Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg Family and Lifestyle Photography

I loved this session with a beautiful mother and daughter (and puppies!) -- taken on a sea breeze filled, sunny Florida afternoon.  Dawna wanted me to create photographs that she and her daughter can cherish forever.  Here are a few of my favorites...

The special mother/daughter bond was obvious.

I love to create photographs of everyday life - the "mundane" things that we do every day that, in retrospect, become the most special memories.  Like dog treat time in the kitchen!

"He's more myself than I am.  

Whatever our souls are made of, 

his and mine are the same."  

~Emily Bronte

In all the world,

there is no heart for me like yours.

In all the world,

there is no love for you like mine.

~Maya Angelou

Come live with me,

and be my love.

And we will some new pleasures prove.

Of golden sands and crystal brooks, 

with silken lines, and silver hooks.

~John Donne

"My heart is, and always will be, yours."

Sense & Sensibility

My mother always said I had my head in the clouds.  I admit it, I always have been, and always will be, a hopeless romantic ... and there's nothing more romantic than a wedding!  I would love to capture your special day!  ~Melinda, This Life Photography

Nicole & Gabe's Engagement Session - Orlando, FL

I had the pleasure of taking Nicole and Gabe's engagement photographs, and thought I'd share a few with you!!  We went to one of my favorites spots to shoot in Orlando - historic Church Street, which has so much character!  

Are they an adorable couple, or what?

Nicole's mom recently described them as a sweet, happy and fun couple, and I couldn't have said it any better.
