Breezy Beachy Family Session | Tampa Bay Family Photographer

It was so wonderful to capture the gorgeous Julie of Julie Effron Photo & Video and her beautiful family back in December.  We met at Cypress Point Park in Tampa.  It was pretty breezy and a little chilly... but it was still a super fun shoot! I really loved the outfits that they put together... the navy and grey with pops of mustard!!!! SO yummy!!!

Foggy Morning in the Park | Tampa Bay Family Photographer

I met up with the wonderful P family, for the first time, early one Saturday morning in December. 

It had been a while since I was out and shooting a sunrise session.  I was really looking forward to that yummy light!!! Mother Nature had other plans.  She covered the area in a thick blanket of fog that morning. 

But I must say... there is something MAGICAL about that blanket of fog.  

I loved their outfits and the way that the bright colors really POPPED!!! The girls' dresses were just delicious -- I wanted to eat them up!!  

best twirly dress award goes to.... 

ALWAYS, ALWAYS bring your child's lovey to your session.  The matted fur and the stitched up holes tell a story.  Your child's story.  And THAT is what I want to capture for you.  How loved is this sweet puppy?? 

One of my most favorite sibling shots ever.  

Z Family Holiday | Tampa Bay Family Photographer

It's always an honor when another photographer books you to capture THEIR family's memories.  It was no different when Kim Zimmer of Kim Zimmer Photography reached out and booked me for her family's holiday portraits.  It was such a pleasure meeting and working with the Z family.  They are such a gorgeous family... and the kids.. I just wanted to EAT THEM UP!!! Seriously!?!?! Are they not just delicious!?!? 

First frame of the session & I was just testing my light.  One of my favorite shots! I love it when that happens!!
