I know it's cliche', but Don't they grow up so fast?!! You may recognize this little guy from his newborn pics, then some pics later in his babyhood that we took a few months ago. Look at him now!! Marcus is 5 months old, learning to sit up, laughing and smiling like crazy...I just can't believe this is the same newborn I photographed! This is why it's so important to take these pictures - Chronicling this time will save these memories for years to come! What a great day!

Do you have a wall to fill? How about 4 square canvases demonstrating the wonderful expressions your little ones make. Capture this year and show it off! For a less expensive version, we can do square prints in the same way! With large matting and beautiful frames, it is sure to be a show-stopper!

Littlest Fans | Tuscaloosa, AL Cuties

Can you believe these two? This was a SPECIAL privilege of mine. Their momma is actually my best friend from college. I LOVE them, but I know that I'm not biased when I say that they are precious! We had a blast taking these shots - these are just a few lightly edited straight from our session. It's a good thing I'm a "candid" photographer because posing with little ones is definitely out of the question. We just played...with a camera!

Home is where YOU are | Tampa Bay Family Photography

I promise, I don't stop models on the street and ask them if they will pose for my website. It may seem like that, but I've just been super-blessed to photograph some BEAUTIFUL people!! These three are no exception - I think I could send these in to a magazine and just save someone the trouble of having to put together "the perfect family" for a photo shoot. What do you think?? Kelly and Jason - it was a blast! Thank you for letting me capture these moments for you!

We're Waiting On YOU | Tampa Bay Maternity Photography

What a precious little soon-to-be family of three! I LOVED this session - there's something about a baby on the way that just pulls me in. They have so much to look forward to! Meanwhile, they get to just soak up this miraculous time. I'm so thankful they let me capture it!

Oh the Places You'll Go | Tuscaloosa, AL Senior Photography

My first Senior Session is totally wrapped up. I LOVED the Senior Picture experience. You have an adult person, ready to listen and pose, if necessary. They are at such an exciting time in their lives, and you can almost see the potential in this sweet girl's future. You've seen her images off the camera before, but here are some she chose as her favorites for prints.

Heartbeat at Our Feet | Tampa Bay, FL Pet Photography

Meet Jonesie :) His predecessor, Max, went to Heaven recently and Jonesie has filled Heath and Jenn's hearts during their grief. Isn't he SO handsome??

We're Waiting on YOU | Tampa Bay Maternity Photography

What a joy!!! I never thought one session would top another, but I have to say that maternity photos are AMAZING. This beautiful couple is expecting their third child in four weeks! They were like pros and made this shoot super easy and fun.

Is there anything more exciting and awe-inducing than awaiting a baby...at the beach?! I love the ocean - I feel like places this majestic are God's way of courting us. Like a lover with flowers, he shows us his love saying, "Look how much I love you - I made you THIS!!!" All the more appropriate to show our love for a child on the way. I hope you enjoy - I sure did!

Carried in the belly, but held in the heart :)

Sunset!

They kicked off their flip flops, and little Evan kicked off his baby shoes, too :) Too cute, huh? His little feet will fit perfect in those...once worn by his daddy! See them on top of his dad's?

You had me at "I do" | Tampa Bay Wedding Photography

Fritzy did more than say "yes" to the dress, she said "yes" to the man of her dreams!! (Though the dress was pretty beautiful!) I thoroughly enjoyed photographing my first wedding today. Here are just a few of my favorites...There are a lot more. I just wanted to get some up because I have several sessions this week. It would be so easy for me to get behind, so I'm going to stay ahead for the time being.

Anyway, back to the precious couple. They had an amazing family celebrating them and beautiful weather! I LOVED capturing a day of love through my lens. More to come soon!

Her mom's rosary...her mother prayed over it before she wrapped it around her wrist.

Sweet Mr. and Mrs!!

How much longer is she single??

Are they jumping because they are happy for the new couple or because it's the last picture?? :)

Me+You=Love | Couples Photography, Tampa Bay FL

Because we are around the sport so much, baseball-themed portraits are something I haven't done. It seems silly to stray from something that's such a focal point in our lives, so I was thrilled when Wade and Katelyn asked to have their portraits made. We went to a little-league field and had a blast! The dirt was wet, the grass was like a swamp, but this precious couple doesn't need much help when it comes to beautiful photographs. I LOVED it! Thanks, Wade and Katelyn for enduring the elements with me!

I'm a sucker for kissing shadows :)
