Tampa Family Photographer | Busy Little Boy

We braved the July heat and set out early in the morning, hoping to escape it - but we didn’t. It was so hot and sticky out, but somehow we managed to get some great images anyway. This little guy was one busy boy.   Adorable, loves Mickey Mouse and made some of...

Tampa Birth Photographer | The birth of Oliver

With permission from Melissa and Andy, I am sharing the birth story of Oliver.  You may remember him from my previous post.  This little guy was welcomed on July 8th, to his adoring parents and big brother.
The boys exchanged gifts on Oliver’s birth day - Oliver “gave” his big brother a Thomas the Train...

July 13, 2009 - 9:30 am Melissa - Oh Katherine, it's soooo beautiful!!!! I bawled through the whole thing! You captured every moment and emotion of that day and have made it even more special than it was! The song was perfect! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this....you will be very successful! I will tell everyone I know about you! Thank you soooo much! What a masterpiece! I can't wait to share it with friends and family! God bless! Melissa

July 16, 2009 - 8:56 pm Tyjuana Hill-Smith - I cry everytime I watch a birth video and this one was no exception. Great job!!!

July 17, 2009 - 10:14 am Stephanie - Beautiful. I cried through the whole thing. It brought back so many memories of my son's birth that I had to call my husband at work to tell him about it, and peek in on my baby while he napped just to be near him. Wonderful job. Melissa was brave to try it (I wouldn't even let my husband take pictures while I was laboring), but she clearly made the right decision. What a lovely way to preserve memories of a life-changing event.
