"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 :)

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 :))

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.

Read moreDavis Island, Florida: Jessie Wacaser
“I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.”
