Photographed these two cuties earlier this fall in Sweden. Aren’t they so cute. I think you can really tell they were rocking this shoot. 🙂 And I can so see little sister looking up to big sis for some sisterly love and support. Sweet captures!

Had the opportunity to photograph this little cutie back in September while in Sweden. We did a inside/outside shoot, which is so much fun. Capturing the little ones in different environments really gives me a chance to be more creative. I just love window light. Is it not gorgeous? We photographed on a rainy dark day but with big windows and the light from the right direction it can still be really nice.

What a sweet little girl this is! Photographed her and her mother ( a long time friend) while I was in Sweden this summer. I absolutely love the woodsy shots. It is just SO pretty in Sweden, and I am not just saying that because that is where I am from. No, it really is so pretty and clean, and the air is yummy. SO fresh. This little young girl was so happy and cooperative. I hope to get a chance to photograph her again, a little older. Sara, your daughter is sooooooooooooooooo sweet!

I wanted to create sort of a magical, magical and magical shoot. Well I am not sure I totally succeeded, but I also did not give myself very much time to make it happen. It was sort of come on, now is the time, grabbed my niece who always models for me with no complaints! 🙂 The night was beautiful as well as the setting. I am so happy with these images, magical or not. 🙂

This couple is amazing for a photographer to photograph. They just know what to do. OMG, how fun is that. This shoot should have been blogged a couple of months ago. Why did i forget? Well these images needs to be shared. This shoot was meant to be a shoot to create a few images for this couple’s business webpage which you can find here www.realsparks.net and we did get some nice images for that, but after we had completed what we were there to do, the fun began. The shoot in my eyes turned into something more like a movie. I had so much fun with different setting and a fun comfortable couple. So enjoy the many different images. Also, a few weeks after this shoot I learned that this gorgeous couple had gotten ENGAGED! You can see their photos from their engagement session earlier in my blog.(Sorry not sure how I link to it, bare with me I am learning.)

Had the pleasure of photographing Kathryn with Kathryn Cole Jewelry the other night. She is such a talented jewelry designer. If you haven’t already you must visit her website, and more so if you are local, visit her shop in the arcade on the 600 block on Central Ave. here in downtown Saint Petersburg.

We did a mother/daughter shoot and used the lovely Weedon Island as backdrop. Saint Petersburg really has so many amazing places to visit and explore. Weedon Island is maybe my favorite place, after Fort de Soto. This place is so beautiful, peaceful and magical all at the same time. So perfect to come at any time, bring some food and just explore. Some days we see a lot of wildlife, some day we see none. This time we were surprised by jumping bunnies, a raccoon, an armadillo!!!, and some little crabs. The weather was fabulous but we could have done without the little no see em’s. Right girls??

Every parent know parenthood is not easy. It is quite hard. It is harder than most any job. It is a being there for another human being 24 hours a day. It is answering needs, it is providing food, it is being fun and playful, it is being responsible for another life, and giving it a good try at making sure this person becomes a much better version of one self. It is HARD. But it is SO worth it all.
