A Blast of a Family Reunion (tampa family photographer)

(tampa family photographer) This family is so much fun and I love that they called me back to photograph their whole family together again! We did a session several years ago that you can view here. You can see how much the kids have grown and there has even been one added! It is obvious how much the love to spend time together and that of course make my job not only easier but also so much fun! This is a large share but believe it or not, there are still lots of great surprises for this special family who will be receiving their full gallery in the next couple days!!

Double cuteness (clearwater baby photographer)

(clearwater baby photographer) What a super fun session in the studio! These 2 cuties cracked me up. Their personalities just shone through in their images. I hope to see them again for a double smash cake session… can you imagine the awesome fun and MESS Can’t wait! It’s the kind of thing a family photographer lives for!

Sweet holiday (tampa child photographer)

(tampa child photographer) This family was full of sweetness and their little girl was pure joy! I truly enjoyed capturing some holiday memories for them and since they know their gallery won’t come back to them before Christmas a special sneak peak for them to enjoy! (TAMPA CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER)

Sweet Family in the studio (clearwater family photographer)

(clearwater family photographer) This family paid a visit to the Clearwater studio several days ago. They were so much fun to work with and the kids were amazing! Loving their portraits thought it would be fun to share a few! (clearwater family photographer)

Family Beach FUN! (clearwater beach photographer)

(clearwater beach photographer) Not only was this family super nice and fun but beautiful as well! They kids were just darling and I had a blast chasing them around the beach with my camera! Beach sessions are such an amazing way to not only create beautiful portraits but also to capture timeless memories. Making the session fun and interactive for the whole family is a great way to get the kids and parents relaxed and feeling at ease infront of the camera. Of course we always work to get the classic smiling portraits but my favorites and many time my clients favorites end up being the ones that show true personality. That may include giggling and tickling pictures or even a serious expression that tugs at moms heartstrings. It’s those faces that only moms (and sometimes dads ) know and love. This family was vacationing here and I hope that our session together was a highlight of their trip and one they will not forget. I know it was a highlight of my week! Their next big challenge will be when they receive their gallery in the next day or so and have to make decisions on what to invest in! Believe me when I say it will be a tough choice! LOVE this session! (clearwater beach photographer)

Breathless! (tampa bay beach photography)

(tampa bay beach photography) Yes, these two adorable twins left me breathless as I chased them around the beach! But seriously, how cute are they? These pictures are a true representation of them and their little personalities at this age. They were so much fun and I hope to be able to see them again when they visit Florida another time!

Brand New (clearwater baby photographer)

(clearwater baby photographer) Another brand new little guy in the studio! Mom and dad were awesome and brought so many props and fun things to try to use. He was wide awake in the beginning of the session which is always good so that we can capture those beautiful, sparkling newborn eyes. I love this first one… if you look closely at his little lips it looks like he is trying to kiss his mommy…. :::pitter patter::: (clearwater baby photographer)

All of the following were mom’s props… I love to try to work them into a session if the baby lets us and this little champ was more than happy to accomodate!

50 years and counting! (tampa photographer)

(tampa photographer) This couple is celebrating their 50 year wedding anniversary! How awesome is that? They were SOO much fun to work with and I truly enjoyed getting to know them. It is such a great part of my job being able to meet so many people. This couple was still so love (at least they acted like it and the “Mr” sure has some “whit” as he kept me laughing through out the whole session! Enjoy your sneak peak and HAPPY 50th Wedding Anniversary!

More beautiful families… how do I get so lucky? (clearwater beach family photographer)

(clearwater beach family photographer) Seriously, I am so lucky to have the most beautiful families as clients! I think one of my toughest jobs is narrowing down images for a blog post! There are SOOO many great ones of this family that I could post their whole gallery! These precious children were so much fun. The best sessions happen when a family is happy to be together and everyone (including dad ) is able to enjoy the moment. A photo shoot should not only create great images but also create a wonderful lasting memory for the family. Many families enjoy ice cream or dinner afterwards making the whole evening a fun event instead of a “the dreaded photo session”. I love to keep everyone moving and busy with “posed” pictures turning into fun candid’s that turn into giggles and snuggles. This family was amazing to photograph and they truly made the evening a fun event! Thank you “J” family! Gallery soon to follow! (clearwater beach family photographer)

Craziness, in a good way! :) (clearwater family photographer)

(clearwater family photographer)This is a special family that I have know for many years. My husband is lucky to have one of these several faces as the manager of his company Magnifying Aids. She has been a blessing to the company and our family. It was a pleasure to be able to photograph her family and her extended family in the studio. Their personalities show right through into their images and that is one of the many things I love about them. I must put a *disclaimer* on the last photograph though there is NO actual choking going on, lol! See the “little” guy with the hat? He insisted that we do The Simpson family pose. Since I have never watched any episode of The Simpsons I let him pose and direct the shot. I hope he likes it … I’m sure at his age, that one will be his favorite! (clearwater family photographer)
