And Baby Makes Three.

Like I said, there have been a bunch of babies being born and I've been lucky to shoot some of the cutest, littlest, squishiest, sweetest ones. This precious girl is only 8 days old which is perfect for this kind of shoot. The younger they are the more they sleep, the more they sleep, the more pictures like this one you can take.

And this one.

I love how she is all tucked in like a football in this picture.

She really was a tiny thing. Her head wasn't even big enough to fill her mom's hands.

She liked to sleep squished up and half folded over.

Mom may not be getting any sleep, but you wouldn't know it.

I love the next three pictures with Dad.

His sweet gentle love was a contrast to his fiery tattoo.

Vern - this one's for you. I hope you're feeling better!

Introducing...

This precious baby is just one of many that I have had the joy of shooting lately.  She was an absolute doll. 

Congratulations Mom & Dad.

Family Ties.

Meet Stephen and Anne and their three lovely daughters. They are going to be featured in a local magazine and needed a family picture. This is take two. The first time we scheduled the shoot a big storm rolled in and the lighting was dark and dreary. It didn't match their personalities at all so we rescheduled. This time a cold front had just moved in and it was chilly out-especially when the wind blew which was a lot. But the lighting was nice and they were troopers. Here are just a few of the shots I like.

These sisters are awesome. They were great fun to shoot. Climbing up in this tree was their idea - I swear!

So can you see who the girls get their good looks from? (Sorry Stephen!)

This family has a great personality, great kids and a great location for shooting. I'd come back any time.

In The First Month.

In the first month you will fall more in love than you ever thought possible. Even with the never ending dirty diapers and sleepless nights your love grows by leaps and bounds daily. And after only an hour together he captured my heart.

Cathy & Carlos - thanks for introducing me to this mellow little man and letting me shoot his debut.

Precious little body parts....

Dad loves his little man.

And mom's in love too.

These are just a few of my favorites. There were many, many more. Wait till you see the ones with his big brother.


They change so fast. In just a blink of eye they go from being tiny and helpless to little people with their own personalities. Whether it is a Day in the Life Session, part of a Watch Me Grow package or a Baby Portrait Session, capture this time before it's gone.

Cutie Pie...

Isn't she the sweetest little cutie pie?!?! Full of energy and attitude! Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot.

Here's What I'm Doing This Weekend.

I'm shooting at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix this weekend. It's very exciting and very loud.

Here is Dancing With the Stars Winner Helio Castroneves. He won the St Pete Grand Prix last year.

Love + Laughter = LIFE

Encyclopedia Britannica defines a mantra as a sacred utterance (syllable, word, or verse) that is considered to possess mystical or spiritual powers.

This is my mantra:

It really sums up my purpose with my photography. I don't just want to take pictures. I want to capture the moments that make your life yours... from the big milestones to the everyday events.

I have been shooting weddings and family portraits for more than 3 years, but before I started shooting these big milestones I spent 10 years in news documenting everyday life on film and video. And although I look forward with great anticipation to the big milestones - my son's first baseball game, my daughter's first dance recital, it is thinking about the daily events with them that makes my heart swell and brings a smile to my face. A walk along the beach with their little hands in mine. A play date with their grandparents or trip to the zoo. Bubble baths and playing at the park. It's the daily events filled with the love and laughter that make up life that I don't want to forget.

They grow up so fast. Capture the joys of childhood forever with a Day in the Life Session. For more information please contact me at e2fl@aol.com.
