Tampa Bay Area Beach photography 

*K emailed me about doing *L's cake smash and after chatting with her about possible locations she said she REALLY wanted to do it at the beach. 

One of the things I love the most about being a family photographer is getting to watch and capture the important moments of a family when baby *L was first born I got to take his newborn pictures and now I get to capture his first birthday! 

I got to the beach before they did and scoped out where we would set up for the cake smash. I knew she wanted to do some family shots too. Normally a cake smash would be the last think on the list to do, but due to the light and where we would do the two different sessions I opted to let *L get messy first then clean him up and do the family shots. I wanted to make sure I had the sun setting when I captured the family. Im so happy with how this session turned out.  Cake Smash First Birthday Beach BirthdayCake Smash 2013-11-08_0010 Family PortraitsBeach Family Pictures 2013-11-08_0013

And this might be one of my all time favorite pictures I have taken... The birds are real. As they were standing there I told them to kiss and all these birds just took off and I said, "Oh my goodness all the birds! Did you see that?" and they were like 'no?' lol puffy heart love this picture!!
