Baby Love

Can you tell how in love these two new parents are with their baby boy? They were so cute with him...kissing, talking, smiling at him...so sweet. And I finally captured the illusive "newborn smile," which made my day. :)

Last '09 Senior

I'm so sad my senior season is over for 2009, but it ended on a great note. Senior A was a fabulous subject, and we had a fun finding new locations. We spent a lot of time in the car, which gave us a chance to get to know each other. Oh, and it was her idea to mix the heels with the soccer ball - love the creativity! I truly loved working with all my '09 girls, and I'm so excited to see who they become...I know each one will be spectacular in her own way! So, on that note - 2010 seniors - you NEED to call and book your session now! Space is filling up and I can't do them all in the spring of your senior year, so we need to start very SOON! Call me at 727-434-4414, or email me at dayinthelifephotos@gmail.com.

Urban Kids

This shoot was fun because it was out of the ordinary for a kids session. We captured a variety of images - from grungy-urban to bright and colorful. This family has always kept me on my toes, but since the youngest has grown into the "try to catch me" stage, this first image shows what my camera saw half the time:

B's Pho-Video

W's Pho-Video

AWESOME NEW PRODUCT!!

I'm so excited to announce my new product line - the rad-fab, uber-cool, pho-video rectangle of awesomeness! Check it out: (details below video)

This can be done with any number of photos, and can be used for the web, as with Facebook or other social networking sites, or burned to DVD to watch on the flat screen (dvd version is high-resolution). Call me - you know you want one!

Seniors W and B

I went back to Bradenton for this senior session, which involved the other girl from the "Sixteen and Sassy" session from 2007, and a brand new face, Miss W. I loved working with these two. B has had quite a few photo sessions and is very comfortable in front of the camera, so I always enjoy photographing her. But W surprised me - she had NEVER done this before, and was completely natural at it!

Cute Curls and BIG News!!

First, I wanted to share this session from February (I'm a little behind in my posting). I can't get over this cutie pie's curls! I wish my hair did half that! Of course, those big brown eyes contribute to the melting-heart factor. Her mom did such a great job with the different outfits and props. I love the variety we got. And I loved the lollipop images so much that...(scroll down for the BIG news part)







...I used one for an ad in the Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine, and they contacted me to use it on THE COVER!!! You should've seen the happy dance I did! Hopefully I'll be a regular on the cover. It's a great FREE magazine with interesting articles, tons of info on local happenings, and all things kids. The easiest place to find it is your local Publix.

Sweet Dreams

This little guy must have had plenty of them, because he slept like a...ummm...baby. He may be my best newborn to date. Not only is he cute as a speckled pup (ok, cuter), he did everything I "asked" him to do. I first photographed this family last year, and loved working with them, so I felt honored when they asked me to do this session, especially since they live in Cape Coral and could've hired someone local instead. It was a joy to spend so much time with them and see how their first has grown. I hope they are as happy with the images as I am.







This cradle has been used in her family for four to five generations. Isn't it gorgeous?


This one just cracks me up.
