Last Day of Senior Week!

Well this is it! Today is the day that the winners for this year’s Senior Week will be announced. I’m so excited!!! I also wanted to share Destiny’s senior session since she will be graduating this year!

One of the things that I love about Plant City, FL is that it is absolutely adorable. I love the variety that downtown offers; from the train station to Krazy Kup to the old theater. There are just so many gorgeous areas to take portraits. Especially when I have a senior who is shy in front of the camera; I love to be able to walk around with them and allow them to get comfortable with me.

Destiny told me she isn’t confident in front of the camera but she absolutely killed it in her senior session! I was so proud of her.

DON’T FORGET!
Today is the last day to get $50 off your senior session!

3rd Day of Senior Week!

This has to be one of my FAVORITE senior sessions because of the dark storm clouds. We thought it was going to pour the whole entire time but it circled around us. Corey and his mother were the best and did not seem worried about the weather at all. I’m 32 years old and my mom would still have been yelling at me to take cover and get inside lol.

On another note I have some amazing prizes to give away!

I will be giving away a strawberry camo hat, spray tan, bath and body treats, jewelry, and a glitter tumbler! I know…SO much free stuff!

Plus the grand prize will be a $75 gift card to American Eagle with a $25 gift card to give to a friend!

Day 2 of Senior Week!

It’s Tub Treats Tuesday of Senior Week! So excited to be giving away these amazing bath and body prizes.

Faith had such a fun, bubbly personality during her senior session! We walked 2.6 miles in downtown Tampa and honestly we had a blast even though the heat was killer. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!

Tampa Family Session

“Pets are bundles of love wrapped in fur.”

Let me just start this by saying I LOVE animals!!! I was so excited when I realized they were bringing their adorable puppy. I’ve said it before that I struggle with social anxiety sometimes, mostly when meeting new people. But the second their puppy jumped out of the car I was ooohing and ahhhing over that little guy.

I seriously love when clients bring their furbabies to sessions. I know pets ARE family members. I rescued a baby kitten (so little I had to bottle feed her) when I was 16 and let me just say this: she saved my life just as much as I saved hers. She kept me sane through my high school years when I went through heart breaks and lost friends; she kept me sane when I had my heart broken from my first serious relationship. She felt like a child to me and I would worry non stop about her. She was 13 years old when she passed away from cancer and my heart still misses her; 3 years later. It’s actually coming up to the 3 year mark in a couple of days which is probably why she’s so heavy on my heart and mind right now. Which brings me back to this portrait session and how much I understand the importance of including our furry family members.

On another note this has to be one of my FAVORITE locations for family sessions…or any session really. I absolutely love the colors, from the water, to the grass, to the buildings in the background. Even though I am based in Plant City I do not mind traveling into Tampa, Riverview, Apollo Beach…or anywhere really that is the perfect location for a client. 🙂

Family Beach Session

This was the first extended family session I’ve ever done…and I want to be 100% honest here. I was terrified. I’ve always been socially awkward in groups…I don’t really offer wedding photography because of the social anxiety I have. But at the same time, as a family photographer, I know how important and meaningful extended family sessions are.

This session was a celebration of the parent’s anniversary so all of their children were in town from out of state. These are such special memories for them and such a rare occasion considering they live in different states. So I put aside my anxiety and I am so glad I did. They were such a sweet family and I loved being able to capture the extended family and then more intimate portraits with smaller groups.

P.S. Is it summer yet??? I’m so ready to get back out there on the beach!

Pregnancy Announcement

I was so excited when this gorgeous family asked me to take their pregnancy announcement photos. They were visiting from Texas and not only did they announce to their little girl that she was going to get a baby sister but they told her she was going to Disney World! It was honestly such a sweet session.

  • The Announcement
  • Finding out she’s also going to Disney World!

One of the things I will always remember about this session is that they drove all the way from Orlando, got stuck in traffic, and got to the location 15 minutes before sunset. The sun was already starting to go down before we began but that is one of the reasons you go with a professional photographer. I was able to capture beautiful moments (quickly) and bring the light in during editing. Here is a before and after:

I’m so thankful they chose me to document this milestone in their life 🙂

Jessica’s Maternity Session

This is hands down my favorite maternity portrait I’ve ever taken.

Jessica brought so much passion to her maternity session! She had so many amazing ideas and such a beautiful style about her. She absolutely rocked it!

I wish I could take some credit for how amazing this session was but it was all her! She had a vision for what she wanted and it all came together perfectly. This was such a fun, unique maternity session. These are some of my favorite images from 2018.

She stayed so tiny throughout her pregnancy! I was huge at this point in my pregnancy!

There is something so sweet and precious about maternity portraits. It is such a short time that we mamas carry our children within us…but there are so many emotions that are felt in that time. I’ll never forget feeling my son’s movements and how comforting it was to always have him safe with me. I’ve always treasured my maternity portraits; even though my whole entire body was swollen including my face. I still love seeing my big belly knowing who that little baby would become.

Waiting on her little princess!

Amanda & Kodi’s Engagement Session

I can’t believe it’s already 2019! I’m so excited to share Amanda and Kodi’s engagement session as my first blog post of 2019. This was such a special honor because Amanda is my sister-in-law. She has been there for me through some of the best moments of my life and some of the hardest. So it meant the world to me that she trusted me to take these images for her.

One of the things I love about being a photographer is that I don’t have to confine myself into a box of how I should edit. I try to keep my work consistent of course, but I knew that Amanda liked the moodier look and I did my best to deliver that. I go back and forth between bright and dark…I’ve finally accepted that I like both and depending on the location, the outfits, and the mood of the overall session I will decide which is edit fits best. Every session is unique and every client is different so it makes me happy to customize each edit to them.

This past year was a lot busier for me than my first year in business which is so exciting…but there were certain areas that I slacked off in because of it. One of those being this blog…so that is one thing for 2019 that I will be working on. I have such sweet, beautiful clients I need to share them with the World! Plus, I’m just now sharing this engagement session and they have officially been married for 2 months. Definitely a little behind!

I wish these two nothing but absolute happiness and joy throughout their beautiful marriage.

Best Friend Senior Session {Plant City, FL Photographer}

DSC_3311

Let me start this by saying…these girls were hilarious! They were so much fun to work with and so comfortable with the camera. They had so many fun ideas and it was just a fun time all together.

So a fun fact about these two is that they’ve been friends for almost 8 years…one of them moved to another state but they kept in contact. They never let the distance come between them and I LOVE that.

“A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.” – Proverbs 27:9

I feel that quote applies to the friends but also to those who witness it. How refreshing is it for anyone to see a sweet friendship that has lasted through time and distance?

It was actually their idea for one of them to jump on the other’s back…and it was pure genius! Simply because it showed how fun they are, it showed their personalities, and it ended up with everyone laughing until their stomach hurt…isn’t that the best kind of laughter?

Their session actually took place at Clearwater beach…which is one of my favorite beaches ever. The water is amazing and the scenery is gorgeous. These rocks are one of my FAVORITE places to photograph. It just makes for a different scene than the water and sand. Of course I love the water but I like variety in my sessions 🙂

I want to end this with the best advice I think I’ve ever been given (or seen on Pinterest lol) regarding friendships:

“Stay close to people who feel like sunshine.”
