Jr's First Birthday | Gulfport Recreation Center

I met Suzy and Anthony a while ago to photograph Daniel Jr's baptism. He is a very beautiful boy who has gone through so much in his first year. I was so delighted to be asked to photograph his first birthday. He was very tired and slept through most of his party. He loved his presents and not so much his cake. It was a fun party surrounded by family and friends.

Shannon & Jon are Engaged!

Shannon and Jon decided to have their engagement party at his parents home in North Tampa and also decided that with the location, to go ahead and do the engagement pictures also. I absolutely loved the located. It was a ranch in his parent's backyard. We had so much scenery to work with and 2 horses following us around. Not to mention I got to walk around in mud boots. It was definitely a real ranch experience!

Aimee's Bridal Shower

I recently went to one of my best friend's bridal shower and took a few photographs while I was there. I tried not to be working. Just wanted to share a few pictures. I loved the Beauty and The Beast theme and the ideas the mother of the bride & mother of the groom came up with :) Aimee's wedding will be the first wedding I am actually a part of. I was originally planned to the be the photographer and then we became such good friends that I became a bridesmaid :) Can't wait to be standing by her side in November!

Michael's Monster Bash

Michael's 1st birthday was based off of Monster's Inc. The cake was nothing short of amazing. With matching cupcakes and a matching smash cake for Michael. He was surrounded by close friends and family while mom opened his presents for him. His awesome ATV seemed to catch his eye though as he was very happy to ride it. Happy Birthday Michael!

Julian's 6th Birthday Balloon Release

If you follow me on facebook, you may have seen over the last 9 months, some posts about a beautiful boy named Julian. He was taken too early from his family on September 8, 2012. May 29, 2013 would have been his 6th birthday. His family and close friends decided to honor him with a balloon release. Julian's story has spread all over the world and many families who don't even know Julian also did a balloon release for his birthday. A facebook group called Acts of Kindness for Julian is a beautiful group of over 1000 members to help keep Julian's memory alive. https://www.facebook.com/groups/298524660277956?ref=bookmark

Also, his story can be read online at http://www.juliangerardrosario-valentin.com/

At the very bottom of this post, I have also shared my fiance's video of the balloon release.
