From pregnancy to newborn…

Liliana came to me earlier this year for pregnancy portraits as a surprise for her husband and then came back with her husband and their darling little baby boy for their first family portraits!  Take a peek…

Father’s Day surprises…

Both of these Dad’s got surprise images for Father’s Day…dad with his 3 grown sons and new dad with his new little one.  The image of Gary with his 3 grown sons is just great because you can see the pride in his face and the joy of being there with his children.  Mary Jo is going to decorate her family room with canvases of all the different poses of the entire family group as well as individual separates.  What a keepsake that will be for the family throughout the years.  The one with her new little grand-daughter and her son is so precious because of the “smile” that you can see on daddy’s face.  No, you can’t see his face, but you CAN see the delight in the smile crinkles around his eyes.  I just love this one!

Starting a new life – with tattoo…

Scott has just graduated and is going on to college to major in physical therapy and personal training.  We photographed his brother Ryan about three years ago and it was a pleasure to see Scott today.  His mother reminded me we have been photographing the brothers since Scott was in elementary school!  What changes.  He recently chose to have a tattoo and even though mom was a not a huge fan of this choice, we did some images that highlighted the tattoo.  This tattoo says something about not only the physical strength of this young man, but his commitment to his inner and spiritual strength as well.  Sneak preview for you guys!  Enjoy!  See you next week.

A life well lived

Margie and Gene are soon to celebrate their 48th Anniversary.  They have lived a full and rich life and were a delightful couple to work with.  Margie is an accomplished and diligent genealogist and says she now works “day and  night” on finding her relatives and Gene’s.  Gene is a retired machinist and you can see how much he adores Margie.  What a lovely couple.  This is the image that they chose to share with family and friends this year.  Contratulations to you both!

New Display in Largo

Just finished putting two new images in the very lovely offices of Melanie Neumann, Tampabay Massage Therapy & Wellness Center, Inc.   I met Melanie at the Birthing and Baby expo several months back and cannot say enough about the wonderful surroundings she has created to invite her guests/clients into
