so forever ago several photographer friends and i met up in Ybor for some fun shooting and just hang-time, encouraging each other and trying out some fun techniques.  of course whe we finished dinner, several blocks’ hike from our vehicels and loaded to the hilt with all our gear, there was a torrential downpour unlike any i can remember.  we laughed and we were SOAKED!!  nonetheless, we had a blast.

while we were out, we grabbed a few shots of the beautiful shelya for her branding/marketing!

thank you so much, adorable shelya, for trusting us all behind the lens, and for being on the back burner while we served clients first.    you are beautiful and fun and we can’t wait for the next meetup!

lil’ boy!  born into a family who adores him, his big sister is beautiful and i think she’s going to spoil him rotten.  that, or have him well trained to play with her princess toys!  melissa and aaron are beautiful and kind-spirited, and their daughter was so much fun!

aidan is the calmest, most easy-going little one… at least for us he was! after he ate he pretty much let us squoosh and bend and move him all over… he actually drifted off to sleep while we held his lil’ head, sitting up in a bowl!

delectable.

we are so thankful for shawn and brian, who trusted us enough to refer us to such a neat couple… you guys keep good company!  and thank you, C family, for the honor of being part of such an amazing time in your lives.  may your sweet boy (and his big sister) grow up to be strong and wise, and to know the purpose for which they were designed, and pursue Life passionately!  more to come…

you, mr. aidan, are yummier than chocolate.  and that’s sayin’ somethin.’  looking forward to seeing you grow!

hugs! – {{angela}}

i love families with lots of kids.  let me rephrase that: i LOVE families with lots of kids!  it makes for good entertainment, a great workout, and most importantly, lots of laughs!  what else is to be expected when you put together cool locations, technical equipment, and fun people!

what a beautiful mom of four boys and one little angel-girl! this one’s going to be “a surprise,” so the family is building anticipation to meet their little one!

when she said the words “we’ll be the family in green and purple,” i grinned ear-to-ear and prayed she wasn’t teasing me.  it’s proof that you don’t have to go with the “classic” black or white to look clean and polished and just downright adorable!

no way could we have made this session without my two amazing toddler-watching, giggle-inducing, light-holding assistants.  and they both shot on this session.  because they teasingly accuse me of stealing their shots, they’ve developed a system whereby whoever grabs the camera, takes a shot of his or her foot to signify, these next rockin’ images are mine.    can i tell you how much i love that while i’m hanging with one or more siblings, one of my own is off creating fun images with the others? 

guys, your family is beautiful.  your boys are gentlemen and sweet-spirited young men.  dad, you’ve got two beautiful women to take care of and it was fun being part of your gorgeous journey as a growing family!  i can’t wait to meet baby this summer.

hugs!  –angela (and brian jr. and anna)

like a mythical tale from every little girl’s dreams, hannah was walking through the mall when the fabulous talent agent denise of dk model and talent approached her and said something like, “you should model!”  lucky for me, hannah’s sweet sister already had us booked for senior portraits, so her family gave me the privelege of shooting hannah’s portfolio.  look at this sweet girl – i would’ve stopped her, too!

of course, it is still freezing for us floridians, so it was a great first taste of the more adventurous side of modeling .  nonetheless, hannah was willing to brave the weather, the not-so-friendly shop owner (just one – we’ll tell you about our adorable ice cream shop owner-friend…), and even the teenage boys (“is she a MODEL??”) to create some beautiful images for her comp cards.

This is Mr. Ken.  He is absolutely adorable, and when we stopped in for a cone for the shoot (thanks, Danielle, for the idea!), he was so excited for us to feature his equally adorable shop.  So thank you, Mr. Ken, from Sweet Licks ice cream shop, for your hospitality!

thank you, kelly and hannah (and dad, of course!) for a wonderful morning.  i am honored by your trust and excited to see hannah’s amazing future unfold (and she’s got a great entourage already…)  em, i can’t wait for your turn!

leave comments to encourage hannah on her new venture!  and because we’d like some new followers, for every new follower of our loving legacy blog i’m giving hannah a $5 credit toward her print order!  (up to $50 – we gotta feed our kids   )

is it just me, or does the winter seem almost cruelly cold for us spoiled little floridians?  just as i am rediscovering the incomparable beauty of early morning light (and clients who are willing to explore it together), the winter bites our toes and pinches our noses.  i know, i know, we’re spoiled – we could be shoveling our walks, right?  nonetheless, i find it extremely brave when a sweet and beautiful little girl is willing to don a sundress or swimsuit and dance in the wind to capture some amazing new images for her model portfolio.

i’ve said before, there are NO LENGTHS to which i will not go to connect with my littlest subjects… little brother was quite camera-shy and photographer-leery… but he does have a love for pirates.  well… why not me?

and he thought??

worth every bit of humbling silliness. 

and back to our little model… i think she’ll have lots to work with for her new zed cards!  congrats, miss m, on your budding young adventure!

this image stole my heart.  thank you, miss “m,” and mom, for trusting me with such an important moment in life.  can’t wait to get to know you all more down the road!  {{hugs!}}
