Sambo is famous and I am published!

I have had the pleasure, for the past two years, working with the owner of Downtown Dogs in Hyde Park. Rene is another amazing woman that I am constantly inspired by! She sent me some great news yesterday about her parent's dog, Sambo. He won a "Best Smile" contest from a session that I had done of him. Check out the front page of: http://www.thebark.com/- Sambo is the black lab with yes, the amazing smile. You can also see a big canvas of this image in her store at Downtown Dogs, and on her website: www.shopdowntowndogs.com - buy something fun- your four legged child will love you for it! Have a great weekend everyone!

Birth Announcements + Valentines Day Cards







I wanted to post these projects that I have worked on the past few days. Since I did over 80 of my clients' holiday cards this year (and not a second to post any of them), I thought I would share these. I love my templates- especially since you can do a double sided card which most companies do not offer. My cards are very inexpensively priced since the biggest compliment to my business is when a client sends out my work to their friends and family members!

St. Mary's Auction


My oldest son attends St. Mary's Episcopal Day School (Pre K-4 through 8th grade), and we are hosting our auction on March 7th. I am one of the auction committee members in which I am soliciting for silent auction items. If you are interested in donating, please send me an email! The child's golf cart is an item that myself and Silly Dilly Tot Spot are donating. Since Carl could not fit in the golf cart, I thought this image still captured the spirit of "The Game".

The Silver Diva!










With my photography business, I get to meet a ton of really cool people and pets. Sometimes I am completely knocked off of my feet by some really neat "Mom Chicks" in which Roz is definitely one of them. I am a huge supporter of the "Mom Businesses" since I am one of them. I was able to get her to come and be a vendor at the Palma Ceia United Methodist Church with extreme temperatures- only a super cool chick could do this! Please take a look at her awesome website (yes, she makes all of this by hand and has children hanging off of her hips like we all do). Love the booty (pirate stuff that is). Check out her website at: http://www.thesilverdiva.com/

George The Amazing Pig







So by now, hopefully you know that I love photographing animals so when George came in to my studio yesterday I was super excited! It has always been a dream of mine to own a pig so the chance to photograph George was awesome! He was the perfect little guy- his parents came armed with a bag of cheerios. My own children now want one in which my husband politely told George's parents that we had one in the fridge (nice huh- I guess I should not have made a ham the night before). Enjoy the pictures- love my new Valentines Day heart? I have more props, and only two spots left for January 31st. I have booked 18 sessions- can't wait!

Thank you Florida Sun!


I absolutely LOVE beach photography! Although I have spent a lot of money in creating the perfect studio lights in my two studios in South Tampa, there is still something to be said for the light that shines on us everyday! I loved working with this family- this image is from one of the gallery canvas wraps that they ordered.

Just amazing! Thanks for being just you!

Kooky Kidz- Great Pirate Booty!




I have had the great pleasure working with Staci Brum for the past year. She opened her Kooky Kidz business in 2008. What is Kooky Kidz you ask? It is fun, hip & trendy clothing for "kidz" with great prices! Check out her Pirate stuff- she also has really cool mom clothing! Her website is: wwwkookykidzonline.com - tell her I sent you!
