Tampa birthday photographer

My sweet friend Nicole recently turned 30 and we celebrated with a backyard photo session! It was so much fun! I love that she took the time and energy to have this special milestone captured. A 30 & Fabulous sash, tiara, flowers, champagne, balloons and a cake were the perfect accessories for Nicole’s birthday photos. Her sweet little daughter joined us for a few photos, too! Loved this photo session, I would love to do more birthday celebration sessions in the future!

Happy 30th Birthday, Nicole!

Tampa small business owner

I am so excited to share my sweet friend, Samantha, on the blog today! You might recognize her as the gorgeous bride in this Honeymoon Island elopement from last year. Loooved their beautiful, intimate wedding! Samantha is the owner and creative genius of DJG Creations. She specializes in creating custom shirts, tumbler cups, keychains and so much more. She has created a few adorable t-shirts for James and a matching set of tank tops for my sister and I for a recent Backstreet Boys concert. She’s also made a perfectly glittered tumbler cup with my photography logo on it, a fire truck tumbler for James and a beautiful glitter and watercolor floral cup for my sister. If you have a vision, Samantha can help create it and make it on a cup, shirt or more! She is so talented and I love to see the new creations that she makes! I had the privilege of photographing Samantha for some new branding photos for her business. I love that she brought a few of her favorite cups to show off. SO pretty!! We also took a few pictures of Samantha and her adorable son in their matching t-shirts. 

If you are local to Tampa, you can pick up your products from Samantha in the Westchase area. If you’re not local, she ships her products!! Check her out on Facebook here and on Instagram here.  So proud of you, Sam!

I had so much fun photographing the Wackes family for their mini session a few months ago! We are in the same life group at church and get together every Sunday for dinner and fellowship with a few other couples (well, we do it on zoom calls now. Can’t wait to see them again in person hopefully soon!). Their daughter, Tiffany,  is such a little model! Thanks, Kelly and Christian, for the opportunity to photograph your sweet family!

Look at this adorable family! The Hudson family have been in front of my camera not only once, not twice but FIVE times! From their beach wedding at the Sirata Resort in St Pete, to maternity photos when they were expecting their first baby, to their sweet baby girl’s newborn session and two more family sessions. I have loved watching their family grow and documenting their milestones! Kristin and Kevin are now expecting their second baby, a little boy! Enjoy their family photos from their mini session at Philippe Park this past Fall.

Tampa Gender Reveal Photography

My sweet friends Kate and Brandon are expecting a baby this summer! They are already parents to adorable two year old Jude and he can’t wait to be a big brother! We met at a local park for their exciting gender reveal photo session!! Kate brought along a few props and a pink and blue smoke stick. I had the honor (and big responsibility!) of opening the envelope from their ultrasound and handing them the matching colored stick. Ahh… are they having a boy or girl?? Once the stick was lit, smoke started to pour out and Jude was a mix of surprised and scared, then… blue! It’s a boy!! So excited for their family!

Kate, you are such a wonderful mama. Love going through this motherhood journey with you!

I’ve had the privilege of photographing Jessica, Steve and Olivia a handful of times, including maternity photos on the beach, a newborn session for tiny Olivia, and an extended family session.

Shlok – Tampa Newborn Photography

Westchase Family Photographer

Welcome to the world, baby Shlok! I photographed this beautiful mama’s maternity session while Shlok was still growing in her belly. They chose to do their maternity session right in their backyard around sunset. The pretty light and a blossoming tree was the perfect backdrop! I met them again a little later for their in-home, lifestyle family newborn session and it was such a great time. Their two boys are adorable! We got photos of tiny newborn details, big brother playing with Dad, overjoyed grandparents and lots of sweet family time.

Claire’s Newborn Session

Tampa newborn photographer

Here she is… our beautiful daughter! Little Claire Amelia was born on January 14th and just a week later (on her due date), we got in front of the camera with my talented friend Laura Foote for our in-home newborn session. My goal for the session was “relaxed and cozy” and I think Laura captured that perfectly. It was such a treat to be on the other side of the camera during a newborn session with MY family! My handsome husband, our big boy toddler and our brand new baby girl. It was such a wonderful morning (once James decided to cooperate… our session started with tears and Laura used her magic to bring out his sweetest smiles) and I’m so thankful to have these images as a keepsake of our little girl as a newborn. Thank you so so much for these images, Laura! You are the best!!
