Circle of Friends Reunion on St. Petersburg Beach

Posted in Giving Back...., Personal Stuff, Photography

It is that time of year again- the reunion trip for the Circle of Friends and I cannot wait!  Every year we take children with cancer and blood disorders from all around the United States to Wausau, WI for a fun filled winter trip.  And every other year we have a  reunion trip with the kids from the previous 2 winter trips.  This year it will be on St. Petersburg Beach.  Pete and I are honored to be a part of this amazing organization for the past 10 years.  (I am especially proud of Pete who helped to organized the entire trip this summer!)  The kids are beyond amazing and the experience for the adults may be even more rewarding than for the kids.  Check out my diary for frequent updates as I am also the camp’s photographer.  If you would like to support the Foundation, please contact us at 813-601-3825 or peterb@samter.com.  You can follow us on Facebook, too.

The studio will be closed Wednesday through Sunday.  Feel free to shoot me an email and I will try my best to be in touch prior to next week.  :)

The Mike Alstott Family Foundation

Posted in Giving Back....

I had the honor and pleasure of being the photographer for the Mike Alstott Family Foundation‘s Golf Pairings Party for the Celebrity Outdoor Weekend on Sunday in Clearwater.  The event benefited the Children’s Cancer Center and the Wunsch Family Foundation.  I was overwhelmed by the amazing support shared by all of the guests at this very special annual event.  Golfers jumped at the opportunity to select their favorite celebrities to tee it up with.  Some of the names included Mike Alstott, Brooke Bennett, Jerry Wunsch, Capt. Monte Colburn (from The Deadliest Catch), Skip Holtz, Austin King, Fred McGriff, Ryan Nece, Dexter Jackson, and David Wells to name a few.  Pete got to play with Mark Royals and Yo Murphy (and he claims he gave them a run for their money…ha!) 

Check out some more images from the evening here. (All proceeds to benefit the Mike Alstott Family Foundation.)  Thrilled to be a part of the event, Mike, Nicole, and Rich.  Thank you for giving so much back to Tampa Bay!

The Circle of Friends 2010

Posted in Giving Back...., Personal Stuff, Photography, Tampa

Pete and I have been very blessed to be a part of the Circle of Friends for the past 10 years.  When our friend Jerry Wunsch was the offensive tackle for the Bucs, he started the Wunsch Family Foundation.  His goal was to provide children with cancer with emotional, motivational, and memorable experiences.  Each year we take children with cancer from around the country to Jerry’s hometown of Wassau, WI for an amazing winter trip.  Several other NFL players join us as well, bringing children from their hometowns.  It is hard to describe in words the magical experiences that the children (and counselors) have while on the trip.  As not only a counselor, but as the trip photographer, I will be tasked with trying to capture the fun, emotion, and joy that we experience.  We leave tomorrow and return Sunday (so the studio will be closed).  I will be posting images on my blog throughout the trip, so check back often to experience some of the magic!  To read a recent article on the Circle of Friends, click here.circle-of-friends

Locks Of Love, Level 2 Salon, and Andi Diamond Photography…..

Posted in Giving Back...., Personal Stuff, Photography, Tampa

What an amazing day Saturday was in Hyde Park Village!  Level 2 Salon hosted Locks of Love and Andi Diamond Photography was there to capture the joy, tears, and excitement!  Over 40 ponytails were collected for Locks of Lock, to help them in their quest to provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada suffering from long-term medical hair loss (usually from cancer).  So many stories to tell…but I will let the images speak for themselves.  I have to start by giving a huge pat on the back to all of the staff of Level 2 and volunteers from the Krewe of South Shore Marauders for their help and commitment!level-2-lock-for-love7level-2-lock-for-love-1level-2-lock-for-love-21So many incredible, beautiful transformations!  Check out the befores (and durings..) and afters!level-2-locks-for-love-3level-2-locks-for-love-4level-2-locks-for-love-5level-2-locks-for-love-81level-2-locks-for-love-6level-2-locks-for-love-10level-2-locks-for-love-11level-2-locks-for-love-7level-2-locks-for-love-91I am so thrilled that I got to be a part of this amazing experience.  Tami and Martha at Level 2 Salon- you ROCK!  Sylvia with the Krewe- great job with such a successful event!  Thanks for allowing me to capture these very special moments.  It made my day!   :) Andi
