We did this cake smash at the BEACH! Who doesn't want to have some family pictures taken then eat cake on the beach? But, seriously! it is actually a great place to do a cake smash. You just need to bring a blanket, cake, and a hungry one-year-old.

Lighting is one of the biggest things I take into consideration when I shoot a home since I use all natural light. Be prepared to open ALL of your curtains and blinds so we can take advantage of whatever light your home naturally gets. But don’t stress over the perfect lighting, I’ll always do my best to find a space that will work for the shoot. Although the main rooms I prefer to shoot in are the master bedroom, living room or nursery, I won’t hesitate to take some shots in another room that has amazing light coming in.

Don’t feel like you have to stress yourself out cleaning your house from top to bottom before an in-home shoot. Dust won’t show in the background and neither will dirt. Plus, I know new parents are usually tired and the thought of having to clean the house can be too much. The focus of the images is going to be parents and baby, so it’s not a problem if it has been a while since dusting has happened. The important thing is capturing these memories of your baby and your home exactly as it is right now.

That being said, a good place to spend your time prepping your home is clearing visible clutter from surfaces. On their blog, the professional designers at Havenly suggest using closed storage containers to hide knick knacks and power cords, which is a great idea. The last thing you want to notice in your photos is a tangle of phone chargers on your coffee table. Clearing unnecessary clutter will let the aesthetic of your home really shine through in photos Newborn-Photos

New parents have usually spent a lot of time preparing the nursery for their little one, making it an excellent location for photos. In the past I have incorporated shots of meaningful wall art or cute mobiles when shooting in a nursery. Baby furniture such as chairs, cribs and changing tables are usually my go-to’s for featuring in photos so focus on those pieces when you’re styling your room for photos. If needed, you can easily change the ambiance of a chair by draping a blanket over it, so keep in mind that we’re always able to play around with the look of things.

Newborn-In-home-session tampa-newborn-photoshow to prepare for your newborn in home session

As you can see, there’s no reason to stress out over an upcoming in-home shoot. Shooting photos in your home is a great opportunity to preserve the details of their childhood home for your children to look back on. If you’re ready to book your own in-home session don’t hesitate to contact me!

The best thing about an in-home Newborn session is that you do not have to leave the house. Your child will get to see where you lived when you brought him or her home from the hospital or where you had him if you have a home birth. It is a beautiful way to freeze time for them to see just how wanted and loved he was (and is!)

I love when I south Tampa families pick me to capture their families portraits, and it is especially special when those families are here on vacation visiting relatives and choose me more than once for family pictures!!

Julie was here a few years ago and had me take pictures of her and her twin boys so when she came again last month she shot me a message asking to do it again. It is so fun seeing these boys again and seeing how they have grown. This time dad was available to join the fun. 

You can see her last session HERE.

When was the last time you felt sexy? Beautiful? When was the last time you did something JUST FOR YOU? If you live in the Tampa area and want to feel sexy, feel like a goddess then lets talk about a boudoir session. 

Amy is a scientist and in her everyday life, wearing a lab-coat and working in a male dominated industry.

• Q. Name? 

  A. Amy Ashley

• Q. What is your occupation? 

  A. Laboratory Analyst

• Q. Why did you do a boudoir session?

  A. I did a boudoir session because it intrigued me. I had friends who had done it and they all said it was an amazing experience. I had recently started working out more at the gym and had started feeling great about my body. I know that most people do boudoir shoots as a gift for their significant other but I did it for myself. 

• Q. Did you enjoy the experience? 

  A. The experience was wonderful! I felt so confident and sexy! 

• Q. What was your favorite part? 

  A. I've never been able to do my own makeup very well so getting all dolled up with hair and makeup was definitely my favorite part! 

• Q. What would you say to someone who wants to do it but is scared? 

  A. I would say that as cliche as it sounds, you only live once. Doing a boudoir session is a unique experience that can help you regain confidence in yourself and help you to realize your true beauty.

Patricia Cannon is the owner and artist of Sweet Plum Photography. She has been empowering women through her photography since 2011. 

Tampa- Boudoir-Photography Angela is my primary hair and makeup artist. She is the first person you will hang out with when you book your boudoir session with Sweet Plum Photography. She is about as sweetest person I have ever met and she makes everyone feel at ease while she makes them look amazing for their shoot. When she asked me about doing her own session I was thrilled. She, of course, styled her own hair and makeup :)

Jenny wanted more of an intimate setting for her maternity so we decided to do her session in my Tampa Studio. She brought her children as well so we could get some family style images as well.

Q. Name? 

A. Jennifer Felderman 

Q. What is your occupation? 

A. Sexual Health Advocate 

Q. Why did you do a boudoir session?

A. I had just had a baby, and wanted to feel sexy and more like myself. When you're a boob all day and night, it's hard to remember that there's a fun, attractive woman inside there somewhere. I sell lingerie, but I didn't realize the important of lingerie until my session. That sounds silly, but is true. 

Q. Did you enjoy the experience? 

A. I loved it and can't wait to do it again. 

Q. What was your favorite part? 

A. Makeup and hair and stretching into different poses. I felt like a fun model. 

Q. What would you say to someone who wants to do it but is scared? 

A. I would say to go for it ! Angles make everything is so flattering. Everyone looks incredible when behind Patty's camera.

Q. Name? 

A. Karina M. Plemmons 

Q. What is your occupation? 

A. Embroidery Artist

Q. Why did you do a boudoir session?

A. Not to say I think I'm unattractive, I just haven't really ever thought of myself as sexy. I'm married, a mother in her 30s, so if anything over the last few years that side of me was even more non-existent if you can believe it! Someday when my hair has gone completely grey, and my skin is wrinkled and papery thin, I'm going to look back at these photos and remember this season of my life.

Q. Did you enjoy the experience? 

A. It was such a fun and empowering experience. I honestly feel like it helped me find a confidence I didn't even know I had. 

Q. What was your favorite part? 

A. It was such a relaxed comfortable atmosphere, everything about it was great! Having hair and makeup professionally styled was super fun too. 

Q. What would you say to someone who wants to do it but is scared? 

A. DO IT! Do it even if no one ever sees the photos but you and Patricia. Do it for yourself. Do it to remind you or maybe even to show yourself for the first time this whole other side of you.

This was Brittany's second boudoir session with me. I cannot express how rewarding it is to be trusted to take these pictures for woman. As woman we are expected to be so many things and so often we are expected to be sexy, but not too sexy. We are objectified. We are way more then just objects and we need to own all the things... It is so satisfying to see woman own their sexuality and make it theirs. Brittany could honestly be my muse. She just exudes confidence and loves her body. Im sure many would kill to have her body, but she too sees things wrong with it. How sad is that? She is perfect and all women's bodies are.

Michelle contacted me a few weeks ago and said she needed some images of her daughter before she turned 10.TEN!!! I bet you a million dollars she feels like Brooke was a toddler just yesterday. How old is/are your child(ren)? Doesn't it feel like just yesterday they were tiny? I miss my sweet babies so much.  Time goes so fast once you have children and they change so freaking quickly. It is so important to capture the way your family looks RIGHT NOW. Because right now will be a distant memory so quickly and you will forget things.... we all do. So, when she called I told her I was doing motherhood sessions. She was concerned that dad would not be in any and I of course said he could be! 

Here is a sample of what we got in my natural light studio in Tampa.

You can see how much love they have for each other and how excited they are for this new chapter in their lives. I even took video at their session so they have that too as a keepsake to show baby A when he is older and he will see how excited his moms were to be expecting him!

I have a new addiction and my family only has so much patience for my shenanigans. I have learned a new skill of film making and I am genuinely enjoying it. I want to add it as an add on service to my portrait sessions and offer it as a stand alone product as well. 

I love so much about video. I love that I can capture little things that I cannot capture in a still photo. Little movements that will change as your child ages. Their voice!! Laughter and sweet hugs. So much richness and memories that can fade as we all age. 

For a limited time I am offering my lifestyle family shoots (2 hour shoot with a 2-3 minute video) for $250

Video will come with a digital copy

Session will take place in your home or on location 

Your house does not need to be spotless. This is about your life and about you and your children interacting with each other. It will not be about how clean your house it. You're not going to care about any of that 20 yrs from now. 

Here are a few of my own lifestyle videos of my own family

For the last few weeks I have been taking an on line course to learn a little about everyday films. I really enjoyed the course and wanted to share my final project with you. 

Im not sure how/if I will be doing these for clients in the future, but I just might. At this point I WILL be shooting some video during your session and if I get enough to make a video I will and I will play it for you at your reveal session. <3 <3 

Here is my final project and a little look into my life :)

A. Stay at home mommy

Q. Why did you do a boudoir session?

A. I wanted to give my husband an album for our five year wedding anniversary. It's not often I get to feel sexy with 3 kids at home. I also wanted to remind myself that I can still be sexy, even after 3 kids and not a lot sleep.

Q. Did you enjoy the experience? 

A. I truly loved my shoot!! It was so incredibly empowering. I left feeling like a brand new woman. 

Q. What was your favorite part? 

A. My favorite part about the boudoir shoot was how it made my feel about myself. My confidence was boosted and I was reminded that I am more than just a mother and a wife. I am gorgeous. I am sexy. I am more than I give myself credit for. 

Q. What would you say to someone who wants to do it but is scared? 

A. Do it. You won't regret it. Don't be afraid. Patty is amazing and will guide you through the shoot with such a fun and laid back ease.

This family was gracious enough to invite me into their home to capture these moments with their new baby. The grandparents were also present to celebrate three generations of the family together! What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate new beginnings and the joy that comes from these memories that they can look back on for years to come. It is always such a pleasure to meet so many wonderful people that touch my life as I am having the opportunity to share these important moments with them.

It was such a pleasure to meet this family on holiday from Switzerland! We shot this session at Picnic Island, in the South Tampa area. What a wonderful group of people that were willing to endure the Florida heat and extreme bug population to capture this moment together! Their lovely girls are 15 and 18 now, so it was the perfect time to be together as a family before they are all grown up and going out on their own. What a great opportunity for anyone who is going on vacation or while you are on vacation and want to make this a part of your time with the ones you love. If you are looking to schedule a session with your family, remember that it is better to wait until after your pictures are taken to get that first sunburn of the season!

I met this wonderful family while I was on a vacation with my family at St. Pete Beach. Mark and Lisa had just recently moved to the area and wanted to celebrate their new location with their extended family. They were such a great couple, that were kind enough to spend time with my family and introduce me to theirs. What a fun day that we had getting to know each other and enjoying this shoot on Redington Beach.

Olivia Jade showed up at my studio and I could not get over the amount of hair this beautiful little girl had. Newborns are so fun to photograph and she was no exception. She slept like a champ and you can see just how in love mom and dad are with her.

You might remember this sweet family from their beach maternity session at Redington Pier. They were equally as sweet at their newborn session in my studio in South Tampa. Big sister did amazing despite being 3 yrs old. Little brother was as adorable as could be, of course.

Ann was looking for someone to capture her family while on vacation in St Pete. Going on vacation is such a fun time and a great time to update your family pictures. She also wanted to get some pictures of Kennedy who just turned one! 

You want to remember your vacations and I know Ann will remember this one for sure and so will I. This being the time the 3 yr old got naked and danced on the beach. So so so fun!!!

They could not be cuter! I had so much fun with them. It is always extremely flattering and a little nerve wracking when another photographer hires you. But, when I saw how cute they were I got over it pretty quick.

It was so much fun capturing Daisi's maternity images for her and her expanding family. She really wanted to go to Fred Howard Park for her pictures. She LOVED some of my images from there. You can just see how excited they are to welcome this little one in a few weeks.

Julie contacted me because she was going to be in town and wanted mommy and me pictures with her twin boys. I have a soft spot for twins, having a set of my own! 

She wanted some greenery and a beach. OH! and the chair!! She wanted me to bring my chair. I knew exactly where to take her. We met at Picnic Island Park at sunset and she and her boys could not have been cuter.

Let's face it, curves are sexy! I love flattering a women's curves when shooting her. Confidence and Curves are about the sexiest things in my mind. My number one goal when I photograph you is to show you just how sexy you are. 

Why did you do a boudoir session?

In the past two years I have been through so much personal growth. I used to hate my body. Always thought I was too thick. Too curvy. Fat and unattractive. I was unhappy with myself and it reflected into my personal relationships. I began to really look at myself, physically and emotionally. I started working out and finding things that I enjoy doing. I lost about 35 lbs. I began loving and embracing my curves. Although, I've gained about 10 of those pounds back, I don't care to the point where I'm generally happy and proud of my body. Thankful that I was strong and able to grow 3 beautiful babies in and out of my womb. That my body allows me to do a job I love, that helps others feel better about their bodies. I want to do this for myself. That way I can have photographs to look back on and say, "Damn, you are hot, gorgeous, beautiful and strong."

If you know me at all, you know how much I love women... In every aspect of my photography I want to empower women. My favorite thing about boudoir photography is the way women feel during and after it. GODDESS that is the best description I can give to the feeling they feel. 

Hair and make-up is the first thing we do when you get to the studio, then we go through your outfits that you brought. We put them in order of importance to make sure we photograph all your favorites first. Then we look at my closet of outfits and decide if we want to use any of those. If so we put those into the rotation. Then we start shooting and I show you the back of my camera a few times so you can see what I am seeing. 

EVERY WOMAN is beautiful in her own way. EVERY SINGLE ONE. My goal is to show you just how beautiful you are. I dont photoshop you so that you look like someone else, because I dont need to. Using light, angles and your natural beauty, we work together to get pictures that you will love!!

I love a family shoot. It's like showing up to someone else's holiday family dinner.  There's some bickering, and sometimes family members get frustrated with each other. Or there's a child who doesn't want to "play along" and is tired or cranky.  But at the end of the day, there's a lot of love and patience.  There's laughter and a sense of togetherness.  And at the end of the shoot there's also pictures and memories created that will be cherished for a lifetime. I get an overwhelming sense of accomplishment knowing that I helped them create that.

Recently I had the pleasure of shooting something a little different from my normal routines of maternity, birth, newborn, family, and boudoir. I was enlisted by a lovely woman we'll call B* to ask her partner A* to marry her.  Now, this was a surprise engagement and as I do not have (much) experience secretly photographing people from behind the bushes, it was a little more challenging than usual. But it was a challenge that I was up for! Well A* said yes to B* and I was eventually invited out from behind the bushes to get some closer shots! I love trying new things and am always up for something different!

People often ask me what to wear to a photo shoot so I created a list of 5 simple tips to help us both make sure your photos are styled to your liking.

1. Pick out clothing for the pickiest person first.  

We all have that one person in the family, you know who I am talking about. The one who is hardest to dress and has a lot of opinions on what is acceptable for them to wear.  Dressing this person first gets the tough part out of the way and allows you to coordinate colors to their outfit; however vibrant it may be (which brings me to tips number two and three).

2. One bold pattern per 3 people is a good rule of thumb.

This helps eliminate the possibility of your family photos appearing as though you all just arrived from a Jimmy Buffett concert. Although color is a good thing, we don't want your pictures to be too busy.

3. Neons are not your friend.

Reflectives should only be worn for safety, not for portraits. We want your faces and emotions to be the star of the photos, not your clothing.

4. After everything is chosen, lay the outfits out together.

Putting everyones' clothes on the bed (maybe even snapping a picture of them and sending it to me) will allow us to see if everything visually coordinates. 

5. Feel free to ask me my opinions.

I welcome you to text/email me pictures of clothing or questions. Since I am familiar with lighting, placement, etc, I know typically what works. That is why you hired me! I'd much rather answer questions before a shoot than have you displeased with photos later.  Also, please feel free to browse my gallery for styles that you like.

Watching a child pick and give a flower to his mom, or doing his silly little dance, the way that your husband was looking at you, these are the important things that we want to look back on. These are the little gems that sometimes escape from our memory as we age.  These are the moments I want as art hanging above your bed or fireplace, maybe in your living room, or dining room, or hallway.  Ones that catch your eye every now and again and your heart swells and you remember...  Sure, I can shoot everyone looking at the camera smiling, posing, but that's not real. What I want for you is to encapsulate those unique moments, the real moments that you don't want to forget. The ones that are so real, we sometimes don't even realize when they're happening.

I realize what an honor it is to be chosen to capture your memories of once-in-a-life-time events.  I can't tell you how amazing it is to be chosen by the same family multiple times.  It's so rewarding to see you through the different family stages; maternity, birth, family, and (hopefully!) repeat.  I appreciate each and every one of my clients, and love to know that my feelings are reciprocated!

This months theme is "My happy place" 

Mine would have to be spending time with my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are amazing for just that. Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving with family and then came home and put up the Christmas tree. I have been so busy over the last month that I really needed that family time to recharge. The other thing that makes putting up the tree in our house so special is we were out of our house for 2 months (aug and sept) due to a flood. So my house, family, and the holidays are for sure my happy place. 

Here is "my happy place"

I adore maternity sessions. Might be my favorite type of session. I bet it is cause I loved being pregnant. It was the one time I felt comfortable in my own skin. I could have a belly and I LOVED my belly. I find pregnant women perfect in every way. I want to make your maternity session as beautiful as you are so I buy dresses for my clients to use during their sessions. Im always trying to describe them to clients and sending them "searching" on my website to see the dresses in use. I figured having one post with them all on here would make it easier for me AND them. Here are my dresses...so far... I buy a new one to add to my collection every few months.

Lately I have been doing most of my newborn sessions in my studio in Tampa Heights, and I love it because I feel my work is better and more consistent. I love the light and all my stuff is there so I encourage my clients to do their newborn sessions there instead of in their home. I still offer in-home newborn. It is a good option for some still. If you have good light in your home you might want to consider paying a little extra to have me come to you.

When I think of shadows I think of black and white. Shadow and light are so important for black and whites.

A few months back I took a film walk with some fellow photographers. I had not touched a film camera since I was 9 yrs old and to get my hands on a film camera and playing with it....it was the funnest day. So then I send my film in and then it was the wait.... the long long wait to get my scans back. Then the email come and I get my scans. Instant love. I had forgotten how rich film is. I went out and bought my self a film camera.

I went to the store near me that I had heard had film. I get there and all they have is black and white. I was disappointed. Of course I bought it anyway and used it on some random pictures of my kids and took a maternity session. Then I got my scans back....holy cow! I love black and white in film too.

Now I have a slight addiction to film and try to bring my film camera to most of my shoots. Here is the last session I had with it. This roll of film I grabbed at CVS!!! Still love it! Not even sure what kind of film it was....  Family-Photography_0149 Family-Photography_0152 Family-Photography_0150 Family-Photography_0151

Do you live in the Tampa Bay Area? Yeah, me too.

Have you noticed how hot it is outside? Yeah, me too!

If you want to capture the amazing thing that is happening inside your beautiful belly, but the thought of sweating is making you opt to just stay inside? Yeah, I have an alternative for you!! Come hang out with me in my lovely studio!! I love it in there and all the clients I have had in there love it too!!! So let capture that beautiful belly and stay cool in the process!! CONTACT ME to book!!

This months topic is "laughter" and nothing to me is better then when a whole family laughs together. I love when my kids, my wife and I all laugh at something. It's the absolute best. My one goal when photographing families is to get a family laughter shot. Every family session, ONE FAMILY LAUGHTER SHOT. Yep, if I get nothing else that's the winner. I love it.

When Ali told me she and her husband wanted to include their VW Westfalia in their maternity session I was like, SIGN ME UP! Nothing makes me happier then bringing something unique and personal into your sessions. How cool will it be for Nora to look back at these pictures and see how excited her parents were for her arrival!?!

Here are the highlights from this adorable maternity session:

I breastfed my twins till they were 3 and a half. I never thought that was a thing till I was in it. What I found was that breastfeeding was way more then just about the milk. As we entered the toddler stage the girls started having typical toddler meltdowns and until you have a toddler you think these meltdowns are controllable (at least I did). Well, I am here to tell you they are not. Wires get crossed and the child has no control over what they are doing (most of the time). This is where breastfeeding a toddler came about for me. I discovered that the minute my crazy, crying, uncontrollably insane child would put mouth to breast she would calm. And when I say calm I mean look like she just had a yoga class followed by an hour of meditation. She would suddenly be grounded again. So for my image this month I picked one from the breastfeeding session I did with one of my forever clients. She wanted to commemorate her breastfeeding time with a session because she is about to go on some medication that she cannot breastfeed with. 

Tampa-family-photographyMotherhood Now head over to Melissa Korta's blog to see her Grounded post. 

My studio is located in a old house in Tampa Heights. I love the light I get in there so much. It is magical. Brycen and his brother (and parents!) came to my studio for their newborn/family session a few weeks ago. Big brother was not that into the session, but we managed to get some great ones with him and his little brother. I love sibling shots, but they can be really hard to get when the older sibling is not THAT much older. It takes a lot patience and time and sometimes bribing.

I get so excited when clients want to capture maternity, birth and newborn. Taylor and I had so much fun at Fred Howard Park for her maternity session. She is lovely and so much fun to be around. She wanted to wear one of my maternity gowns. I have a slight addiction to these gowns. I have like 6 of them now. I just can't help it. She picked the off white one and she brought a few outfits too.

When the whole family gets together it is so very important to get pictures done. I love doing extended family sessions and we all know how much I love shooting at the beach, so.... I of course enjoy the heck out of extended family sessions on the beach!! 

The A family picked one of my favorite locations for their session. Redington Long Pier is an amazing location for any portrait session. 

Extended Family Sessions cost a little more then a regular family session because I have to make sure I get the group (EVERYONE!) then I get the smaller groups, siblings, parents, grandparents with grandchildren and so on and so on. 

I was really impressed with how well this family coordinated their clothes for their shoot. They looked great wearing light blue, khaki and white. It made all their shots look cohesive. 

Beach-Family-Photography Family-Photography-beach-photosRedington-Beach Family-Photography_0126 Family-Photography_0122 Family-Photography_0125 Family-Photography_0123 These moments are fleeting, don't let them pass by with out a picture to remember them. 

I have been photographing L and her mommy since she was a little bitty thing. L's mom is getting ready to start medication that she will not be able to nurse while on, so she wanted to save this special bond for ever. She asked if we could do a breastfeeding session. When discussing locations she said she liked the intimacy my studio would provide.

I had such a good time with the H family!! These kids know how to have fun. Mom booked a mini session just to capture her kids in this point and time. They will not be this little (or big!) again. They are ever changing and it's important to get them in front of the camera. Equally (if not more) important is that mom get in front of the camera too! Pictures of the kids are for the parents. Pictures of the parents with the kids are for the kids! They want to know what their parents looked like when they were young. They want to see how much love there is between you. So get in front of the camera mom and dad! Do it for your kids.

Visit our facebook page Twelve by Twelve for June's topic. 

This months topic was picked by me. The topic is "soft". I think I try very hard to be soft in my life. I had a very hard childhood that was filled with lots of yelling and hitting.  The minute I decided I wanted to have a child I knew I wanted to be softer and that the house my children grow up in with not be filled with yelling and hitting.

I work daily on being soft. In the way I talk to them to the way I approach them. I wish I could say that I am always soft, but alas, I am human. Sometimes I yell, but I always apologize (something that never happened in my house growing up) and I tell them I love them daily, heck sometimes hourly. 

Im submitting two pictures I took this month that represent "soft". The first is a maternity shot. Pregnancy is where my journey to be "soft" started. 

Pregnancy-portraits

My next is a mama and baby images cause there is nothing softer then this...

Now head over to Contemporary Capture's blog to see her post for this months theme. She is a Tampa Wedding Photographer. 

Mia was actually my first newborn in the new studio. I love that mom and dad made sure to keep her awake before her session so she would sleep really soundly. 

I keep the room really warm and have white noise playing for my newborn sessions. This helps the baby sleep. When baby was in mommy's tummy it was a warm noisy place, so they like warm and noisy in those first few weeks. 

To book a newborn session please contact me.

It really is fun and you can bring a friend if you would like. If you have a friend book a session I will give you 5 digital images from your session (and she will get 5 too) . If you get 2 friends to book they both get 5 and you get all your edited images from your session.

Only six spots open!!! Email me [email protected]

If you wanna see some from my last marathon here is the post from it. 

It was hard for me to pick a favorite color because I love so many of them, but I tend to gravitate to all forms of green. I love light shades you would find in the sea, and I love dark shades you find in the trees. (ha! I rhymed!!) 

For me, I feel like green equals life. As of late I have found a little spot that I have shot at a lot and it has about the prettiest shades of green... 

Here is my favorite color:  Family-Photography-Tampa

Now head over to Tiffany's blog to see her favorite color!!

Are you pregnant? Did you know that now is the time to hire your photographer for your newborn session? 

You see your newborn session (if you want posed, sleepy baby pictures) should take place at around 6-12 days after baby is born. You may think that is plenty of time to get a photographer lined up, but it really isn't. Many factors can play a role in you missing out on these picture. Like, sleep deprivation for one!! Also, you want to make sure you hire a photographer that is good and knows how to handle babies. There is a special skill to photographing newborns and not everyone is great at it. Also, they may not have any opening... This would cause you some undue stress at a time that can already be stressful. 

So while your pregnant start looking for the photographer who you would like to capture your little ones adorable fresh baby self! These are treasured memories and you want someone who you both like their work and like them. Ask questions and really dig through their work to make sure their style fits your taste. You want your newborn pictures to look good in your house so if your house is decorated in all modern furnishings and you hire someone who's work is natural and organic you may not want to hang any wall art from your session. Once you find them book it. Then when baby comes you let them know and they put you on the schedule. Easy peasy! 

This adorable little boy with the webbed toes was one of my last minute bookings. And I am really glad I was able to fit him into my schedule because he is absolutely delicious!!!

Through the month of April I will be doing these mommy and me mini sessions. I love capturing the connection between mom and baby and what a great gift for mothers day!! 

motherhood-photographyMothers-day

To say I like to shoot at the beach would be a complete understatement. I LOVE having maternity sessions at the beach most of all. This family of two will soon be welcoming a little girl into the world. You can see that they are already so much in love with her. I cannot wait to meet her when she gets here and I get the pleasure of photographing her newborn shoot.

This months theme for the blog circle with Twelve by Twelve  is "comfort". 

As I kept thinking of what I would do for "comfort" I kept going back to a few things, my family, the beach and vacation. Over and over those three things would pop into my mind when I would try to think of comfort.

Family: 

My family is such a huge source of comfort to me.  My WIFE!!! and I have been together for over 20 years. We finally were able to marry last month making us legal.  Legal, with all the same rights and protections as all other families. Our girls, they bring comfort to me because they are healthy, smart and oh so freaking hilarious. We waited so long to start a family in the traditional sense for lots and lots of reasons, but I am so happy we finally did. 

The Beach: 

What can I say... Im a pisces and love the water. I am drawn to it in a way I cannot explain. I love to look at it, frolic in it and shoot at it. If I could only go to one place ever again, I would pick the beach. 

Vacation: 

When you take those other two things and put them together with no work obligations, you get my ultimate comfort....vacation. 

Spring Break happened just 2 short weeks ago... here is my comfort...

Family-pictures I love how easily kids can become fast friends. While at the pool one day our girls met and became friends with these boys. They all played for hours together, not parting till the sun was gone completely.

Head on over to Kristie Serra Photography to see her comfort post. 

Come celebrate your nursing relationship with with me!! Breastfeeding is close to my heart. When the girls were born I had a really hard time getting them latched without pain. It took me eight weeks to finally resolve the issue and we nursed for a nice long time after. I became a CLC and LLL leader when they were 9 months old and I love helping mamas nurse (without pain!!!) 

The thing that I love to capture the most is connection and to me the connection between mama and nursling is just beautiful! 

In honor of Mothers day I thought I would do some mini sessions. 

I want you to have a beautiful reminder of you and your nursling. You will never get this moment back so lets capture it and freeze it.

Repeat clients are the BEST!! I love it so much cause I get to watch (and capture!!!) little ones growing. 

Dad is usually the one taking pictures in the *L family so mom wanted to take advantage of my valentine mini sessions and get some pictures with dad in them. 

I have to say when little *L stepped out of the car I was so happy to see her outfit. The jean jacket...the TUTU!!!...the boots?? Over the top cute right there!!!

I was honored to capture Caitlin's baby girls birth. This was her second baby and I was there the first time as well. Birth is one of my absolute favorite things to capture so when I get the opportunity to do it more then once for the same client I am blown away!!

When I think of "Us" I think of a new fresh family. One that was just two people, and now is 3 (or more if the new little is a multiple) There is no greater feeling that bond a baby can bring to a couple. 

Here is my entry for "Us" :

When *J told me she wanted to do her newborn session on the beach (IN WINTER!!) I was a little scared it was going to be a huge flop. I was afraid baby *B would be miserable and not sleep at all and cry the whole time. I could not have been more wrong. I made sure to bring lots of wraps to swaddle him and keep him warm. Mom and Dad brought grandma to help (and for some pics) she was able to hold up blankets when it was windy to keep the wind from little baby *B. 

Needless to say I cannot WAIT till my next beach newborn session!!

Bree contacted me months before her session. Her husband and she were going to be stationed here for a few months, but there was a chance of them being somewhere else. I am so happy it worked out that they were here and I was able to photograph their pregnancy. They are back in their home state of CA now and Im so sad I wont get to photograph this family as it grows.

One of the best compliments I can get is when a client comes back and does more sessions with me. I just love this family so much!! I was there for their maternity, birth newborn and christening. It had been a while since I had seen them though so it was so much fun seeing little *S and her family for their holiday mini session at one of my favorite beaches in Tampa. 

The *J Family:

Baby boy *B was not very sleepy, but boy was he relaxed and sweet. 

I tell all my newborn clients who are doing a posed session with me to keep baby awake for at least an hour before I get there. This is not to torture baby or mom, but to make sure baby falls into a deep sleep. It works 99% of the time, but there is always that 1%

*B had to go and be that one percent.... That's ok! Cause, look how beautiful he is...

Mama *J Purchased a Grow With Me package so I get to watch this little guy and his family over the year. I can't wait till the next session when he is a few months old. 

D's family I was lucky enough to photograph their last birth so when she told me she wanted to do a family session for the holidays and wanted a place that spoke "Tampa" I knew exactly where to take them!! 

During any of my family sessions I try to get at least a few of the parents together. I find that most parents have not had any portraits since their wedding!!

We had such a fun time at Fred Howard Park the evening of our session. I love love love their style and you can just tell how much they love each other and baby *P is going to cherish these pictures when he grows up. Imagine looking at pictures of your parents when they were pregnant with you and seeing how excited and happy they were for your arrival! All the more reason I am excited to capture their love for him once he is earthside.

I did Gretchen's maternity and newborn pictures when baby Max was born. Time flies so fast and Max is already 6 months old. Mom wanted to do a family session at their home. I love doing sessions in the families home. It is so great that when Max grows up he will be able to look back and see what his home and parents looked like when he was a baby. He will be able to see his lifestyle even if he does not remember it.
