Month Two {Home is where the heart is}

Well, here we are in month two and it has been a crazy month. Not only are we short on days, but it's also the second month of the year so I feel like there is always so much to do! Or is that just me?
This month, being that it is the "month of love" I decided to use an image I took of my three kiddos in the bench outside of our home. It is in no means a technically perfect image, but it shows what my heart loves and wherever they are, I am at home. For those of you that don't know, my youngest is actually my niece. My husband and I are in the process of adopting her. This image represents the topic so well for me because a home isn't always represented in the traditional sense. A home is made up of all the people you love, and all the people in your life you want to share that unconditional love with. We were just lucky enough to get an addition into our home to add to our love.

Next up on the blog circle is Kristie Serra Photography. Hope to see you next month!

Violet 7 Month {Tampa Child Photographer}

I can't believe the tiny newborn I photographed that could fit inside a fireman's helmet is now practically standing on her own at 7 months! She is such a doll baby and I can't get enough of her gorgeous little face. Check out that smile and those eyes!

Little Ava turns 1! {Land O Lakes Cake Smash}

I can't believe it has already been a year since I photographed this beauty. I love being able to capture moments for families in various phases of their life. When I first met this couple, they were in new family bliss and experiencing all these new emotions and now they have a one year old on their hands who is full of life and personality.

From one year ago

to now. Check out below how little miss Ava celebrated her birthday. 

*I just love her little facial expressions in these next two*

Luquis-Ortiz Maternity Family Session {Tampa Family Photographer}

I was so blessed to be asked to take maternity and family pictures for this adorable family. Their boys are so amazingly cute and well behaved! They were such a joy to photograph! I can't wait to meet the newest member to the Luquis-Ortiz Family!

Fall Mini Sessions 2013 {Tampa, FL}

I am a tad bit behind posting these, and every other session for that matter, but at least I got them posted before fall was over ;) For our fall mini's this year, we went to a few different pumpkin patches and let the kids explore! Take a look...

Sweet Baby A {Land O Lakes Newborn Photographer}

This little girl was so sweet and so tiny and man did she have a big personality for such a little girl! She knew what she liked and even as a newborn she wasn't going to be posed any way she didn't want to be! She let me get some pretty cute shots of her but she wasn't about to do all that over the top posing nonsense :) Her parents are going to have their hands full with this little one!
