Just Hanging From Bamboo (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Just gotta love nature! I know I keep on repeating myself, but we have some really cool things to hang babies from in Tampa! I got this bamboo stick from my backyard! This image is a display print that I just put up at The Royal Tea Room. If you have not had the chance to visit The Royal Tea Room in South Tampa, it is the perfect place for Baby Showers and Bridal Showers and well.... just an afternoon tea! Have a great weekend everyone! If you find yourself incredibly bored on Sunday AM, come out and support me as I do the St. Anthony's Triathlon (my 4th year). I raised over $500.00 for the charity wave this year to support Autism!

Mother's Day 2010 (Tampa Family Photographer)

Oh yes, the most wonderful holiday of the year is soon approaching. It's the day when mom's can sleep in, have breakfast made for them, take a nap without feeling guilty and just get a ton of hugs from their children. I wanted to celebrate this day with a great May special. Mom's get a 1/2 hour session plus three mini accordion albums for $80.00 (I call them mini brag books). I cannot begin to tell you how many moms tell me that they are always behind the camera instead of in front of it. Please take a look at my ad above, and be sure to book your Mother's Day Special Session! This is also a great time to remind your husbands that flowers last about one week (probably less in my house if the rabbit gets to them), but photographs last a lifetime!

An amazing start to Spring! (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

I am a Florida native so when I think of Spring- I think of blooming azaleas, warmer weather and the oh so dreaded pollen! The month of March and April was quite challenging for everyone in Tampa- watery eyes and stuffed noses were very pervasive. I wanted to take advantage of some of the beautiful flowers that Spring has to offer so take a look at this image of Baby S- just fantastic! I credit myself to being a "lefty" so I am constantly thinking outside of the box- check back for more fun images like this!

Welcome Baby L (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

I promise to post more images of these amazing newborns! I seriously do not know where the time goes when I am at the studio. I tell myself everyday that I need to post the super fun images that I am taking, but when I look up, it is time for me to head home! I have been going on-location a lot lately which is good- it gets me out of my comfort zone, and I am amazed at what great natural light images I can get. If you know of anyone that has had a baby recently, April is my free photo session month so please have them contact me!

Stayed tuned for more images..... don't forget Mother's Day is right around the corner! Check my blog tomorrow for my Mom's Club Ad!

Cover For The Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine (Tampa Child Photographer)

Sorry, it has been way too long since I have posted anything. I just got back from the Disney Cruise (it was just awesome by the way), and I realized how far behind I have gotten with my blog! I was honored to have the cover of Tampa Bay Parenting for April! This image was shot at The Bloom Garden Center. Grace and Trixie were my models. You have seen Trixie before since she is the super model extraordinaire! She was the dog that was filmed last year for TLC (I was the lucky photographer to be on national TV with her). I wanted to let you all know that I will be at Seedlings next month on May 15th for the Third Annual Baby Shower event! It is going to be huge so please bring all of your friends with baby bumps with you! Since half of April is almost over, please make sure you tell all of the newborns out there about my April special! Bring your own branch, get ready to hang and get a free one hour newborn session! This is for new clients only!

B.Y.O.B. Newborn Sessions (Tampa Newborn Photographer)

Gotta love this title right? Well it is something that I have been working on for awhile. It is not Bring Your Own Baby, but actually Bring Your Own Branch! I have had a lot of clients walk through the door at my studio asking me to hang their babies during the past year. My marketing attempts have paid off! The image at Silly Dilly Tot Spot, and my marketing cards have a very cute newborn hanging from a branch. In the past week, I have had such a great time hanging newborns from crazy branches. I have been a nature lover since birth so this time of year is the perfect time to bring in your favorite branch! There are some really incredible branches out there with fresh Spring Flowers! Last week, I hung a newborn from a fresh bamboo stalk in which the image is awesome- it will be on display next week at The Royal Tea Room! My ad for Tampa Bay Parenting for April (eek- is it really April already) will give a free one hour session to any newborn 7 days or younger. This is for first time clients only. So come "hang out" with Caroline and myself at the studio- just remember to bring your "super funky" branches! Please email me with your due date (you C-section mamas give me five days after your C-section date). Can't wait to meet you! Please tell your cute belly friends about my special! I will have some really cool images on display at The Seedlings Baby Shower event on May 15th so stop on by!
