Baby Blake Marie is here! And she is soooooo cute!
After taking a few months off for my own newborn baby boy, I was more than happy to get back into the groove by photographing Lori and Bobby‘s new baby girl.
Those lips!!!
Look how tiny she is!! This just makes my heart melt :)
See the rest!! Read the rest of this entry »
Now that I am 8 months pregnant photographing weddings is quite different for me! Thankfully we were able to have my associates, Randy and Caroline, photograph this wedding as the lead and photojournalist while I was able to be there as a third photographer for their pre wedding formals.
Elizabeth and her girls got ready at the Vinoy in St. Petersburg, so we were able to get some candids in her hotel room then head down to the tea garden for some formals.
One of my best friends is about to have a baby. So when she asked me to photograph her and her husband celebrating her near full term belly, I couldn’t pass it up! 
With me being pregnant myself, only a few months behind her, it was crazy to see how much my belly has yet to grow!
After we spent some time indoors, her husband joined in with some fun outdoor portraits.
This is one beautiful momma to be :)
Congrats to you guys and to your baby! He is going to be surrounded my so much love :)
Tis the season for weddings!
Lori was so sweet and patient. This was taken while her dress was being laced up.
I love this of them on the beach!
The trolley took the guests and bridal party from the beach to their reception hall. What a nice touch!
This is their engagement book I created from their portrait session. They set it out for their guests to sign at the reception.
As always, I had so much fun with Becky and Tony. This year Tony took us to a secluded beach in Tampa that had this unique rustic look to it.
They brought some wine and toasted to another great year of marriage. (4 years!)
The sun set faster than we expected!
They had so much fun together! Becky was all giggles and Tony was full of jokes and silly faces. Thanks for the fun you guys, and thanks for dinner :)
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, I am sharing with you the cards that my husband, Mike Maihack, and I made for each other.
He drew, colored, and printed this card for me featuring our two kitties, Ash and Misty. It is so cute and he totally picked up their personalities. The inside says “we loves u.”
Scrapbooking is a fun hobby of mine. I love to scrap whenever I can get a chance. Of course, Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to scrap a card for Mike. The inside of the card says “I wake up happy.”
This detail of the “every day” embellishment shows that I hand wrote it, and distressed the edges myself. I even taped the paper onto chip board and cut it out myself. Also, you can see how I drew in the stitch marks around the edge of the pink paper.
I also cut out the hearts from chip board as well, using different paper patterns.
I love scrappin’! It’s a fun way for me to keepsake our photos and memories.
So the time has come to design some new postcards! When I first start on creating any design, I always rely on the good ‘ol internets to find samples of the type of design I am going for. Admittedly, it was hard to find nice samples to go off of, but I like to see samples to come up with ideas for my own. Now that I have created my own promo pieces, I thought I could post them to hopefully help out any other photographers who need some ideas for designing their postcards or ads. The model postcard is to promote myself with models and modeling agencies. I love working with models, they are so easy to photograph for some reason. The other postcard is to promote my portrait side of my work. I plan on passing out around 500 of these at an expo I will be attending at the end of the month. Enjoy!
I love the background I created for this one. Be prepared to see more of that!
