six months {tampa bay baby photographer}

i’ve mentioned before how spoiled i am to photograph miss “k” and her brother and sister.  seriously, any photographer would envy me… they make my job easier than sipping a latte (and sweeter, too)…  we met recently to capture six months photographs for baby-girl’s first year album.  i’ve been stretching my comfort zone and doing some work in the studio, and it was really fun to have one of the best models on the planet to work with. well… i’ll just let the images speak.

megan is so beautiful.  there is something so magical about a baby “bump…” it’s perfectly reflective of the act of creation, of the provision of the Creator…

sweet devin got to hang with us when his family did a multigeneration portrait in the fall… it made my heart smile when he hopped out of the car for this session and came running for a big hug (sniffles…)

katelyn rocks the dress {st. pete wedding photographer}

okay, i said katelyn rocked the dress, but oh, my, lucas was pretty amazing, too.  i shot katelyn and luc’s engagement just over a year ago, and shot second for the amazing jason angelini at their wedding.  this weekend we had a blast meeting up with some other photographers (who don’t normally shoot couples, so it was so fun for them!!).  i had some photography techniques i was dying to experiment with, and these two were willing guinea-pigs.  with a rainy forecast, i was blown away when my beautiful friend and client showed up with rockstar hair and makeup, ready to work her custom gown to its fullest.  what a totally cool way to kick off your second year of wedded bliss!!

the morning of the shoot, katelyn said she sat, nervous, after hair and makeup, feeling like it was her wedding day.  she had amazing wedding images, so it was a privelege to get to go back out and “play!!”  of course, she was even more relaxed this time around, so it made for some oh-so-fun images!!!

i’ve said it before, but being a four-boy-momma (not to forget my princess-girl), i am always impressed when i get to photograph awesome and manly guys at the start of their lives of independence.  brandon an i met earlier this year for a preview-session, and this time he brought his amazing family (see the “a family” post a couple days back!).  he was a great sport about being asked to climb a tree, among other adventurous parts of his senior shoot.  thanks so much, brandon, for creating some awesome images.  we are honored to be part of this “beginning” of the next part of your journey.

 I couldn’t resist a little “outtake.”  for those who follow us, you’ll know that recently my husband “came home” to run the business side of Loving Legacy Photography, and he’s shooting and editing as well.  i’m not so sure he signed on for this type of “work,” but he’s an awesome willing participant in my wild-haired schemes… and actually, the resulting shot was his idea.  nice call, honey!  way to take one for the team…

tea party – at long last!!! {largo florida children’s party photographer}

riley, her guests, and her momma have been crazy-patient with me as her party fell before the Christmas craze, and then we had a little time securing the model releases… {aspiring photographers, here’s a little side note: never, ever publish the images of children, especially, without releases.  it’s so important to protect our kids and honor our clients!!}

so without further ado, here is the looooooooong awaited preview of riley’s adorable tea party!  for those wondering, Loving Legacy Photography does events photography, and portrait tea parties are something we’d like to offer our clients on a custom basis.  please contact us for more details!!

before this beautiful sunrise, these two had never met.  somehow, though, through the sisterhood of carrying the most precious of creations, they set aside goosebumps and shivers (it was 45 degrees on this tampa morning!) and created the most beautiful images.  thank you so much, tiffany and jen, for allowing us to capture your little ones before they came out to meet us all.  i can’t wait for your newborn sessions!!beach maternity photography loving legacy florida

the fabulous A family {Tampa Bay Family Portraits}

mary and i have had a love-and-hugs kind of friendship ever since she told me my work made her cry {in a good way ;)   }  and i was able to do a model session with her awesome son Brandon.  i’d been excited to get to capture the whole family, and her other three boys were just as wonderful.

as a special treat, mary’s grandma came for the session.  mary had bought matching bracelets for the two girls, and they reminded me of the necklace from Titanic.  what beautiful hands…
