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…








and do leave congrats and comments for brandon… 15 comments gets him a special gift from Loving Legacy Photography!!
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!!

riley’s guests brought their American Girls dolls or other special friends, and they enjoyed cupcakes and fruit along with “tea,” and each girl had her photo taken at our portrait cottage!
girls, your photos are almost all done, and you’ll be getting a special gift from Loving Legacy Photography. thanks for a super fun morning!


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!!





a shout-out to frogs and flowers boutique. Sharlene is not only amazing as a visionary and designer of boutique childrens’ clothing; she has now launched a line of maternity and newborn props. if you are looking for excellent customer service, along with beautiful boutique items for your portrait session, she’s your girl. she’ll even custom design items to meet your needs!
