Andy and April Married| Lakeland Contemporary Wedding Photographer

My time spent with April and Andy wouldn’t be considered long, but by the end of their reception I felt like part of their family! April has 4 sisters which reminded me of my own family and I loved interacting with them on her special day. They made me feel like I fit right in! Her maid of honor Christina was a hoot, and I felt like I could hang with these gals all day!

Andy was so detail oriented (who doesn’t need a little of that in a man) and he handled my teasing magnificently!

Their wedding day was a beautiful one and their reception was a blast! This couple knows how to party and have the friends to back that up!
Thank you April and Andy for allowing me to be such a special part of your day! Here are a few pics to tide you over!

thanks to my second shooter Jennifer Goodlet for being such a fabulous assistant!

Friend Girl/Friend Boy Plant City Strawberry Festival Photographer

I am so behind on my blogging, and so I am just going to try to get better from here! Please forgive me! (I know I say that constantly, but I mean it this time)

Meet Michael and Melody! If you ask them they are in a “Complicated Relationship.” The Complications are that they are waiting for beautiful Melody to be 16, so they can have their parents blessing to date!

If you haven’t already guessed, (he is the spitting image of me) Michael is mine and hit his “Sweet 16″ Milestone last week. He is camera shy being a photog’s kid and all, but I really wanted to capture some updated images of him as he has slowly gone from my talkative, rambunctious baby, to a six foot plus (towering over me) young man!

So I sweetened the deal by asking his “Friend Girl” to tag along and took them to the Plant City Strawberry Festival.

Melody is a beautiful girl, both inside and out. Both of them have a fierce heart for their Savior and are Fabulous role models for all those they come in contact with. Soon they will be “Official” and though my heart pangs with the feelings of him growing up and not being my baby, I know that God couldn’t have put a more perfect “Friend” in his life!

Old Man C | Tampa Newborn Photographer

When I met sweet baby C the first thing I though was “oh that gorgeous head of hair.”

Don’t you love it? What’s not to love with those luxurious black curls!

Then I met him, and he was the most “grown up” newborn ever!! He was totally alert almost the whole session and loved watching Veggie Tales on the TV his sister was watching.

Thank you C Family for allowing me to spend these precious moments with you and your sweet baby! Wishing you a lifetime of blessings.
