When Ashley first came to me with the idea of doing a shoot with a tarantula, I wasn’t sure what to think. I’m not the biggest fan of spiders, but the little guy grew on me and I may have even touched it. This shoot will be one for the books for me and I couldn’t have been more excited to collaborate with such a wonderful team!

Family Photographer | St. Petersburg, FL
A couple of years ago I met a beautiful woman named, Gloria. I met Gloria through my husband's grandmother, Funny Granny at a meeting for the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary. Gloria has been dedicating her time to the Salvation Army for quite some time and drives all the way from Dade City to do so. The women of the Women's Auxiliary are truly extraordinary women and I was so excited when Gloria asked me to come out to Dade City to photograph her family. Funny Granny told me before our shoot that Gloria had the most adorable grandkids, but I wasn't prepared for this! How cute are these girls??? They seriously just melted my heart.

Nicole and Clay have such a beautiful family and I was so grateful that I was able to capture such a sweet moment in their life. It's a girl!!!
Holiday Mini Sessions | Tampa, FL
Holiday Mini Sessions are back! This year instead of picking one date, I've decided to let you pick the date and location that works best for you. Isn't that exciting! That leaves it open for you to decide if you'd like pictures of you and your family dressing your Christmas tree, at the beach, in front of the beautifully lit tree in Hyde Park, it's entirely up to you. This is the busiest time of year, so please make sure you contact me soon to get your date reserved.
Each mini session is a half an hour. There will be a minimum of 15 images hosted in a private online gallery for you to view. With your session you will receive your selection of 5 high resolution digital files with printing rights and a copy of each image sized to share on social media. You will also receive 25 hand designed foil pressed holiday cards with the image of your choice. A $35 travel fee will be added to all locations beyond 20 miles from my home, 33611. If you are interested in one of my basic mini sessions for $250, they are also available for the holidays.
