Ballast Point Park family session , Smash cake , Tampa photographer

OMG you have to see these sweet images of Isabella and her family who just moved from NYC!!

This park is one of my favorites in the South are of Tampa. Ballast Point Park has many good spots to shoo a family session, or any other portrait session. We thought about this place when they asked for water background in the Tampa area. The smash cake session was at the end, since we love to do some portraits first with parents , siblings and pets of course!

This time we had time to do ALL of those portraits , just before Isabella’s got into that cute boho style cake. A naked cake by our bakery Deliciously Homemade Bakery Follow her on IG https://instagram.com/deliciouslyhomemadebakery?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU=

When you book with us you get ALL INCLUDED pack, you just have to come with your baby and bring her/him a cute outfit for the session. I normally encourage parents to come with three or even four outfits, the kids normally get a little bit messy or dirty , depending the location but, we totally know how it goes… so we had fun with that and give the parents time to change the baby as many times as they want.

Also we did some posts earlier talking about tips and recommendations to bring that day, like water and wipes are always welcome LOL

Well, enough of talking and lets enjoy a little bit of this cute session. :)

The second and last part of our session was the most exciting and fun! Smash cake was SUPER FUN and PERFECT with Isabella, she is the sweetest. She enjoyed every second of it!! Check out here the images of her best moments during the smash cake.

Clearwater beach engagement session , Clearwater session. Florida engagement

Kyle and Mallory got engaged in the beautiful Clearwater beach just before the storm in November. We met online, Kyle was actually who contacted me to surprise Mallory during their trip to Florida. We talked and discussed the details weeks before. We had to move the session one day before the session date because of the big storm that hit Florida after the hurricane Ian.

Kyle choose to do it super random, we had a plan before to do it during the sunset at the beach , Sand Key beach to be exactly … he was going to bring a picnic basket and he was going to propose there… but we moved the date and the plans. This time he and Mallory were just walking to a bar in Clearwater beach, when suddenly he proposed to her in one knee.

After this special moment, she saw me and understood it was all planned . Then we walk to the beach and did a special session together just before the storm hit Florida that same evening.

The place was empty because of that , so that’s why it looks GREAT and perfect for their session.

Check here some of my favorite moments with them.

After the first part at the beach, it started to rain… so we moved closer to the street to get cover. We started to walk and then we saw the ice cream shop. We got inside and Mallory got an ice cream… it was a perfect ending of the session. Check these last images… we had so much fun at the last part.

Last part here with the ice cream ! Check these images

Congratulations to Kyle and Mallory for their engagement !

Philippe Park Safety Harbor Family session, Christmas mini session

One of the most wonderful places in town is definitely Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. This park has so many spots that give your the BEST views for a portrait session. We love this place and we have been shooting here maternity sessions, family sessions, headshots, portraits, engagement sessions, smash cakes , etc

We met here and we had so many good memories that we decided to go again here and spent a gorgeous afternoon taking their Christmas cards photos.

So many beautiful memories today sharing with you

LOCATION: 2525 Philippe Pkwy , Safety Harbor. Fl 34695
