Beaming...

If I had to pick one word to describe this couple it would be beaming. Theirs is fairy tale, love-at-first-sight kind of story that is written all over their faces. The love Bill has for Beth is obvious and Beth basks in his glow. Neither of them are camera shy and they both have a great sense of humor which made this shoot so much fun (and so easy) for me. All I had to do was kick back and capture their love as we explored the waterfront in St Petersburg.

I love the wonderful, warm back light in this picture.

As we were waiting to see if the sun was going to turn the sky pink or just fade to dark, Beth and Bill started dancing on the sea wall and I just had to take a few pictures. I can only imagine what their first dance at their wedding will be like!

As it turned out, the sun only gave us a hint of pink as it set.

Congratulations you two and thanks for letting me spend some time basking in your love and excitement. I can't wait to shoot your wedding in August.

GTG Part Deux

One of the nice things about having a GTG with other photographers is having new headshots taken. Where else are you going to have 5-12 top notch photographers at your disposal?

Meet Dawn. Dawn is an awesome person and a talented photographer. (And she's not a bad model either!!!)

Tampa GTG

Meet Amanda and Jordan. They are young and cute and in love. I met up with some other photographers from the area for a Get Together (GTG) in Ybor to take some fun pictures of Amanda and Jordan using the historic area as a backdrop.

Did I mention they are in love? I must have a kazillion pictures of them doing "this". Or almost doing "this". Or getting ready to do "this". Or looking like they wished they were doing "this".

When I said they they were cute I meant they were cute together, as a couple. As you can see, Amanda is gorgeous.

She has a beautiful smile and a personality to match.

Here is some more of them doing "this". Did I already mention how much of "this" was going on? A lot.

Ybor is a wonderful place to shoot with all sorts of cool architecture to use as a backdrop.

I've got to give a big shout out to all of the other photographers who there. It was great to meet all of you and I can't wait to GTG again!

Some Are Blessed...

Every now and then you meet someone that you like instantly. Someone that makes you smile just by being around them. Where you can feel the good radiating from them.

Meet Christie and Blake. They are those kind of someone. And they are going to be parents. Parents to one very lucky little someone.

Meet the soon-to-be new addition to their family.

They can't wait to meet him. I can't wait to meet him. He is going to be surrounded by love and goodness. What a blessing to be born into this family.

Thank you for letting me spend some time with you, allowing me to bask in you goodness and to capture this very special moment in your lives.

I can't wait to meet the little one.
