Senior Portraits-Orlando, FL

This senior, J, is getting ready to graduate soon and, although mommy life has been busy, we were able to meet up this month in Orlando to get these photographs done before graduation. It was actually therapeutic to leave my house and mommy responsibilites behind and spend the morning by myself as photographer. J was easy to photograph with that great smile. Congratulations to this Senior! Best of luck next year, J!

More pictures of J are posted on my facebook page.

Please leave a comment about these photographs of J. For 25 comments, she will receive a free 5x7.

Family Photography-Orlando, FL

Saturday, I spent the morning in Orlando for 2 sessions. These sweet sisters, A and E, suggested a local park they know well and is close to home. We didn't get too close to the water since we spotted an alligator while we were there. Mom was helpful picking locations around the park and helping to pose the girls. Thanks for a great shoot! More photographs of A and E are posted on my blog.

Child Photography-Tampa, FL

Neighbor friends called on me last week to pop over and photograph these cute kids. The first two pictures are a brother and sister. They had cousins visiting and I photographed them all together on this bright and beautiful Florida day. They were fun but I had to be quick before they were goofing around and off to play :)

Child Photography-Tampa, FL

Life is busy with a newborn and 2 1/2 year old. At home in the middle of a crazy day , K helped me take a self portrait for a workshop. She was too funny. She was bossing me around telling me to "smile" and "keep my eyes open." When I told her she was a great photographer, she told me "no, I'm a big sister."

Newborn Photography-Tampa, FL

Say hello to the newest addition to our family, sweet little B! B is why I've been absent from my blog. She came early for us on February 3rd. February was life changing and busy. K, my 2 year old, has been adjusting but constantly tells me she LOVES her baby sister. Every time K gives B kisses it warms my heart.

Happy Valentine's Day-Child Photography-Tampa, FL

Happy Valentine's Day! My sweet K is now 28 months and will have the new title of big sister this week. This Valentine's Day I'll have two girls to hug and kiss! Daddy helped out with this session and K gave me some memorable smiles. Of course, it always helps to have a lollipop! More Valentine's pictures of K on facebook.

College Senior Portraits-Tampa, FL

This recent college grad, Dec 09, is close with our family and originally from Serbia. N and my sister were visiting from cold Connecticut and received some cold weather here too. Congratulations to N for all his hard work! He played college soccer and received his international business degree. Good luck!

Senior Portraits-Orlando, FL

This month we have had some extended COLD weather in Tampa and Orlando. Luckily, this particular day of shooting in January, was warm, yet windy. This Senior, K, from Orlando is sweet and had a lot of patience while dealing with the wind. We were slowed by the wind and my awkward maneuvering at 36 weeks of pregnancy to get different angled shots. Again, I love that end of the day sun...which was a beautiful backdrop, particularly in the first picture. K, best wishes for the rest of your senior year! More pictures are available for viewing on facebook.
