A Family Spring Session | Riverview Family Photographer

I was so excited to meet up with one of my FAVORITE FAMILIES recently for a Spring session.  I can't get over how much the kids have grown since the last time I saw them! Little man C was so fun!!! He has the most handsome smile and made the BEST silly faces!!! And pretty little D, she will always have a super special place in my heart... she was my very first newborn when I started up years ago. Seriously, how delicious are these guys??? The kids look like they just hopped out of a Gymboree ad? No?? 

Flowers & Sunshine | Tampa Bay Childrens Photographer

I met up with sweet "S" and her family to take some pictures for her birthday!! 

Her mama is the incredibly talented designer behind DREAM TIERRA.  

I am just IN LOVE with this little girl's style.  First off... I'm a HUGE fan of the bubbles... and the bubbles at the beach?? Does it get any cuter??? 

Yes, yes it does.  

When you add the most gorgeous floral headband to the mix... then yes.  

CUTE TO THE MAX!!!! 

We had the most gorgeous weather... and that light.  GAH! I just die for that yummy sunshine.  This session is definitely up there in my list of favorite sessions.  

Favorite Color | Tampa Bay Childrens Photographer

Can anyone tell me where the month of April went? 

I can't even believe that it is over and already time for our TWELVE BY TWELVE blog post.  This month was actually MY MONTH to select the topic.... and the topic I chose was FAVORITE COLOR.  

As many of you already know, I love color. 

 My FAVORITE color however, is YELLOW.  It has been for a little over 10 years now.  Recently, my sweet Kalia has taken a special interest in her mama's love for yellow.  She loves making sure that I have the yellow cup or the yellow flower or that she colors me a picture with lots of yellow in it.  So naturally, when we were going to the flower field the other day with Brooke of HAMILTON CREEK PHOTOGRAPHY & her mostest handsome boys, she was VERY excited to wear the yellow dress I had bought for her, because she knew it would make picture taking just a little more special for me.  

What makes this special to me is because of the reason I love the color yellow.  It is because it makes me think of my father.  Ten and a half years ago, my father passed away from cancer.  Before his passing, we had become big fans of the LIVESTRONG foundation.  We have always worn those infamous yellow bands.... from the very beginning.  When my father passed away, we covered the funeral room in yellow flowers for him.   Since then, the color yellow has always been a sweet reminder of my Daddy.  Kalia doesn't know that this is why I love the color yellow... and yet she still always makes the effort to make sure that we always have yellow. 

Lots of beautiful colors on the circle today!!! Be sure to head over to the next stop... WEST CHASE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER Ashley Yvonne Photography.

That moment you catch the kids "getting married" -- for the millionth time.  

Rainy Day Boudoir | Tampa Bay Boudoir Photographer

On a rainy Saturday afternoon in February, I met up with this gorgeous lady in Tampa.  

She had booked a boudoir session as a Valentines gift for her husband.  Seriously ladies, this may be the BEST gift idea for your guy.  What man wouldn't LOVE a little black book full of gorgeous pictures of the lady in his life!?!? 

I am so in love with the way that ALL of our shots came out... but for privacy reasons, I will only be posting a handful. 

If you are at all interested in booking a boudoir session, please contact me! I would love to discuss it more with you!!!
