Happy half birthday to my baby girl! I blinked and somehow Claire is already 6 months old. She has been the sweetest distraction during the Covid pandemic and has filled our days with so much joy. She is growing so much and I’m so relieved that she is a healthy and happy baby. She loves to watch big brother James, she started solids recently and is already a fan of food, her sleep is predictable, she loves the bath, and as you can see by these pictures, she knows how to work the camera! Six months is such a fun age!! I took over 200 photos of Claire during these 6 month portraits because she kept smiling and just being adorable. Here are a few of my favorites! Also, scroll down for our weekly chalkboard milestone pictures and a few iPhone photos from the past six months. I just love her!! VIEW POST
Breanne and Michael – Tampa Pregnancy Announcement

Macy – Tampa Maternity Photography
I’m so excited to share this in-home lifestyle maternity session of my friend Macy and her son, Luke! This was actually a spontaneous, spur of the moment session. James and I were getting ready to head to Macy’s house for a play date when I had the idea of bringing my camera along. I envisioned capturing Macy and her sweet first born doing life in their home before baby brother joined the family. Moments like playing in the living room, cuddling on the couch, and making a snack together. Macy was 38 weeks pregnant in these photos and so ready to meet her baby but also wanted to soak up the last few precious days of just her and Luke. Her baby made his arrival recently and I can’t wait to share his newborn photos on the blog soon!
Isn’t Macy’s house gorgeous? I love how bright and airy it is and all the neutral tones! She shares her home decor and DIY projects on her instagram account Simple Sweet Almost Complete. Definitely give her a follow for simple and sweet home projects!
Emily – Tampa Family Photographer
Six months is such a fun age to capture! I had such a great morning photographing my friend Rachel and her sweet family at Philippe Park to document baby Emily’s six month milestone photos. She is such a doll!! I love that we got some precious mother, daughter photos in the Wildbird sling. Look how cozy and content Emily is all snuggled up next to mama. Love it!!
Rachel is super talented and makes homemade baby products, including bows and stuffed animals. Check out more of her creations on her Instagram: LoveStitchCo
Peter – Tampa Family Photographer
Baby Peter is so adorable and getting so big! I first photographed this sweet family for Peter’s newborn session in November and we got together again recently for six month milestone photos! I just love this beautiful family, especially Peter’s sweet mama, my friend Michelle. I am so grateful to know her and journey through motherhood together! Enjoy these photos of Peter’s 6 month milestone session at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor.VIEW POST
My favorite newborn products
My sweet baby Claire will be four months in just a few days. I feel like she was just born but also like she’s always been part of our family. I’m so glad she’s ours! Now that she’s out of the newborn stage and I’ve had some time to reflect on the past few months, I wanted to share a list of my favorite newborn products. I hope this list is helpful for new parents as you make your baby registry and finish setting up your nursery. I remember how overwhelmed I felt while researching ALL the baby items. There is so. much. stuff. out there marketed towards new parents. My best advice would be to remember that your baby needs just a few basics, everything else is just extra. Although the extra stuff definitely helps. 🙂 Here’s a list of my favorite newborn products that I would definitely recommend to any new parent.
Nicole 30th Birthday – Tampa Photography
My sweet friend Nicole recently turned 30 and we celebrated with a backyard photo session! It was so much fun! I love that she took the time and energy to have this special milestone captured. A 30 & Fabulous sash, tiara, flowers, champagne, balloons and a cake were the perfect accessories for Nicole’s birthday photos. Her sweet little daughter joined us for a few photos, too! Loved this photo session, I would love to do more birthday celebration sessions in the future!
Happy 30th Birthday, Nicole!
Samantha DJG Creations – Tampa Photography
I am so excited to share my sweet friend, Samantha, on the blog today! You might recognize her as the gorgeous bride in this Honeymoon Island elopement from last year. Loooved their beautiful, intimate wedding! Samantha is the owner and creative genius of DJG Creations. She specializes in creating custom shirts, tumbler cups, keychains and so much more. She has created a few adorable t-shirts for James and a matching set of tank tops for my sister and I for a recent Backstreet Boys concert. She’s also made a perfectly glittered tumbler cup with my photography logo on it, a fire truck tumbler for James and a beautiful glitter and watercolor floral cup for my sister. If you have a vision, Samantha can help create it and make it on a cup, shirt or more! She is so talented and I love to see the new creations that she makes! I had the privilege of photographing Samantha for some new branding photos for her business. I love that she brought a few of her favorite cups to show off. SO pretty!! We also took a few pictures of Samantha and her adorable son in their matching t-shirts.
If you are local to Tampa, you can pick up your products from Samantha in the Westchase area. If you’re not local, she ships her products!! Check her out on Facebook here and on Instagram here. So proud of you, Sam!
Wackes Family – Tampa Photography
I had so much fun photographing the Wackes family for their mini session a few months ago! We are in the same life group at church and get together every Sunday for dinner and fellowship with a few other couples (well, we do it on zoom calls now. Can’t wait to see them again in person hopefully soon!). Their daughter, Tiffany, is such a little model! Thanks, Kelly and Christian, for the opportunity to photograph your sweet family!
Hudson Family – Tampa Photography
Look at this adorable family! The Hudson family have been in front of my camera not only once, not twice but FIVE times! From their beach wedding at the Sirata Resort in St Pete, to maternity photos when they were expecting their first baby, to their sweet baby girl’s newborn session and two more family sessions. I have loved watching their family grow and documenting their milestones! Kristin and Kevin are now expecting their second baby, a little boy! Enjoy their family photos from their mini session at Philippe Park this past Fall.
