K.J. is ONE!!!

Well, technically not until Tuesday. But still... Some of our best friends, Kevin and Ana had this beautifully sweet baby boy a year ago, and everyone has been in love ever since. K.J. has a smile to melt your heart and eyes, well... you'll see his eyes...

Yesterday, we celebrated his 1st birthday at Lake Park in Tampa. It couldn't have been a more perfect day.

Kevin, Ana and KJ - We are truly blessed to have you in our lives. We are so happy that we are able to share these special moments with you. We love you all! K+R







Kev - as a fellow baker, I must say I am VERY proud of your cake!

















I <3 this one...



...and this one :)























Happy Birthday, Sweetheart, we love you!

Happy Birthday

Today marks the 30th birthday of my husband, soul mate, lover and bestest friend. I've spent the last 10 years admiring this man. I love every moment we spend together and yet it never seems to be long enough. He is my air, the love of my life. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us.

I love you, Rick. <3

I met up with one of my favorite former brides today, Jessica. We went out the Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa. We had a blast running around, gabbing and well, laughing. It's wonderful when you can cultivate relationships that blossom into a friendship. :)

Jess - I had a great time out and about with you today. Can't wait to do it again soon!








































And perhaps my favorite shot of the day... this was during our discussion about Killer Squirrels... As you can see... terrifying! LOL :)

So... this weekend I spent an amazing night with some of the coolest people ever. Jenny and Chris had a wonderful wedding. One of the best parties I have ever been to... I could literally go on and on and on about these two and their wonderful wedding party. So, I'm going to skip all the mushiness and get right on to the pictures... :)

Jenny and Chris - I wish you a lifetime and a half of happiness. Thank you for inviting me into your lives. I hope that you can make it back to Florida soon!!! Enjoy VEGAS!!!!

So, hello my Internet friends... It's been a while and oh, how I've missed you...

I shot for a friend, James Zambon, this past Friday at Mirror Lake Lyceum. It was a beautiful wedding with a super gracious couple. Here are a few of my favorites from the evening...

The flowers were beautiful...

Angela [everyday] - Tampa Bay Portrait Photographer

I took my dear friend Angela out to Ybor this weekend, to shoot around. It was one of the better weekends that we have had in quite some time here. It was surprisingly quiet in Ybor this weekend. We had a great time and found some great locations...

I'm beginning to find that alleyways are some of my favorite spots!
