The M Family - Just Like Home - Tampa Family Photographer

I'm not sure if it's just me, or if every family photographer feels this, but every now and then I fall in love with my families. Okay, so most of the time I fall in love with the families I photograph. I've had the chance to hang out some very special crews and capture the sweetest that earns them the title "family." I've been blessed to be able to enjoy my time with them and while I'm taking their photographs, they are capturing my heart. I know people, I know. I'm super mushy! I can't help it.

Speaking of families that I LOVE, let's take a look at the M family's recent session. Oh boy. These little ones melted my heart. They totally brought out the dork in me. I'm talking silly, ridiculous, making-a-fool-of-myself-in-Hyde-Park Tina. Did I bark like a dog to get a giggle? Maybe. Was I twirling the littlest one around in circles just for fun? It's possible. Was I renamed "Funky, Cold Miss Tina"? ABSOLUTELY! But more than anything, I had fun (and I think maybe they did too!)

So, check out their sneak peak...and get ready to fall in love :)

Baby E - Bundle of Love - Tampa Newborn Photographer

I love seeing new parents with their little bundles of love. How careful they are. How loving and sweet. It takes me back to those first moments with my little one. So sweet to watch. So wonderful to reminisce.

Meet Baby E. Those little hands. Little feet. Sweet face. This little guy was soooo much fun to meet. He did not want to sleep for his first photo session, but eventually he gave in to all of his mom's and my persistent efforts to make him comfy! I'm sure he slept for the rest of the day ... and honestly he deserved it. Being this cute is a LOT of work :)

A Moment. Baby J's 3-Month Session. Tampa Baby Photographer

Sometimes when I'm photographing, especially little kiddos, I have what I call a "moment." It's a special shot or a second when my camera is taking a photo, but so is my memory (and for those of you mushes, my heart too). It's a moment where everything stands still ... where my heart melts a little bit ... where I think to myself "this is why I do this." Every photographer experiences it, but I don't know if they cherish it as much as I do?

When I was taking Baby J.'s 3-month photos, I had a "moment."

Words cannot explain how much I love this photo. I'm not tooting my own horn. This has nothing to do with me or my camera. This is all about Baby J. This picture, that look, makes me want another baby. It makes me miss when my baby was this little and quiet. It makes me cry. And it makes me appreciate every sweet, special second that I've had with my own little bean.

Photography means a lot to me, and "moments" like these are what it's all about. So, what about the rest of Baby J.'s shoot? You got it.

Some of you may remember Baby J. from his newborn shoot. This little one has grown so much in three months, it's amazing. Take a look:

 

 

 

And just because he's so irresistible,  I had to share some fun photos of Little L. (Baby J.'s big brother).

 

 

All I have left to say is that this family is very blessed. Two great parents and two super awesome kids. I can't wait to see how their family has grown in three more months!

Baby C is Here! - Tampa Newborn Photographer

Meet Baby C.

Baby C. is a lucky little girl because she was welcomed into the world by two very awesome parents.

There is no doubt in my mind that Baby C. will grow up to be a sweet and funny little girl. Her parents are smart and humorous, patient and loving. I am so excited to see her grow and learn how to become as amazing as her parents are. Best wishes to Sophia and Josh as they journey through the wonderfully wacky world of parenthood. Your baby girl is simply beautiful - nice work!
