Downtown Tampa Engagement Session | Haley y Heyden

September 29, 2011

It really makes me feel cool to have clients that are *this* awesome.

Haley and Heyden are amazing. They went to University of Tampa, my alma mater. Both Haley and I chose the school “because it’s so pretty.” Great reason to attend a super expensive privat school for undergrad, right? Heyden studied there because he was on full scholarship to play soccer.

I didn’t meet Haley until I came back from Chile for my very last two semesters at UT before graduation. We were in Spanish class. Our love of the language and latino men bonded us instantly. She’s ridiculous. She’s a triple threat — beautiful, kind and intelligent. Oh, and she smells good. I guess that would make her a quadruple threat.

Haley totally tries to play it off like she’s not *that* smart, but she’s in law school, kicking ass, getting top grades in all her classes. Not only that, but it takes talking to her for all of two seconds to realize how passionate she is about her work. When she graduates she’ll be an immigration lawyer, helping to keep families together, keep individuals who should be here legally, who have made a life for themselves, who pay taxes, whose children are U.S. citizens — she’ll be keeping them from slipping through the cracks. I’m absolutely in awe of her, what she does, and how much heart and soul she puts into her work.

And Heyden is a police officer. Everybody say thank you to him for helping keep us all safe. To me, being a police officer seems like a really scary job, but he LOVES it. He’s like a kid in a candy store going to work, even though it’s a demanding, sacrificial job. Heyden says that his favorite thing is that no two days are the same and every shift brings new challenges.

I’m so proud to be friends with, and to photograph such incredible people. I absolutely love them. And I absolutely loved having them in front of my camera.

 

Zoey was basically the star of the show.

 

See those clouds in the background? Yeah, they caused us some trouble! This session got cut reaaaaally short by a torrential downpour that didn’t stop until it was dark out. But I have to admit, they make a great backdrop for a photo.

 

Downtown Tampa has a new children’s museum (I think) that has a town of cool places to shoot!

 

Haley is so freaking stunning! Told you, cuadruple threat.

 

I freaking ADORE these next two shots!

 

They are so adorable.

 

 

 

Had to grab a shot or two with the moto, duh. 
While it poured rain outside, we finished up with a few shots inside Haley and Heyden’s gorgeous apartment.

 

Yo I’m bored with this photo shoot thing.

 

Think I’ll take a nap :)

 

Looooooving this black and white drama big time.

You’ve got Mail | Part III

September 27, 2011

Vote for your favorite pictures and I will make them into postcards and mail them to anybody who wants one. You can vote for as many photos as you want.

First round here.

Second round here.

All three rounds of voting will stay open until next week when I’ll announce which photos won and have anybody who wants a postcard leave a comment.

Forgive the short post. I’m dead today. Four days in a row with 6 or less hours of sleep is tough on a 9+ hours a night kind of girl :)

For now, enjoy these old photos, vote, and I’ll be back with more pretty engagement photos from downtown Tampa soon!

ETA: Oops, so tired I forgot to number the photos and make the poll. Doing that right now.
ETA AGAIN: Dear lord, how many ETA’s do I need? There are 27 photos in this post and 30 options for voting in the poll. I’m too lazy to re-do the the poll so please ignore 28-30.

Downtown Tampa Engagement Session | Haley y Heyden

September 26, 2011

 

Shot an amazing session today. So much so, that I had to get at least a couple pics up on the blog ASAP.

And believe it or not, I’m posting FROM Haley and Heyden’s house. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever blogged a couple’s photos from their actual place of residence.

To be continued…with more awesome shots from this session tomorrow…and more e-sessioning with Haley and Heyden in December since we got rained out today!
