Meet Tristan | Tampa Portrait Photography

Posted on February 25, 2010

I find photographing kids very similar to photographing dogs…they are adorable, very entertaining, easily distractible, and highly motivated by treats. Not to mention, they can be a lot of fun! Tristan is one very cute three year old with a big personality and smile that is downright contagious. I dare you to take a look at this first image and not smile!

Party of Ten!

Posted on February 24, 2010

I’ve photographed a lot of family portraits over the years, but I’m pretty sure I set a personal record this past weekend with two adults, one (very adorable) three year old, and seven dogs. Did you happen to catch that last part? SEVEN dogs!

Meet the Clark family…and are they not one of the best looking families EVER? Seriously, it’s almost too much cute for just one picture.

I’ll admit that “posed” portraits are not exactly my specialty, but I have to say that I had a lot of fun, and this was definitely of the most entertaining sessions I’ve ever had. I do think that LAUGHTER is the key…I’m so thankful these guys have a great sense of humor!

Of course I’ll be sharing more pictures of all the pups (including Tristan, the adorable two-legger) soon!

My Valentines

Posted on February 14, 2010

My three spotty valentines would like to wish all of our friends a very sweet Valentine’s Day!

Generally I’m not a big fan of using props in my photographs, but I do make an occasional exception when I come across cute items around the holidays. And since my three dogs are all seasoned models, they generally don’t mind too much! Peyton gives his best “sad spotty dog” pose…

As usual, Indy was less than amused, but at least she loves me….I think.

And Pongo wonders whose brilliant idea it was to make candy hearts that *can’t* be eaten!

Valentine’s Day is Sunday!

I have to admit that I’ve never been a big fan of flowers and chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Flowers are pretty for a few days and then they start to wilt…and while chocolates are very yummy, I always feel like I need to spend the next few weeks working off all those calories! I know that it’s the thought that counts, but just as a friendly little reminder, Simply Spotted Photography offers gift certificates for any occasion. Guaranteed to provide memories that will last for a lifetime *and* 100% calorie free, custom portraits are a perfect gift for your pet loving Valentine!
