Aiden is here!!! Tampa baby portrait photographer

We just had another opportunity to capture some amazing images of a newborn baby for a mom that we had also done a maternity session for. What is so wonderful about these sessions is that we get to know the mom very well prior to and after the baby is born. We get to share in the excitement and anticipation prior to the baby being born and then all of the beauty and awe of seeing that little angel after they are born. As I photograph the baby, I am often thinking to myself what an amazing miracle this little baby is and how lucky I am to share in this experience with all of these special moms! I am honored to be able to capture such precious memories for them and which will become a cherished family heirloom for generations to come.

Photographing Kristen and her baby has been a joy. Kristen is such a nice person and just has a natural beauty and presence in front of the camera. She is very relaxed and easy to work with. Originally when we did her maternity session and suggested mixing outdoor locations and the studio shoot, she just went with it! This time was no different. She loved all of the ideas we had for photographing little Aiden. We got some great images of him in many cute poses, props and outfits. We also got some very beautiful images of mom and son that are just so beautiful to look at. You can just see how much she loves Aiden and how precious he is to her. As experienced Tampa newborn photographers, we love when we can connect with our subjects and follow their precious journey through their pregnancy and then through motherhood and the many stages that their newborn child will go through. We are already looking forward to seeing little Aiden again in a few months!

Sandpearl Resort wedding – Clearwater Beach wedding photographer

We were recently surfing the internet, revisiting some of the websites for past venues that we have photographed at. When we stopped to check out the Sandpearl Resort website, we noticed that they had recently done a whole new redesign of their site. We really liked the new layout and started checking out a lot of the new pages within the site. When we reached the wedding pages, we were VERY HAPPY to see that they selected two of our images from a wedding we photographed there on April 9, 2010. The Sandpearl Resort provided a beautiful backdrop to this fairy tale wedding.

As an experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love photographing at the many beautiful venues located throughout the Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota area. It is such an honor, when one of these great venues selects our images to show off the beauty of their site. We want to thank everyone at the Sandpearl Resort for selecting our images and we look forward to photographing many more weddings at your beautiful hotel in the near future. If anyone is looking to get married on the beach and at a world class hotel resort, we highly recommend the Sandpearl Resort. The hotel is incredibly beautiful and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. They will do whatever they can to make your experience there, the very best it can be!

Below are the images that the Sandpearl Resort selected to use on their website:

There were many more beautiful images from that wedding. To see how beautiful the wedding and the Sandpearl Resort are, just check out the video below:

David & Danielle – 1 year anniversary – Tampa wedding photographers

We just photographed an amazing one year anniversary photo session for Danielle and David. We cannot not believe that one year has already passed since their beautiful wedding at the University of South Florida last March. It feels like only yesterday when we were photographing them on that chilly March day. What a difference one year makes. Last year, the temperatures were in the 40’s but this year it was nice and warm.
During our planning discussions with Danielle, she mentioned that she wanted to capture some beautiful images of her and David. Unfortunately, on the day of her wedding it was just too cold and after braving the cold for the outdoor ceremony, everyone was too cold to capture all of the great picture ideas that we had planned. A few minutes after the ceremony, everyone jumped on the hotel buses and headed back to the warm reception hall.

We really wanted to capture some great images for Danielle and David, so we pre-scouted several great locations in downtown Tampa prior to the scheduled photo session. We had some great ideas drawn up and it all was scheduled to start at the new Curtis Hixon waterfront park, located next to the new Glazer Children’s Museum. One of the things that you come to learn as an experienced Tampa wedding photographer, is that no matter how carefully you plan, there will always be unforeseen issues to overcome. But we are always prepared for anything! As we were nearing downtown Tampa, we got a call from Danielle informing us that there was an art show at the park. We figured that it would be a few tents spread out across the park, and that we could work around it. What we didn’t immediately figure out until we arrived, is that it was the weeked for the Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. The Gasparilla art festival is huge!! Cars lined up for blocks to get into the parking garages and the park was completely covered in both tents and people! But because we had already scouted many locations, we were totally prepared to start photographing in some other beautiful locations. Yes, there were still lots of people but we had some amazing backdrops to work with and captured some really beautiful images. We also had the opportunity to capture some great images at the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church. After spending a few hours in downtown Tampa, we decided to drive across the bay to the beach, to capture some of the beach pictures that Danielle wanted at sunset. We bought a beautiful red balloon to symbolize their first year of marriage. As always, we had a blast with Danielle and David. Two of the most down to earth and fun people you could meet. We have enjoyed many opportunities to work with them in the past. We photographed their engagement session, their wedding and now their one year anniversary session. We love working with them and hope to capture many more of their future special moments for them.

Below are just a few of our favorite images from this session.

Apollo is back! – Tampa family portrait photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

The boys are back! Jasmine brought little Apollo in for another one of his portrait sessions. Ever since she had her first child, Jasmine has wanted to capture the various stages of their childhood. As such, she has always signed up for the newborn session followed by a session every three months (3 months, 9 months and 1 year). It is amazing how much a baby grows in that first year and we are so happy that we have witnessed as each one of her boys has grown up in front of our cameras and lenses. Apollo is the fourth of her boys that we have photographed. By now they are all little pros in front of the camera. They are such a loving family and I think that it really shows when you see images with all of the brothers together!

Since the last time that Jasmine stopped by, we bought some new backdrops and props and we are thrilled with how these latest images turned out. But with little models as cute as her boys, we just knew that the photos were going to turn out amazing!!

Upcoming venue scouting trip – Hindu Temple of Florida – Tampa wedding photographer

Couples always compliment us on how creative our images are and how we can possibly always have such beautiful locations to photograph. They want to know what is our secret for consistently having fresh new ideas and great backgrounds for our images. Although a lot goes into creating great images, one of the key ingredients is: lots of preparation and scouting of locations. Sure, you could show up to a location an hour early but we prefer to scout locations months in advance and often more than once. Why? Because we feel that by visiting a location with plenty of time to walk around and find unique and beautiful backgrounds is worth it. We take test pictures and take notes about which location would work best for just the bride and groom or which spot is best suited for the larger group pictures. By scouting the location prior to the event, we already have some great ideas to share with the happy couple. The day of the wedding can be very fast paced and having already thought out where to take those special images is priceless and makes the photography flow a lot smoother. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we have already photographed many of the most popular wedding venues in Central Florida. But for those times when we will be photographing a venue for the first time, we definitely schedule time to scout that venue prior to the wedding day.

Below are images from one of those venues. In November, we will be photographing at the beautiful Hindu Temple of Florida,which is located in Tampa. Although the wedding there won’t be until November, we scheduled some time recently to scout this location. We were totally blown away by how beautiful this temple is. As we always do when we scout a location, we took many “test” shots to get ideas of what will be the best angles to photograph from and which locations will make for the best backdrop for some gorgeous and dramatic images. We loved these test shots so much that we have decided to publish them for everyone to enjoy.

Tampa family portrait photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

As a photographer, it is always good to constantly practice our craft and fine tune our skills. We are lucky that we have a beautiful model living with us. Yes, she is only five, but she is readily available, if not always thrilled to model for us. But promises of McDonalds or a new toy will often turn a reluctant model into a happy and willing subject!! This recent photo session had the added benefit of us trying out our newest lens. We like to buy new equipment, when we feel it will improve our pictures. We recently purchased a new Canon lens. It is the wonderful Canon 100mm f 2.8 macro lens. It is an incredibly sharp lens that we are now using to augment our portrait and wedding photography. Another benefit, that you will see in our upcoming weddings, is that this is a true macro lens. As such, we will be able to photograph small object, wedding rings in particular, with amazing detail and clarity. As a Tampa wedding photographer, we are super excited by being able to add this new tool to the other lenses we already have at our disposal. We have already been testing those macro capabilities with flowers, small rings, coins and other small objects. It is amazing how much detail this lens captures and you won’t ever look at small things in the same way again after shooting in macro mode!

The images below showcase some of our recent work with our new lens. Again, we love the sharpness of the images that this lens produces. In the coming weeks we will try to publish some macro images that will showcase the amazing ability of this lens to capture the smallest details of even the smallest objects. As a Tampa family portrait photographer, we are always pushing ourselves to always deliver new and creative images, using the latest tools and technology at our disposal. We hope that you enjoy the images that we post and always look forward to showing off our latest image creations!

Maternity portrait session – Tampa maternity photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

This has been a busy month for maternity portrait sessions. We just did another lovely maternity portrait session with Mindy. We were very excited to photograph this session and spent many days preparing and dreaming up some great ideas, both indoors and outdoors. Unfortunately it rained and was very cold the day of the session, so we had to photograph entirely indoors. Luckily, we still had a lot of great ideas and Mindy was very open to try all of the posing suggestions. We spent a few hours doing a lot of different poses and talking about a variety of different things. Time just seems to fly when we photograph our clients.

We were able to talk a lot about her pregnancy and booked a baby session once her little angel is born. She doesn’t want to know if it is a boy or a girl until the day of the birth. This is so exciting, as we are really looking forward to finding out if we will be photographing a little boy or a little girl. As a Tampa maternity portrait photographer, it is so exciting to capture these beautiful mothers as they prepare for their newborns, and later to photograph those little ones and watch them grow up. We wish her a safe pregancy and look forward to seeing her and her little angel very soon. In the meantime, we have captured many beautiful images from her pregnancy that she will be able to treasure forever and pass on to her little one later on.

Maternity portrait session – Tampa maternity photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

This past Sunday we photographed a wonderful maternity session. Prior to the session, we scouted several locations and came up with a lot of great ideas. We really wanted some beautiful outdoor images, along with some studio images. Luckily the weather on Sunday was very nice. Not too cold or too hot, just about perfect. We first headed out to a nearby lake and field to take some pictures with her in the first outfit. These pictures turned out great, especially the ones with the black outfit flowing beautifully in the afternoon breeze. As a Tampa maternity portrait photographer, we couldn’t have asked for a better model. Kristen was so easy to work with, and although she swore she has never modeled before, she was incredibly at ease in front of the camera and was always happy to try out all of our suggested poses and ideas.

After some time at the first location, we headed out to the second location where we trekked into a wooded area that had a nice open area, completely surround by trees. The afternoon sun shone through the trees and created some magical images. Some of our favorite images were taken during this part of the session.

After finishing the outdoor shots, we headed back to the studio. We picked up some snacks and prior to taking more pictures, just sat around eating and getting to know Kristen better. Soon afterwards, we started taking pictures in our studio. We captured a lot of great images that afternoon, too many to add to this posting. Below are just a few of our favorite images. We wish Kristen a continued safe pregnancy and look forward to seeing her beautiful little angel, after he is born.

Wedding video – A La Carte Event Pavilion – Tampa wedding photographer

This is a wedding we recently photographed at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion located in Tampa, FL. Having already photographed their engagement session a few months back, we had already established a great relationship with Ermy and Von. We were looking forward to their wedding, as we knew how much fun they both were and knew that their wedding would be a pleasure to photograph.

We arrived at the venue early (as we always like to do) and started getting photos of all of the arrangements and little details throughout the venue. Everything was set up beautifully and looked very elegant. This venue has so many great and unique photo opportunities, that we just couldn’t wait for the happy couple to arrive. Once they arrived, we started photographing as the bride and groom started getting ready for the ceremony. As you will see, everything turned out perfectly and the day went off without any issues. This is a tribute to the amazing staff at the A La Carte Event Pavilion. We have photographed at a lot of venues, but everybody from this venue was top notch and incredibly helpful and friendly. In particular, we have to shine the spotlight on Lindsay Jimison (the wedding & events planner) who was constantly checking to make sure that everything was perfect for the bride and groom and still found time to check with us to see if there was anything that we needed to make our jobs easier. There were times where we thought that maybe she had a twin, because it seemed like she was in so many places at the same time!

After the ceremony, we took the bride and groom to several beautiful locations within the venue and later we went to take some pictures with the great fountain and garden area located at the front of the venue. As a Tampa wedding photographer, you really can’t ask for more: a great looking couple, an amazing venue, and a gorgeous fall day! Add everything up and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding.

Wedding video – Plantation Golf Resort & Spa – Crystal River wedding photographer

Video slideshow of our recent wedding at the gorgeous Plantation Golf Resort & Spa located in Crystal River, Florida. We spent the entire day with the bride and groom, and managed to capture how much fun they had during the entire day. Sean woke up early to go golfing with his buddies and Annette spent the morning at the Southern Hills spa getting pampered with her daughters.

Although cold, everyone had a blast and the day was a truly magical experience!
