My heart was in a puddle after I took these images. I think the whole world stops when a newborn smiles! Later in the session, Luke started to get a little fussy, and my heart melted again when Daniel got out his guitar and started playing a worship song. Luke stopped crying immediately and there was a peace that fell over the room. Everyone relaxed and Luke just watched his dad....

Read moreDowntown Tampa Garage Rooftop Senior Session// Rebekah
"She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future." -Proverbs 31: 25. How beautiful is this verse and the meaning behind it. This session is quickly becoming one of my most recent favorites, just because of how joyful Rebekah is, how cool it was to shoot on a roof top of a parking garage with the Tampa skyline in the background, and her mom made her a floral crown.. I mean, come on.
Read moreBayshore Boulevard Senior Session // Micah
What a joy it was to spend time with this truly incredible senior! Micah is not only stunning, smart, and kind hearted, but she is also an incredibly talented artist. We started her session on Bayshore in the backyard of a white house filled with rose gardens. Then we headed to her home where I was able to capture her in her element. Check out the end to see her incredible artwork and boldly colored self portrait. It is always so cool to connect with fellow creatives and I left feeling inspired. I just can't wait to see what her future holds for you girl! Go shine bright :)

Read moreLakeland, FL Newborn //Sebastian
World, meet little Sebastian. Chase and I have had the honor of getting to know Kim and Jose and big brother Noah this past year in our small group. When I heard Kim was expecting a new edition to the family I was truly so excited for them! They are wonderful parents with amazing hearts for the Lord. So when Kim asked if I could come take newborn pictures of Sebastian, I jumped at the opportunity (let's be honest maybe because I just wanted to hold him :))

Man, this family. Where do I start. The Lord sure knew what he was doing when He brought Keri Anne and Will into our lives. This past year I have photographed their family quite a lot!

Read moreSouth Tampa Newborn// The Weibley Family: Miss Emerson
What a joy it was to be able to photograph Emerson when she was only 5 days old. She is the tiniest, cutest little baby girl! Weighing in at only 5 lbs she probably wins for the smallest baby I have ever photographed.

It was so fun to watch them dance the night away! It was such an honor to be a small part of your special day!
