Kenzie's Dance Flour Shoot

1/20/2019

Kenzie and I had some fun with flour in my Clearwater studio today. How cool are these!?! Totally worth the 30 minutes of flour cleanup afterwards!!!

My partner keeps telling me that I need to show more of what goes on behind the scenes. The final images are always nice to deliver to my clients, but don't always show off how much time I put into editing them.

One of my favorite parts of photography is the editing process. I love seeing the potential from a raw photo turn into a work of art. While this photo only took a few minutes in the studio (and many, many, many takes), I spent much more time perfecting the final product.

Do you all like seeing the before & after photos? I'd love to hear your feedback!

Welcome to the world, Maximus

1/5/2019

Maximus was two days shy of his one month birthday when he came to my Clearwater studio! I typically only photograph babies between 4-14 days old, but when his mom contacted me, I just couldn't say no, and I'm so glad I didn't! Maximus completely rocked his mini newborn session at one month old!

Jordan is One!

12/27/2018

Jordan's mom came up with the perfect theme for his December 31st birthday - a new year's celebration! I loved this whole set - the black & gold just popped against the white backdrop without taking away from Jordan and his sweet little face! Plus, you can't go wrong with a baby boy in suspenders and a bow tie!

Danielle & Rudy were a dream to photograph! Not only were they the sweetest couple, we also ended up on the beach one day after a crazy storm, so the waves were huge and the sky was full of cool clouds!
