Milaan Roppa's Six-Month Baby Lifestyle Photography Session, Melbourne, Florida

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with my wonderful clients, Kara and Dominic, to continue through our journey of "Baby's First Year." Together, we've been enjoying capturing each stage of their baby, Milaan's, first year of development. And now that we're halfway through, I can see this little guy's character coming to life. He's such a happy baby, and of course, just like his dentist duo mom and dad, he has a PERFECT smile already (although he doesn't quite have as many teeth - ha!).

Congrats once again, Kara and Dom! What a precious baby boy you have! I can't wait till we finish this very special year of documenting Milaan's tiny little life so far, when we meet in six months to celebrate his one-year birthday! :O)

Hope everyone enjoys the samples and slideshow: Milaan's Six-Month Session

Leah & Erik's Fort Desoto Park, Tampa Bay Destination Wedding

In late May, I had a the privilege of working with Leah and Erik for their amazing destination wedding at Fort Desoto Park at the south end of St. Pete Beach, Florida. This beach has been voted and ranked the most beautiful beach in America by several leading travel magazines, so we were expecting great things. It was a really fun time for these two and their family, even when a massive thunderstorm rolled in and tried to dampen the festivities (fortunately, we had gotten some amazing sunset photos the day before, during their rehearsal).

With our epic sunset rained out, Kara and I agreed to stay late with everyone and head over to the fishing pier, since it is lit all night and opened 24 hours. We all had a blast getting these one-of-a-kind night formals on the pier, and on the beach and rocks below.

Congrats, Leah and Erik! You two are truly amazing. It was our utmost pleasure to have been able to go the distance and think outside the box to make sure your wedding weekend memories were captured and preserved in the most authentic, creative and fun way imaginable. Bless you both in your life's journey as husband and wife!!
