Stop, Live, Laugh & Be Still (Tampa Photographer)

Tampa Photographer.

I can’t believe that summer is almost here! Where is the time going? It seems like just yesterday we (hubby & I) were having babies & starting our lives, and now our babies are no longer babies, and we have been in this beautiful life as a family for quite some time.

I remember as a child always wishing that time would go quickly.  I couldn’t wait to be ten but ten seemed sooooo far away when I was nine.  Time was slow, and nights were so long.  Now, my own children tell me that time is flying! I don’t ever remember saying that as a child! With this life of technology & hectic schedules, it’s easy to see why time is passing so quickly.  I personally have forgotten to slow down & just breath.  My kids are always off to the next stop even before the current ride has ended.

My goal for this summer is to STOP and smell the roses.  LIVE in the moments. LAUGH out loud at my children’s silly games and just BE STILL.

Love That Baby Bump (Tampa Florida)

Love That Baby Bump (Tampa Florida)

What a blissful time when one is expecting!  I know that it has it’s up’s & down’s (swollen feet) but carrying a child is such a beautiful gift.  To photograph a mom to be or a mom to be for the 4th time (like me) is magical.  I can feel the love and literally see the glow on her face.  Dad is such a big part of most of my maternity session because the connection that shows up is electrifying, sweet & sincere.  I always recommend that when booking a maternity session, that it be in the end of the 2nd trimester, or the beginning of the third.  This is the time where you are still feeling comfortable & your belly is high and round.

Maternity Tips:

  • Take photos each month
  • Let your significant other talk to that belly
  • Get lots of sleep
  • Enjoy every moment

Not Just Newborns (Tampa Photographer)

Not Just Newborns (Tampa Photographer)

I love love love photographing newborns, but lately I have been able to photograph older babies and I’m loving it! There is so much expression in their eyes, and you can see that they are figuring out this great big world. Time seems to be flying right past me & it’s bittersweet to see the babies because they remind me so much of my children when they were younger. It warms my heart to be able to capture moments that go so quickly & I know that in years to come they will bring happiness to these families.

I photographed four 3 month olds recently & each one of them were so sweet and happy! I will never give up photographing newborns, but when I book a toddler I get a little giddy!

The Art (Tampa Bay & Westchase)

Every time I photograph client I fall in love more and more with my craft!  My mind goes into overdrive and the ideas come pouring out of my brain & soul.  It makes me happy to see happy parents once I show them their images, because I know that they feel the love as much as I do.

Each client I photograph is a new piece of canvas,  and to me the art is in their eyes.  I truly don’t have to do much but just capture their essence, and the rest falls into place.  I am by no means an artist nor do I pretend to be one, but I do try to bring out my artistic passion and drive.  It’s not hard to get beautiful images when photographing this sweet girl!

I Love This!

A few years ago I had no clue that today I would be posting a blog about photography. I’ve always loved it & have always had a camera in my hand, but to say that I would be doing it as an art & running it as a business…NO WAY!

It has been a few years now of learning, growing, failing and succeeding & to me it’s been a great journey that I don’t want to end anytime soon.

If you have a passion, go for it! It doesn’t mean you have to change your whole life structure to do what you love. Takes small steps & even if it’s just for fun surround yourself with what brings you passion & ignites your fire.

Instagram

Instagram is another extension of my photographic journal, and a more casual approach to Rosa Blanca. I love Instagram because I can record sessions & my personal life with my phone instantly. I think it’s a great for my clients & future clients to get to know me a little better & truly see what happens behind the scene. I will share tips, announce giveaways & just post images that truly represent me & my love for Rosa Blanca Photography!
