Childhood In Spring. {Anabella & Sofia} :: Tampa Children's Photographer

I have been meaning to post these photos out into the inter-world.  This session was SO special to me.  My sister-in-law wanted images to match her daughter's newly designed bedroom.  She had a huge wall to fill.  Sooooo... we chose outfits to complement the colors of the room and my WONDERFUL husband drew amazing chalk drawings all over our circular driveway.  It was full of all things childhood: rainbows, hearts, flowers, smiley, animals---along with labels and the word "love" in several languages. Perfect.


Finally, I color processed the photos to complement the feel that my sister-in-law wanted. Here is what we came up with!

Love. This. Family!

This family was more than fun to work with, because the handsome red-head is my former second grade student! They are such a funny and loving family, and I think it comes out in the photos. I also did headshots for little cutie, Mr. B. :) He has grown up so much since he was the shy little student I taught! And, his sister Miss M. is amazingly cute! You look at her and she just laughs and laughs. If only the sun wasn't beating down so strongly, I would have had even more photos! Oh well, what can you do... I live in Florida! Hopefully Fall will show itself sometime soon and I can start shooting clients in sweaters...

Family. Pool. Veggie Burgers. :: Tampa Family Photographer ::

Today we are going to my mother's house for a fun-filled day of swimming and eating. Mmmmmmmm......eating. I'm going to enjoy the *smell* of barbequed meat and the taste of veggie burgers. I've been commisioned to take a mini photo shoot of all the kids together. Let's see if I can get them to all look at me at the same moment! We've instructed them to all wear (obviously) red, white, and/or blue, or plaid of some sort. How American of us!

Fun with Tutus! :: Tampa Children's Photographer ::

Yesterday I did an impromptu dress-em-up photo shoot with my beautiful nieces. It was indoors during a rain storm with just horrible overhead lights. Despite all of this, the pics actually came out great! I'm editing them now, so I'll post a preview of the shoot so far... (Let me know what you think!)
