sessions with TGP! 🙂  And I hope that these smiles make your hump day just that much better!  (tampa newborn photographer)

Dream baby (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) This little guy was soooo sleepy at his session.  At the end, when we really wanted a few awake shots mom got a tambourine toy from the TGP toy basket and started banging it loudly to wake him.  It did the job but it wasn’t easy… he was a “dream baby” for his session.  Here are just a VERY few peaks as his whole gallery is amazing.  He was so much fun!

Blessings… (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  Oooooo love this precious little one.  I know her family feels completed with her arrival.  She was the perfect little angle for her session.  She gave us some beautiful awake images in the beginning and then slept for the rest of the session.  LOVE her mommy’s prop of the book that is titled with her name.

So blessed (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  Ahhhhhh… I really wish I could share all the images in this families gallery.  They are beyond beautiful.  This darling little baby girl was so amazing for her session and I have a feeling she will continue to amaze her family everyday for many years to come.  I feel so blessed to be chosen to capture her first year for her family and to watch her grow this year as her family has chosen to participate in the TGP New Beginnings Plan.  I seriously can not wait to see her at each of her sessions and hope maybe mommy will plan a couple extra in there so that I can see her a little bit more 🙂  Hint, hint, mommy!

TGP Sitting Up Session from New Beginnings Plan (tampa baby photographer)

(tampa newborn baby photographer)  Oh what fun this busy little guy was!  When doing family photography, I can never decide which of the 3 sessions from the New Beginnings Plan is my favorite.  I of course love those newborns and at the “sitting up” sessions the babies are usually so happy. Then there is the forever popular smash cake sessions which are hilarious!  Instead of the traditional 6 month session I recommend doing a “sitting up session” when the babies are usually 7-8 months and you can really capture that next stage from the itty bitty baby they were just a few short months ago.  It is a really fun session.  Enjoy a sneak peak of this happy little guy!

Tampa baby photographer

(tampa newborn & baby photographer)  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her…. so many newborns in the next few months.  I think this might be the end of my girls streak though… 🙁  New Beginning Plan members coming up soon are expecting boys, who are just as lovable and amazing just no girlie headbands of course.  If you know mommies who are expecting a baby anytime soon send them to TGP for information on the popular TGP New Beginnings Plan or if they choose just a newborn photography session.  I am already scheduling into April and spaces are limited.  Anyway, this little girl was absolutely precious.  I loved sharing this special time with her and her family.

Party! (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) PARTY was what this ADORABLE little one wanted to do her whole session!  She didn’t want to miss a thing!  She did give in after awhile though and once those bright eyes closed we were able to keep her asleep for all the fun posing and props mommy wanted to use.  Thank you to this very patient family for the extra days waiting for their gallery as their photographer (yes, thats me :)) had some computer issues that held up their sneak peak and gallery!

Purity at it’s best… (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  So, as promised here are some images from an amazing newborn session.  This little guy will have his next session in the TGP New Beginnings Plan in just a few short months and I can not wait to see how much he has grown and how his personality has developed.  He was so laid back and sleepy at his newborn session.  I wonder if he has that same personality now.  It is always a fun surprise to find out!

Just a couple recent “pumpkins” in the studio…. (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) Thought these images were perfectly appropriate for todays tricks and treats!  Both of these families are part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan so I will be lucky enough to see them many times through out the next year!  Anyway, enjoy these two little pumpkins… they were certainly a treat in the studio at their sessions!  (tampa newborn photographer)

 

 

Awake beauty… (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer) I know from this post it looks like this little angel slept almost the entire time BUT I have to say she was the most calm awake baby I have ever photographed.  She was awake A LOT but she would lay just how I put her with her BIG bright eyes.  She was truly beautiful and amazing to photograph.  She started crying at the very end but who can blame her, I mean I was leaving! 🙂  I can’t wait for her next session! As I adjust to a new more part time summer schedule I have to thank this new mommy and daddy for being patient waiting for their sneak peak and gallery.  I hope it was worth the wait! 🙂  (tampa newborn photographer)

Spring baby (tampa newborn photographer)

(tampa newborn photographer)  It was such a nice warm day for this little guy’s photo session.  He slept almost the whole time with a few breaks for some food…. he has to keep those little leg and arm rolls full of course!  I love my job…. I mean, who wouldn’t love playing with these babies all the time?  They are all so amazing and such a reminder of how precious the newborn time is.  Especially since it fly’s by so fast and before you know it, its gone! 🙁  This family is part of the TGP New Begininngs Plan that will take him with sessions all the way up through the first birthday.  It is one of the best investments you can make as these families will have priceless portraits forever to remember help remember this special, crazy, sleepless time!  (tampa newborn photographer)

Dream land (well, almost:)) Tampa newborn photographer

So, when this tampa mom called me to chat about a newborn session these were a few of her questions… “can you come to my home on a ranch?, can we incorporate a saddle?, can older brother be in  a few images because they have matching wrangler shirts?, I have some newborn hats, can we use them? I love the outside images, can we use the ranch land?” ….. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YES, YES and YES!  I LOVE outside newborn sessions, I love beautiful land (what photographer doesn’t), I love family props (especially saddles :)) and I love newborn hats and accessories!  Dream session….. So, how did this session go? Well, we had a baby that just WAS NOT tired which makes for a much longer session for family, it was chilly outside so we could only shoot a couple outside, newly older brother would not participate in ANY pictures unless the saddle was involved and his brother was NOT in them (typical two year old) so, dream session…. STILL came out dreamy!  LOVE these images and although it was impossible to create all the ideas I had for all the reasons above it was still a wonderful experience meeting this family helping to create lasting memories.  To this special family- I hope you enjoy your sneak peak…. I know your little one has already changed so much in these couple short weeks!

Speechless… (tampa newborn photographer)

There are no words to explain this baby and his peacefulness.  He slept the entire session and continued to sleep even after we were done.  These proud parents (and visiting grandparents) were so proud and easy going.  It was a joy to meet them and share in their joy.  As I always, I love when families incorporate important heirlooms or special keepsakes into their sessions.  It makes the sessions that much more special and the images have special meaning.  This new daddy and his own dad share three generation wedding rings.  They really wanted to show this so with some tricky maneuvering we were able to get some wonderful images.  AND to top it off, right at the end of the session dad says “do you think we could do anything with my mustang?”  DO YOU THINK?  OF COURSE… twist my arm!  Ha! 🙂  I only included one sneak peak of that amazing, fun prop.  Newborn sessions are not always this easy, not every baby sleeps like this but you have the best chance if you have your babies session with in 5 days of birth.  This family is part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan that will take them up through the babies first birthday with sessions. I can’t wait to see this little guy again!

Newborn session (tampa newborn photographer)

Wow!  This little guy was not tired while I visited but we worked on his schedule and got some great images for mom and dad to cherish.  They are part of the TGP New Beginnings Plan which takes your precious little one through their first birthday with photo sessions.  It is a wonderful plan for new moms and dads as they change so much in the first year.  It is a wonderful gift as well if you are looking for something that will last a lifetime for that special baby on the way.  Many dads surprise the new mommy to be and grandparents often give this plan as a gift as well.

Preciousness! (tampa, clearwater newborn photographer)

Okay~I had the hardest time narrowing down these images for a blog post but considering what happened on our first try at the session I am adding in a few extras for mom and dad!  What happened you asked? 🙂  Well, while holding this precious baby I reached into my car and dislocated my shoulder (old injury)!  I had not even taken any pictures yet!  I did however, keep the baby safe in my other arm! The worst part… I could not get my shoulder “back in” so I had to drive myself to the ER for a little help!  Yes, embarrassing!  I guess it will be a good story for her baby book!  We did get in a VERY successful rescheduled session as you will see and this family is participating in the TGP New Beginnings Plan so I will be lucky enough to photograph her several more times throughout the her first year!  I already can’t wait to see her next time!
