  • Three Siblings Children Photographer of Tampa

    Like I said, my friends have plenty of kids and I love them! I adore having them over. The M Family kids came over to my house recently to spend some a weekend with us so that their parents could enjoy their 9th Anniversary away from Tampa. Now, I haven’t had any children spend the night with me, ever. I know I’m good with kids so this wasn’t a daunting thing for me. My husband on the other hand, he was nervous. He hasn’t had to share our home with kids for more then a few hours but I am truly happy and proud of how he reacted, he was great!

    First thing, I knew I needed to have plenty of crafts available to us. I’m pretty sure I bought all of Michaels on my first trip. That’s right, I said first trip. We went back one more time once they were at my house because I forgot “those puffy things”. We made Costume masks, painted stained glass and worked on another craft that I couldn’t even tell you the name of.

    While they were here, I knew we had to do something special for Mom and Dad so we made special Happy Anniversary cards from magazine cut outs for them. And since I happen to have a very lovely photography studio in my home, we took photos too.

    The photos, the cards, everything went over so great with them and the kids were so happy to give these to them. These kids are BEAUTIFUL!

  • Photography Discounts

    I recently read a blog from a fellow photographer out of Virginia. (Go Hokies!) It hit hard and the topic is something I’ve been dwelling on for quite some time. After many, many hours of education on business and financial management, this is one of the MAIN topics of discussion:

    Photography Discounts

    It’s so difficult for me to turn people down when they tell me how much they love photography but just can’t afford my pricing. Now, I’ve made sure I’m not the most expensive in the Tampa Bay area for Family photos. In fact, my pricing is competitive for the amount of experience. Its been on my mind a lot if I should be giving so many discounts. I love my clients and I love that you all love photography as much as I do. But the bottom line is, I spend a lot of time away from my husband and other family and friends. It does effect me. I don’t mind working weekends to a certain extent. But it’s unfortunate for my family and I if I have to consider supplemental income because I’m giving things away for free. I can assure you the business costs are no where near free.

    I have tried to reduce my overhead costs by having a studio in my home and making my own props but that’s not even half of costs. With a heavy heart, I have to say No, even when I want to say yes to a discount so you may have “the most amazing family photos” , I just can’t do it. I cannot work for free. As my husband often says in relation to any business ” If an individual has a surplus of money one month, they aren’t going to call you and ask to pay you more, so no one should expect a discount.” I regularly remind myself of this.

    With that said, I view this as an opportunity to remind everyone to save up for those yearly family photos. Just as you save up for a new outfit, a new car, a toy, etc.. I recognize the economy we are in and have adjusted my pricing to reflect that but remember the value of your family photos will never depreciate. You’ll remember these family photos for life but you probably won’t remember that new outfit you purchased last week. Your great grandchildren will see these photos but they won’t see that new outfit

    I do offer limited edition sessions as well as incentives like my Referral Program, which you can find here.

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

  • Matt & Kara Engagement {Tampa Bay Wedding Photographer}

    Matt & Kara are an amazing couple I met at University of Tampa. They are so wonderful!! I had an amazing time out with them on such a perfect day. I asked them a few questions about themselves and their plans for their wedding so that you could get to know them like I did.

    How did you two meet?

    We met at The Rack at a mutual friend’s birthday party.  It was actually kind of funny because we were both working at the same place at the time, but in different departments, so we had never crossed each other’s paths.  Once we realized we worked near each other we started taking our breaks together.

    What do you two love to do together the most?

     We love riding our bikes together when we have the chance.  It is so convenient living in South Tampa because we are biking distance from a variety of restaurants.  We even made a list of restaurants we want to try, but there are so many to choose from!

    How did he propose? (If you would like to mention about him proposing atop the tallest building in the world, that is up to you)

    Matt’s family lives outside of Dubai in the U.A.E.  While we were visiting last Christmas, Matt tried proposing on top of the Burj Khalifia, the world’s tallest building.  I am very shy, so when I noticed what he was doing I whispered; “you better not do that up here!”  Needless to say he changed up the plan and proposed in the hotel room later that evening.  It makes for a funny story.

    When and Where will your wedding be?

    We are getting married June 29th at Old Town Manor in Key West.  It is a bed and breakfast located one block from Duval Street.  We are looking forward to having a relaxing yet fun weekend celebrating with our close friends and family.

    What made you decide to choose a destination wedding?

    After Matt proposed, I initially started planning for a big wedding.  We both realized during the process that the traditional wedding was not for us.  Once we started exploring other options, we both fell in love with the idea of a carefree destination wedding.  We decided on Key West because we both enjoy the keys and would love to begin our life together there.

    Where will you go on your Honeymoon?

    We are spending our honeymoon in Chile.  Matt is dying to check out the world’s largest pool, and I am hoping to visit some of the wineries.  I minored in Spanish in college and I think Matt also wants to laugh at me while I attempt to speak with the locals!

    Congratulations you two!!! I had a great time with you guys!
