Beckley Birth Session

Births are my very favorite thing to shoot. I love the struggle, the drama, the highs and lows and tension that builds until this incredible moment of joy. I recently had the pleasure of photographing a dear friend and fellow photographer's birth at Tampa General Hospital. It was such a privilege to be there and to capture this beautiful day for her and her family. Here are a few of my favorites from this very large gallery. 

 

The Kocot Family

Due to a career change (because yes, I have a separate day job), I paused in taking photography clients from February until October. But this fall, I had the privilege of photographing this lovely family that I met through church. They are a delightful group, all of them have such a heart for family and investing in people and caring for their community, so it was my pleasure to spend a Saturday morning with them behind my camera. 

 

The Walker Family

Now that we are settled in the Tampa Bay area, I'm ready to launch my photography business in January 2017. It's time to move beyond the stock photography work I've been doing, and time to start taking clients. In preparation, I've been putting together a few shoots to beef up my web portfolio (which will be coming SOON), and last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Walker family. The Walkers live in our neighborhood, our kids play together and along the way, the grown ups forged a friendship as well. We adore this family, and it was such an honor to get to take their family portraits. 

I won't spoil the entire gallery, since the Walkers may have some grand plans for these images, but here are a few of my favorites from the session.
