Ray and Nadiah’s Engagement Album- FIRST PLACE!

Once a month I attend the Professional Photographers of America’s local guild, the Tampa Area Professional Photographers Association (TAPPA).  Our guild consists of over 150 local Tampa Bay photographers coming together for education, camaraderie, and print competition.  Tonight I entered Ray and Nadiah’s engagement album into the competition.   Just before they handed out the awards, I looked over at the table of albums that did not place and swore I saw mine.  My heart sank a little as I was hoping place third and quite honestly, I am my own worst critic.  I am thrilled to say, the album took FIRST place!  Such an honor as the entries are voted on by my peers.  Click on the arrow to view a slideshow of their album.

With such a beautiful couple, I cannot wait to design their next album after their wedding in July!  :)

Amber+David…Engaged! (Tampa Engagement Photography)

Amber and David make me smile.  Maybe because I can tell that they make each other smile so much.  And isn’t that what love and marriage are all about?!  I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this fall- I know it will be as fun as they are!  I wanted to make sure to get some teasers up for them asap, but I have so many more to share.  I just have a feeling Amber (and her mom, Diane, of D’ Darling Designs) are about to pop with excitement, so I wanted to give them a little something to look at over the weekend.Amber, you are so beautiful it is ridiculous!  David, love the way you rock it out.  So happy to be able to capture your special day for you!  :) A

Ray + Nadiah….Engaged! (Tampa/St. Petersburg engagement photography)

You know that feeling you get when you are around two people who absolutely adore each other? Well, you cannot help but feel that warm, mushy feeling when you are around Nadiah and Ray. They are completely “smitten” with each other- and I am the lucky one who gets to capture their love at their engagement session and at their upcoming wedding in July! I LOVE my job! I LOVE engagement sessions, too. It gives me the chance to get to know my clients before their “big day”- kind of like a dress rehearsal.  It allows them to get in front of my camera and play, and quite honestly- to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed (yes, I realize that not everyone LOVES being in front of the camera like I do, ha! I realize it can be quite intimidating, so I try to make it as fun and carefree as possible- often making myself look like a boob in the process, but oh well!). Here are just a few of my faves from Ray and Nadiah’s engagement session.  Merry Christmas Ray and Nadiah- and thanks for the chocolates (Ray works for Ghirardelli and dropped off a little treat for me the other day, and I am a chocolate freak!  I have the best clients!!)tampa-engagement-photography-71tampa-engagement-photographytampa-engagement-photography-41tampa-engagement-photography-3tampa-engagement-photography-51tampa-engagement-photography-2tampa-engagement-photography-82tampa-engagement-photography-62
