First session of the New Year!

Welcome Baby MMC! I was so honored to capture these first images of you and your beautiful family! You were just perfect during the session- your two brothers were great too!

I have so many new fun props to use for newborn sessions! I have two new gorgeous benches, one new group posing prop, and some great Valentines Day fun items for your personalized Valentines Day Cards.

Valentines Day: Fur, Snap, Love Sessions!

Yep- it is only January 2nd, and I already have my wheels spinning about Valentines Day Cards! For the past few years, I have made personalized Valentines Day Cards for my children with my dog Carl so .... I thought that I would offer you a chance to do the same (with your own pet unless you want Carl in the picture since he would love this too). One of the graphic designers that I used for my holiday cards is making my own set of private designs, and I have some amazing new props! Please schedule your Fur, Snap & Love session before January 31st. The price is $50.00 for a 30 minute session + 25 personalized cards (I promise you will not find a deal like this anywhere else). Refer a friend and get a free 5x7 or 8 wallets. I will be donating a portion of my proceeds from The Fur, Snap & Love sessions to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay!

Happy New Year!!!!!

I cannot believe that today is the last day 2008! Seriously, where did this year go? As I sit here this morning, and reflect back on the past 365 days, I just have to smile. For those of you that have come into my life for the past three years since I opened my business, and for those of you that have been in my life since before I "pursued my dream", I thank you for all of your support, love and constant shoulders to lean on! I thank God for all of his amazing miracles (my husband just had to hear this one more time), the love of my family and of course the warm heart felt hugs that I get from my children (especially Carl, my number one dog). I know that I fell short on my goal this year of posting my sessions- I started my 2008 October through December days at 4:00am (yes, this is in the morning), and I still could not find the time to post. I will try to do better in 2009. So a very quick review of 2008-
Over 450 sessions this year (eek- what was I thinking)
1/2 marathon completed in 1:49 (got 30th in division)
5 triathlons- finished at least top 5 in all(down from 8 tri's in 2007- I wonder why)
5k quick run (got third in age group)
74 family holiday card orders completed
two trips to Disney's Ft. Wilderness
100+ nights of Guitar Hero (just awesome)
50+ cannon balls into our new pool
10 flag football games watching the future Tim Tebow (so proud of you Dawson)
365 days of hugs and kisses from David, Dawson, Dylan and Carl
one speeding ticket (who knew that a "mom mobile" could go 85 in a 35?)
one long plane trip to Maryland with two children
Many more memories from everyone in my life! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

November 16th 11-4 Holiday Shopping + Santa Pics

I wanted to let you all know that I will be at Let Them Eat Cake (Westshore Blvd) Nov 16th from 11-4. I have 22 mom vendors selling amazing holiday gifts.

I will be taking Hanukkah pictures and Santa Pictures with kids making cookies! A portion of the sales will go to the Glazer Children's Museum. The cost is $50.00 for cookies, photos, and best of all you get the digital image to use for your holiday cards (I have holiday cards too). Please email me for a session time since I am booking up very quickly. This is going to be a great shopping event so please tell your friends!

My Little Pumpkin!

Thank you Baby "A" for these amazing photographs! I love the Halloween costume, but I also think you are the cutest "Clam" that I have ever seen! You were the perfect baby today!

Hanukkah backdrop is here!

I am so excited about my new backdrop! I credit my mother-n-law for the inspiration to have a local artist paint the only Hanukkah backdrop in the United States! Thank you "D" family for allowing me the chance to honor your family by posing in front of it! Hanukkah starts December 22nd this year!

I've Made The Cover!

So it has been one month since my last blog- I am so sorry! I wanted to share some amazing news with everyone- my picture made the front cover of The Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine! Not sure if it was my photography skills since my "model" is the cutest thing ever! Thank you Angela for honoring me by posting my print, and thank you Katie from Silly Dilly Tot Spot for the great Halloween Costume! More blogs to come- stay tuned!
