Katherine Scruggs Photography bio picture

Thanks for stopping by!

You found me!  Thanks for visiting my site.  I've made a big change to it for 2009.  I've ditched the typical photography site with all the slide shows and rolled everything into one place. This new site is more me, its personal and interactive.  It shows all of my recent work as well as some posts based on my own life and family, plus the occasional random thought. I hope you like the change.  If something moves you, please send me some love in the comment sections, they are available on every post.



Tampa Newborn Photographer | Piano Girl

You’ve already met Sarahtia from her birth session.  But here she is at 11 days old, all settled into life with Mommy and Daddy.  You may also remember that her Daddy plays piano and has written Sarahtia several lullabies.  Both of her parents have beautiful voices and I bet this little angel grows up singing and playing right along with them.  When Matthew started playing her one of the lullaby’s during the session, she was cradled in his arms with one little eye open, peeking at him and listening intently.  So, very sweet.

Tampa Newborn Photographer | Double the Pleasure

This was my first time ever photographing newborn twins and these boys treated me nicely.  They both slept for most of the session, and I even managed to catch little Sam smiling and showing off his dimples.

Karen and Travis, you’ve outdone yourselves.  They are such handsome boys and so, so sweet.  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek from your session.

Tampa Birth Photographer | The birth of Sarahtia

Sarahtia arrived on her own time, four days late and many, many, many hours later.  Her momma was amazing.  I still don’t quite know how she stayed so focused and calm for such a long labor.  I was actually at the birth center for 22 hours and momma’s labor had already been underway for a good length of time prior to me arriving.

But we all know, good things are worth the wait.  Sarahtia was born at Labor of Love in Lutz.  This is the second birth I have experienced at Labor of Love.  Sarahtia had a water birth.  I do believe the water is what helped Toni survive for so long, as it seemed to take some of the pressure off of her.

Here’s a little peek at the perfect new bundle of pink.

Tampa Senior Photographer | Fun in the Sun

I recently had a super fun session at Clearwater Beach with AJ and his family.  AJ is looking forward to his senior year and finishing high school.  They live in a northern state, far away from our heat and humidity.  His family vacations here in Florida and this is where he wanted to take his senior pictures.  I was delighted when his Mom contacted me and asked if I would do the honor.

We were so lucky with the weather.  There was a storm headed our direction but it stayed put until after the session.  We had a blast at the beach and around town and found so many great locations to capture the look AJ wanted.

I hope you love the sneak peek.

Tampa Family Photographer | Double Digits

My baby girl is now 10….double digits.  Oh, so sad it is.  But how wonderful to watch her turn into a young lady.  She is so many things. I adore how caring she is about others and that she loves animals.  She plans on being a conservationist when she grows up and I believe she will be.

She is absolutely the funniest of all of our children.  She has such a wicked sense of humor and doesn’t miss a beat to drop the punch line that you never saw coming.  We roll with laughter at the many funny things she says.  I wish I had written them all down over the years, because it would be hilarious to read them when she is much older.

So, she officially turned ten yesterday - July 29th and apparently she now has the right to leave nasty notes on her door addressed to her older sister (12) and younger brother (8).  She has complained for some time that they make a mess in her room whenever they come in, so I guess she is putting her foot down.  I had to share this because I thought it was quite funny when I bumped into it.  She never ceases to surprise me and I hope she never stops.

Here is my dear sweet girl Madison and her love note……………..(p.s.  Jordan is her older sister (19), Kennedy is the dog and Frisco is Madison’s cat)

It’s their decision to disrupt the natural balance of Madison’s domain???

Wrecking rampage?

Oh, my! My stomach hurts from laughter.  I hope you enjoy!

July 30, 2009 - 1:27 pm kori clark - I am rolling with laughter!! My favorite part is that she is "sad to have to do this" Hilarious! Happy Birthday double digits!

July 30, 2009 - 5:43 pm Manuella - OMgosh, that's absolutely hilarious. She's quite a character and it sounds like she'll be one strong woman when she gets a bit older. She definitely sounds older than 10, that's for sure,lol. Wishing her a very happy double digit birthday.

July 31, 2009 - 9:52 am Megen Lawrence - This is absolutely hysterical hahahahaha

July 31, 2009 - 11:57 am Debbra - That note is absolutely hilarious! Happy Birthday to your baby girl!

August 1, 2009 - 10:27 am meredith - OMG.. I just laughed out LOUD LOVE LOVE LOVE it

August 2, 2009 - 11:22 pm Shannon Kelley - oh, she is a ham! Love it! Love that she has a natural balance in her room:)

August 4, 2009 - 10:38 pm Heather Georger - What a ham!!!! And such a beautiful little girl! Happy Birthday too her!

August 7, 2009 - 12:38 am Schona Kessler - That note is too funny! The years start flying don't they! Happy Bday!

August 8, 2009 - 10:35 pm Amanda - OMG!!! She is too much! What a smart, independant, and beautiful little girl...happy 10th!!!

August 26, 2009 - 8:37 am Mary - "recking rampage" - I love it. Sounds like the normal status at my house. :)
