Spring Fun - Tampa Bay Photographer

Well, my "slow" season is officially over and the next few weeks are packed.  That means I'll be much better about updating pictures on here and on my facebook page.  Here's a quick one from some fun playing time with my 3 kids the other day.  Check back soon for more!

Birthday Portraits - St. Petersburg, FL Photographer

So, last year my second daughter Evie Joy had a big ballerina birthday party.  You can see the pictures here.  This year we went to Disney for her birthday, but I stuggled on what to do for her 4 year old birthday pictures.  I didn't really want to do ballet again, but the more I thought about it the more I knew we HAD to do another ballet themed shoot.  The girl is OBSESSED.  She dances all day, every day.  She takes ballet, talks about ballet, watches ballet, etc, etc.  Her Nana made her this amazing Clara dress this year for her birthday because The Nutcracker is her favorite.  She also made her Clara's long nightgown.  They are beautiful. 

I edited these photos with a lump in my throat.  How can she be so big?  How can her little face be sooooo sweet?  I love you so much Evie Joy.  More than you could ever possibly know.  Thank you for being my sweet, tiny, perfect little baby girl.

I had the chance to photograph these sweet sisters recently.  Sibling love is so much fun to capture.

Oh man it's been a long time since I've blogged!!!  Life is finally getting back to normal after the holidays, so I promise I'll be better.  :-)  Here's a quick one of my sweet daughter Evie Joy during her 4 year old session.  Can't wait to show more!

February is the month of Love.

But its also the month to wear my favorite color palette out.

If I could wear pink and red together every day I would.

My closet just doesn't have that much red.

It is stocked up with pinks of all shades, but I will have to work on picking up some staples for February.

Needless to say I enjoyed putting this Valentines Day outfit together for your upcoming photo shoot.

To have an outfit of love was what this cupid was going for.

The girls are a bit dressy and the guys are dressed down. 

Which is pretty much how a lot of date nights go.

At least in our house.

To add a bit of fun to your whimsy love to your photo shoot you could bring with you some heart bunting, chalkboard sign to write love notes on, or some 

big paper hearts to hold.

Happy 2013!

Here is a fun printable you can do with kids to see what their favorites were in 2012.  It’s fun to do together and you will be able to look back at the end of this year (or years to come) to see how things have changed. You can put it in a photo album or scrapbook. It’s adapted from one at likeaprettypetunia.blogspot.com. 

Hope you like it! Click here for the free printable.  Happy New Year!
