A baby girl… One of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know,
and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today.

I was very excited when I heard the news that my good friends, Wendy & Lyle were having another baby girl, and even more excited when they asked me to take her newborn pictures! I didn’t get to schedule my normal newborn session within the first 10 days because the flu made it’s way around my house- could not chance bringing any crud to pass along to them! By the time I got out to their beautiful home in Thonotosassa, Elissa was a month old! Much more challenging for newborn photos, but we made it work! As is with most 2 year olds, big sister Ariana did so good to begin with, but didn’t last very long, so we had to get what we could with her quickly! After that, we focused on little Elli and she ended up falling asleep for me for a few images! Even got to play with my new macro lens to get some super duper close ups of her newbie goodness!
Thank you, Wendy & Lyle for letting me meet and snuggle your beautiful new baby girl and trusting me with her first pictures!
*leave Wendy, Lyle and their girls some love! If they get 20 comments, they get a $30 credit!!!

GigiDon’t know how I missed these in March. What delightful pics. You’ve captured the essence of each one of my favorite Tampa family, especially Elli sleeping on her side on the pink blanket and of her lying on the white rug, as well as the head shot of Ariana with those huge, shining eyes. The very first pic of my precious son and his 3 gorgeous girls is my all-time favorite!
