The dogs were so adorable this weekend at the Humane Society of Manatee County’s “Paws in Motion” walk-a-thon.  We set up a booth there and also took pictures of the event.  It was a HOT day but well worth the sweat, just to see all those dogs walking with their owners for a good cause!!  For those of you who were at Paws in Motion and would like to see the photos, click here:

This link will take you to a separate site- in the box that says Name, type in “Paws in Motion” and the date of 5/17/08.  The password is “puppy” in all lowercase letters.  Have fun looking at the pics!  Here are a few of my favorite pet photographs and a few of the Walk-a-Thon:

Tarah is so excited to see her wedding photos, I decided to stay in my office a bit late tonight to get a sneak preview up on the blog!  We got some really nice pictures- their wedding was last weekend at Gamble Plantation in Ellenton.  What a perfectly gorgeous day for a wedding- it was hot but sunny- a typical Florida May day!  It was a beautiful ceremony and I LOVED photographing their precious baby girl too!  Best of luck Tarah & Ken- I can’t wait to show you the rest of your pictures later this week!  Enjoy your preview…

We photographed an AWESOME family & baby expo this weekend in Tampa!   It was the first year for Everything 4 The Baby, and the turnout was great- over 700 people came and checked it out.  Check ‘em out at www.everything4thebaby.com.  Let’s hope for another expo in our area soon!

There were some great exhibitors there- over 60 actually- among them were:

Seedlings- you gotta check out their website if you like unique things for your kids- www.seedlings.com

La Leche League for mother to mother support and breastfeeding- www.lllflorida.com

Yoga Waves Tampa- they can come to your house for private yoga lessons, how cool is that? www.yogawaves.com

Baby Bottoms- the cutest stuff for your baby’s bottom- www.babybottoms.biz

Tampa Bay Doula care was there too, and lots of other really great businesses to help expectant and new parents- by far one of the greatest events we’ve been a part of.  We even gave away two $500 gift certificates for photography sessions- congrats to our winners- we look forward to working with you =) Also- check out the next issue of Tampa Bay Parenting magazine- our pics will be featured! 

I had one of the most fun photo shoots I’ve done yet, with the radio personalities from the Skip Mahaffey morning show on Tampa Bay’s 103.5.   We took some urban shots in the streets of Ybor City in Tampa, to give them some fresh looks for their new website.   They are so hilarious and awesome to work with!  Check ‘em out at http://www.us1035.com! 

 High school seniors- this is an AWESOME place to do a photo shoot!  If you have a session with me coming up this summer, we might consider heading that way- urban shots have a cool edge and are lots of fun to take! 

Charmaine and Nicholas had their unique wedding ceremony on board the Starlite Princess dinner cruise out of St. Petersburg.  What an awesome ambience for a wedding!  Here are a few shots we took on board… 

I have to say, such cuteness is hard to come by!  Little N & N, who are one year old boy/girl twins, had a good time toddling around while I chased them and got some adorable pictures!  They are just gorgeous and that curly hair was too sweet…I really tried to capture those special interactions between them, and got some nice individual shots as well.  Enjoy the sneak peek! 

I wanted to blog this recent maternity photo session because I just LOVED the images we got.  I think we had over 60 proofs and even then it was so hard to choose the best ones.  This little guy is going to be SUCH a great big brother- we had fun playing with his Disney Cars characters, and I wish you all the best of luck with your new little one!  The first image was my personal fave…
