One Hot "Silly Dilly" Mama

Not an ounce of Dilly Dally in this hot mama! Katie is the amazing owner of Silly Dilly Tot Spot, and Wow is she fantastic! I met her two years ago, and my life was changed instantly. Why do you ask? Meet her and you will also be captivated by her stories, laugh and a true thirst for life. This image will be appearing in the next Skirt Magazine issue- check out Katie's website at:

Just had to share these!

So it is not very often that I can photograph my "three" boys since I am always doing sessions of other client's children. Well... here are a few of my favorites!

I have already ordered and framed them- yes, there are on my walls!

Enjoy!

Pet and Kids at Giggle Box

My first fundraiser for the Human Society of Tampa will be on Saturday, January 31st, from 9-2. The location is Giggle Box on Bay to Bay Blvd. For $25.00 you will get one 8x10 or two 5x7's. This is a fantastic time to have personalized Valentines Day Cards made for your kids! Check out my 50+ templates on my home page. I hope to see you all there! Tons of props- even my new extra extra large hearts! Please email me to book your 15 minute session. Please hurry since sessions are booking fast!

Bring on the Pirates!

I just had to share this image. I have submitted it to the local paper hoping that they can use it. I bet you can only imagine how challenging this was to capture!

Another photographer friend of mine told me that I was getting away from my creative so this one is for him!

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!
