Tampa Family Photographer

Tara, Austin and little Bradley – Water Works Park, Tampa

September 15, 2016 Family, Tampa

Last August, I started teaching at a new school and was warmly welcomed by my new team. One sweet teacher, with gorgeous blonde hair and the fullest eyelashes (seriously, if you know her, you’d agree), always greeted me with a huge smile! Tara was more than halfway through her pregnancy of her first child and still maintained her constant joy. 🙂 I’m so glad I got to meet up with Tara, her husband Austin, and their little boy Bradley for his 9 month photos at Tampa Water Works Park! Such a sweet family!!

Chad and Alissa – Houston Engagement Photography

September 9, 2016 Engagement, Travel

Over the weekend, David and I got to take a mini getaway to Texas to visit some family and friends! We got to see my sweet Aunt Kathy and my cousin Chad and his fiancee Alissa in Houston. I love when we are all able to get together!! Our family has had a really hard year. Actually, really hard is an understatement. But we’ve been able to grow closer through it and I’m so glad to see Chad so happy with his soon to be Bride. I loved being able to take these engagement photos for my cousin! We had to work around the rainy weather and the quick sunset but I think we got some great shots in our 10 minute mini session. 🙂 Especially this first photo… that’s what hugs are all about!!

27 Weddings on my 27th Birthday

August 29, 2016 Personal, Wedding

I love the number 27. I was born on August 27th, I turned 27 on Saturday (!!) and I just learned of another reason why it’s so special. David and I recently moved into our new house and while organizing our office, I flipped through the contracts from our past weddings. While flipping through, I looked at the names, the dates, the venues and thought about the special details and memories of each day. I counted the contracts, starting with Trezure and Seth and ended with Kristin and Zach, and smiled when I got to 27. Such a special number to me. To some people, 27 might seem like a low amount of weddings and I did think about that, but just for a second. Flipping through those contracts and thinking about our experiences, I am so proud of that number. David and I both work other full time jobs and we lived away from Florida for a year. We got to capture 27 first kisses, 27 gorgeous bridal gowns, 27 first dances, 27 unique cakes and it’s all been wonderful. Thank you to our 27 couples (+ many other clients!!!!) for inviting us along your journey. It’s been the best ride.

Paige, Aaron, and Golden Retriever Dash – Downtown Tampa

August 16, 2016 Other, Tampa

Do you remember Mike and Katy’s session with their new adorable puppy, Cooper? We got to explore the University of Tampa with their energetic, happy-as-can-be golden retriever puppy. Well, lucky me… I got to do it again!! This time, I met newlyweds Paige and Aaron and their puppy Dash! These two have been married a little over two months and they are adjusting to their new married life as puppy parents! Dash is not only adored by Paige and Aaron but by all of their friends and family, too. This was such a fun session. I’m hoping I can do more of these puppy sessions in the future!

Tiffany and Bryan – Downtown Tampa Engagement

August 15, 2016 Engagement, Tampa

It was such a pleasure meeting Tiffany and Bryan last weekend for their engagement photos! Thanks for the referral, Jessica and Mike! We explored the Tampa Riverwalk and found some gorgeous spots. The first few photos remind me of one of my favorite places, Portofino, Italy! I loved hearing about how they met and all about their upcoming wedding on Fripp Island in South Carolina. Best of luck wedding planning, you guys! You’re going to have such a beautiful day.

Hi friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

Hi friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

My goal as a photographer is to provide authentic and joyful photos of you and your most loved ones. I love my morning latte, reading books with my three little besties, getting outside in the sunshine, and exploring new places with my high school sweetheart.
