  • Sai’s Newborn Session {Tampa Bay Newborn Photographer}

    Seema and Maulik brought baby Sai to me just a few weeks ago. Sai wouldn’t have been born yet, he was born premature. He is so so tiny! Being only a few weeks old, he was so calm and easy to be around. Seema and Maulik, you have such a beautiful little boy and I really appreciate that you let me be part of the beginning of his life. I hope you hold onto these photographs forever. Thank you so much for bringing him in to take his newborn photos with us.

    As always, thank you for trusting me to be your Tampa Bay Newborn Photographer..till we meet again! Feel free to check out our portfolio of Tampa Bay Newborn photos here.

  • Best Time of Day for Outdoor Sessions

     

    I tend to get questions about shooting at 12 noon on a Saturday or other day of the week. Our spots tend to fill up quickly for outdoor sessions and here’s why…

    If you see photos that are completely washed out, meaning the face of the subject if VERY white and most, if not all the detail is lost, it’s because the sun was too bright and too harsh for the subject. If we can find a completely shaded area we can get around shooting at this time of the day but unfortunately this is not always possible. Any time between 10 am and 4 pm, the sun is at its brightest. Since we live on the West Coast of Florida, many families enjoy beach scenery in their photos and rightly so, they’re beautiful! When scheduling a session at the beach, usually you’ll want to have photos taken 1 to 2 hours before sunset. The sun casts a beautiful glow on the subjects and area. During bright sunlight, you’ll lose these details we want to capure.

    Sometimes I’ll get calls before a session with worried families that are concerned with the overcast. Not to worry! These are some of the best conditions to shoot under. The clouds diffuse the brightness of the sun and allows us to shoot in a better lighting situation, which means we don’t have to be confined to the shadows and under trees.

    Of course, the beach isn’t the only option for scenic photos. Florida has many beautiful parks and towns to take photos.

    Be sure to book with us as soon as possible if you have a specific date or time in mind for your photos. Call 813.277.6275 or visit us at www.ashleyyvonnephotography.com . I would be happy to discuss timing and location options for you and your family.

    There is always a possibility of taking photos in our studio as well, in which we aren’t limited as much. Please see Studio Sessions can be Creative! to learn more about the advantages of studio sessions.

  • Studio Sessions Can be Creative!

     

    Here at Ashley Yvonne Photography, we offer studio sessions. These aren’t Sears or Walmart sessions, where you get 25 minutes next to a boring backdrop from the 70’s, no time to calm an upset child or baby and offer 1- 8×10, 2- 5×7 and 8 wallets of one chosen pose for $75. If you’d like to capture you child in a beautiful moment with thoughtfully planned scenes, then the scenario described above doesn’t work for you.

    We have done all the work and purchased beautiful backdrops with a variety of patterns and textures. We can set up a scene with baskets and props and blankets. We can even use some personal items of your own which are always the best because they bring special meaning to your photos. If you child needs a moment to recompose, they have time to do so. We’ve chosen only the best labs to print your photos and create beautiful gallery wraps and canvases. You aren’t confined to one pose for every print. You can print any pose and size, no problem. We have you a special online gallery to view your photos and make your choices. Your family may even receive the password to order their own photos.

    I’ve really grown to love my studio sessions just as much as I love my outdoor sessions. Newborns and little boys and girls seem to flourish the most in this type of setting. Think of the Little Cowboy scenes and the Princess scenes we can create.

    Special care and attention are given to every individual that gives us the time to capture the defining moments of their families life. Photos are meant to last forever and document every stage of ones life. It’s worth more than a tv, sofa or car. Only leave it up to someone who cares about you and your special moments.

  • {Holecko Children Portrait} Tampa Bay Family Photographer

    I met the Holecko’s out at their house right outside Tampa. The backyard was right up against a lake where some younger kids were out jet skiing. The shoot was energetic not only because we could see the kids out skiing around the lake but also because of their new puppy Daisy. She ran like a bullet around their backyard. You’ll see some really sophisticated yet playful photos of this young girl.
