In one week I had the pleasure of photographing these 3 little guys all who were celebrating their 1st Birthdays. I photographed them all as newborns and I can honestly say that time flies, it seems like yesterday I was photographing each of them and curling them up as a newborn. I am always honored when families bring their little ones back for me to photograph them again, I just love watching my little clients grow and see their personalities start to shine. Happy Late Birthday Boys!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing beautiful baby *B* this week. He is absolutely precious and has the sweetest parents! I love photographing newborns and I love it when I get to try something new. Daddy plays baseball, so we wanted to incorporate that into the session and I absolutely love this family image. Thanks B&S for inviting me into your home to photograph your little guy, he is perfect, I can’t wait to show you the rest of the images from your session.

I am proud to introduce yet another little second cousin, the third one this year, third girl…. Meet little Lily, she is absolutely beautiful and already two months old. I love to photograph babies when they are only days old, but little Lily might make me change my mind with these images that capture her awake with her big beautiful eyes. She is absolutely precious, I’m thrilled that I had the opportunity to photograph her and that I get to watch her grow up. Congrats Kevin & Lauren!!!!

Meet Baby Grace!!! – Tampa Baby Photography

I have to admit I’ve loved working with this family, we had such a fun time at their maternity session, remember this gorgeous mama-to-be? Beautiful little Grace was hiding in there, not so little, she held the record for length at Tampa General the weekend she was there from what I understand. She is absolutely beautiful just as I expected, and her mommy and daddy could not be more proud. She has lots of family from out of town waiting patiently on me to return from vacation so I could post a sneak peek, so I hope these will hold them over until the entire gallery is ready to view.

Baby Grace at 5 days old….

I love it when I can see the absolute joy in a parent’s eye when they hold and look at the new little life they created. This was one of those moments, and I just love this image of Daddy and his little girl. This is such a sweet family, with a beautiful new addition.

The most beautiful eyes! {Gulf Coast Beach Photographer}

This little guy stole my heart with those beautiful eyes. I was worried that this session wasn’t going to happen, when I left to drive over to the beach, it was raining and the radar was not looking good, but typically the sea breeze keeps the storms inland so I kept my fingers crossed and hoped for good weather. When I arrived everything could not be more perfect, overcast skies which are great for beach sessions, the little man had a nap on the way over and got a bite to eat before the session started, so we were set up for the perfect session before it even began! I have to admit it was a wonderful session, Mom is dying to see her images, so I wanted to post a few sneak peaks to hold her over until her full gallery is ready, I think she will be very happy!!!

There should be a law…

against looking this great a couple weeks before giving birth! I had the best time photographing this mommy+daddy-to-be, they are beautiful inside and out and are so excited to meet their little girl who should be arriving any day now. I can’t wait to meet her as well, I am so looking forward to their newborn session, I just know the baby will be as beautiful as they are.

Just when I thought my heart couldn’t handle anymore…

My twins started preschool this week too! In the blink of any eye the past two years have come and gone, life with twins and an older daughter has extremely busy. The girls are my *babies*, we rarely refer to them as the twins, typically just as *the babies*, although they are officially toddlers now. They are part-time preschoolers, which is about all momma can handle, and lets just say they don’t have their older sister’s sense of independence. There were some tears from all 3 of us, but I am told theirs didn’t last long. The first day they hid under a blanket together, with the whole “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me” thinking for awhile, and today I am told they sat together on a mat to comfort each other. It does make it easier knowing they have each other, they certainly have a special bond. Even though there were tears on the first day, they still came home on cloud nine that they now have their own school shirts and bags, just like their big sister. They insisted on changing into their shirts as soon as we got home, and demanded on wearing them again (and bringing their bags) the next day to Target. Today they were all smiles when I picked them up, showing me that they got stamps (belly stamps on friday), and they were so proud to tell me they didn’t cover their eyes….which meant they didn’t go hide, lol. Its clearly been a great thing for them, our shy one has already come out of her shell, rambling about her day and the wild one has been busy entertaining her teachers with her personality. I know it goes by all too fast, if I’m not careful I will blink again and it will be time to post about their first day of kindergarten, and I’m just not ready for that!

I blinked and it happened…

My oldest has officially started kindergarten. It seems like yesterday I was in the hospital in total awe of her tiny little fingers and toes, spending sleepless nights wondering if I would make it through the *baby* stage. Everyone told me “it will go by so fast” and they were right, it has. She has become little Miss Independent, not a shy bone in her body, not afraid of anything and I could not be more proud of the girl she has become. It finally started to sink in back in May that it was going to really happen, as she was singing at her end of the year preschool program, I started to whelp up and did my best to hold back my tears, but she knows me all too well. We got into the car and she asked me “mommy why were you crying, are you sad I am going to kindergarten?” of course I answered “yes” and in her typical grown-up little voice she replied “mom, its not a big deal, its just another school”. Her attitude didn’t change much over the summer, no anxiety, no fears, only excitement as she was about to embark on the “real deal”. So Monday morning rolled around and I couldn’t deny it any longer, I have a little kindergartner. I will admit it was not a tear free morning, but only on my part, she basically played the part of *Nemo* bouncing off the walls, “FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL….” she could not have been more excited and I think you can see it in her official first day picture below. So we are one day shy of the first week, and she continues to be just as excited about *school*, she thinks its the coolest thing to *buy* your lunch at school and get to pick chocolate milk when Mom’s not watching…. although today she forgot to pay for her lunch and had a few tears on the way home thinking that she stole her cuban sandwich, we assured her we would go pay first thing in the morning and it would all be okay. I am having a hard time letting go, letting her make her own decisions, make new friends that I don’t know, but I guess its all part of being a mom, I’m wondering if I might just learn more this year than she will…
