Nearing the end of June.

Unfortunately, things have been slow for me the past two weeks. You'd think that at (almost) 8 months pregnant I'd enjoy the lull, but I've been going crazy! I'm used to a busy schedule and I LOVE taking photos so when I don't have sessions on the books, I tend to get a little sad. The good news is in July I have 4 sessions in three weeks and they are all very different. I've been doing some brainstorming for them and have found some really great blogs out there.


One session I have that's coming up is an engagement/wedding session. The couple is getting married in August and want some professional pictures taken before the wedding. We're going to take them in the Bromeliad garden in St. Pete and I'm SUPER excited about it. I haven't done a lot of couples lately and there are several portraits that I can't wait to try. It's also a new location for me which is always exciting.


Another session I have is of one of my longest and dearest friends, her husband & her one year old girl - who is RIDICULOUSLY adorable. I've learned that you can't really plan too much out with children but I'm praying we catch her in a great mood and have some good weather. That's all you can really ask for!


I'm also doing a maternity session soon. I found this blog and I'm loving these inside shots...

I'm not really loving the see-through crocheted dress that the woman is wearing, but the angles, lighting and poses are great. Now I just need to come up with a good location to shoot at and I'll be set. 


One thing about being a portrait photographer is you kinda feel left out of the loop. There are SO many blogs and magazines on wedding photography... which is great, but I don't do weddings so there's only so much inspiration I can gather from them. 


Although I have to say I'm absolutely in love with this blog: http://www.100layercake.com/blog/


These are pretty inspiring as well, but more from the graphic design side:
