Bun in the Oven

I looked out of the studio and giggled as I saw Trisha and Dan strolling up for their maternity portrait session.  Dan had his shirts all neatly folded over his arm and Trisha rolled a huge suitcase behind her.  I could only imagine the goodies she had inside for us to photograph her and her beautiful (and oh so tiny) belly in!  We all laughed and I assured them that this is what every expecting mom brings to her maternity session (ok, so maybe the suitcase is more an overnight style bag  :)   ).  I was thrilled to see all of the fun stuff that she pulled out, Dan just laughed and rolled with it. Trisha is a stylist at Salon Lofts in South Tampa and has a definite sense of style.  Dan owns Memorabilia Magic on Willow Ave in South Tampa (Pete is so jealous!).  Here are some of my faves:I loved photographing your maternity session, Trisha and Dan.  I am really looking forward to your newborn session and meeting your baby girl!

And Baby Makes 4

It seems like  I was just photographing Sophia’s newborn portraits- and now she is going to be a big sister.  And she cannot be more thrilled!  (And if her baby sister is as much fun to photograph as she is, I am in for a treat!)  Take a peek at Claudine and Sophia’s recent maternity session at my studio.

I cannot wait to photograph the newest member of the U. family.  Claudine, I know you have been through so much and this little blessing will make all that seem like a blur.  Continue to feel well and enjoy this special time.  Sophia, I know you will be the best big sister! xo  :) A

Awaiting “The Evil Queen” (Tampa maternity/pregnancy photographer)

Or at least that is how her big brother, Logan, refers to her.  He doesn’t mean anything mean by it.  You see, he is 3, and Disney is his most favorite place in the whole, wide world.  So it is appropriate that he refer to his baby sister as “The Evil Queen”, right?  For the rest of us, we will call her Layne.  Though I will call her Laynie.  After all, I call her mom, Bud- and have done so since the 10th grade.  Long story, but it has stuck and that is how we still refer to each other.  Vicky and I have been best friends since elementary school.  Though we went to separate colleges (myself to the University of Florida for undergrad and the University of South Florida for graduate school) and her to Florida Atlantic University for undergrad and “that other state university” for graduate school), our paths brought us both to Tampa Bay, and to 7 houses away from each other.  Our husbands have even become the best of friends, too (and we often talk about how much it would stink if they did not get along! :) )  We were the maids-of-honor in each others weddings, in each other’s delivery rooms for the births of our children, and soon I will get to do it again as Vicky and Adam welcome  their daughter into the world next month.  Here are some of my faves from their recent maternity session at my studio.  The last has to be my favorite…well, just because that is the epitome of a 3 year old- ha!

Bud, Adam, and Logie…I love you all with my whole heart and am so thrilled for you.  Cannot wait to cuddle Laynie and share the love!

On a side note, still trying to navigate my new blog- and  I have ALOT of work to do.    Click on each thumbnail above to see the enlarged version…pretty cool! Also, look to your left for my Facebook Fan page link.   So much to learn over here.  I feel like an old dog sometimes who does not want to learn new tricks.  But I guess I have to grow with the times, kicking and screaming- ha!   Baby steps.  Have a great week!  :) A

Jennifer + Bill….expecting! (Tampa maternity/pregnancy photography)

Maternity portraits are among my favorite types of portraits to create.  So often the mommies-to-be feel less than fabulous, and it is up to me to help them feel beautiful and celebrate their curves.  I loved doing this with Jennifer and Bill.  They are expecting their first baby, and are overwhelmed with joy and excitement!  tampa-maternity-pregnancy-photographytampa-maternity-pregnancy-photography-2Funny side note….I consider myself to be pretty tall (about 5’9″ on a good day), but Jen and Bill and very tall!  My studio ceiling is pitched but I kept catching it into my frame with many of my shots.  Bill told me a funny story that I just had to share.  While volunteering at a local elementary school, he overheard some young children talking as they walked past him.  One said to the other “Is he a GIANT??”.  HA!  Out of the mouths of babes!  Here is one more of the “giants” with me shooting from a stool.tampa-maternity-pregnancy-photography-1Can’t wait to photograph your baby girl, Jennifer and Bill!  So happy for you!!  :) Andi

Anticipation…… (Tampa Maternity/Pregnancy Photography)

Maternity photography to me is such a treat!  I love capturing a woman’s curves and beauty as she awaits with anxious anticipation the most exciting experience of her life.  Heather simply glowed with a quite beauty.  And we had alot to chat about, being that she too was a gymnast growing up.  We probably even competed against each other back in the day!  Ahh, to have my gymnast abs back again…but I digress- ha!  Back to maternity portraits!  Heather is so elegant- she truly radiates!tampa-maternity-photographertampa-pregnancy-maternity-photographyCan’t wait to meet your new little bundle and capture your newborn portraits, Heather and Jay!  Enjoy this special time- and try to go on a “baby moon” before the baby arrives- you will love it!
