Wedding on Sand Key

This was a rare treat for me. Darin and I photographed our friend's wedding on Sand Key. It, of course, stormed earlier in the day so we were crossing our fingers for the ceremony, but it turned out beautiful, and even left us with some wonderful clouds. But the truly beautiful part was witnessing the love and joy these two were feeling. Thank you, E and P, for allowing us to be such an important part of this day. Many, many happy wishes to the two of you!

Sibling Love

These two were so cute together. Big brother L was so kind and helpful with his little sister. It was really nice to watch. I asked if there was anything special they did together, and he responded "we dance", so I captured a sweet series of them dancing, the last image is one of those. How sweet is that?

Oh, and to S (mom) - nice job choosing clothing with texture! It really adds dimension and interest.

The Arthur Murray Baby...

...is growing so fast! She's not even a year old yet, but already walking and dancing. She is so adorable how she bounces and bends to music at the studio, she makes you smile as soon as you walk in the door! So we had to take a couple of dance related photos, but I absolutely love these first few. Her Grandmother sent this beautiful vintage-looking outfit from Poland, and I was inspired to create images to match the feel of it.






Love this image of her carrying "ballet" shoes, walking with her mom (also love mom's gorgeous dancer legs...wish I had those).

Back to School Issue

This is why we did some school related shots of Julianna from this session - FOR THE COVER of Tampa Bay Parenting's Back to School issue, the biggest issue of the year! It's full of great information including where to buy fun and functional school supplies, packing healthful lunches, and a calendar of events for Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco counties. There is also information for the back to school fair on August 15th at MOSI (I'll blog about it in a few days), and many ads for after school activities. Check it out - easily found at Publix and Sweetbay.

In other exciting news the magazine is running a Cover Kid Search! You can visit tbparenting.com for more details. If there is an image I've taken that you'd like to submit, call or email me.
