Brandi & Ryan are Married!

RBF Photography — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:37:33 +0000

We just want to congratulate two dear friends of ours, and thank them for allowing us the opportunity to capture on of the happiest days of their lives.

The ceremony took place at their church in Safety Harbor. Although it was dreary and rainy outside, you would never be able to tell by the excitement and joy going on inside the church walls. Brandi and her bridesmaids giddily got ready in the back, while Ryan along with his friends and family relaxed in the lobby. A brief, but beautiful ceremony surrounded by their friends and family was a perfect way to start their new lives together.

After a quick trip to a nearby park, they headed off to their reception on Davis Island, where they ate cake, enjoyed a delicious meal, had a few drinks and danced the night away.

Kaley Turned 1!

You may remember about 1 year ago, we photographed a beautiful little girl named Kaley. Well, she is now 1 – I know – time flies! We did some family photos, birthday photos and smash cake photos…it was a busy day for this little girl

Heather + Tim {Trash the Dress}

RBF Photography — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:26:50 +0000

I know that most of you have probably already seen our photos of Heather and Tim’s trash the dress session, but here it is on the blog too. This session turned out to be so much more than I could have imagined. We got to our location and it was starting to sprinkle – go figure, rain in Florida! So after arriving, we decide to try to wait it out a bit before shooting. No such luck…still raining. So, what do my clients do? Suggest we start shooting in the rain – I LOVE IT! I put the camera in it’s rain poncho, and we headed out. We got some amazing shots, and I hope to continue to do some amazing things with these two! Oh, and a special thanks to Shannon for letting us use her property and to my father-in-law for allowing us to photograph some with his gorgeous horses!

Alisha + Scott are Married!

So, I know this has taken me awhile, but I am finally blogging Alisha and Scott’s wedding. It was a gorgeous, intimate ceremony aboard the Yacht StarShip in Channelside. These two were amazing and I can’t wait to work with them again soon!

I haven’t entered into an I Heart Faces contest in awhile, but I think this one is perfect for this week. This is my daughter’s first time out at the ranch with the horses…I don’t know who had more fun, her or the horses!

Sophia Marie {Tampa Newborn & Family Photographer}

RBF Photography — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 19:07:38 +0000

I have known Nicole for right around 6 years, and I remember when she started dating her husband Jose. They are such a great couple – laid back, fun, and very much in love with each other, not to mention, they will be AMAZING parents. About a year ago, they announced that they were expecting their first child, a daughter, named Sophia Marie {seriously, beautiful name!}. I was super excited and very honored that they asked me to do Sophia’s newborn shoot. Normally, most parents would request to have the session indoors, however these two wanted to have Sophia’s shoot outside {told you, laid back!}. We decided on a location, and this being Florida, it, of course, was scheduled to rain all weekend! Luckily, the rain stopped and the sun was shining for about 3 hours for us to capture some really great photos. To top it all off, Sophia was such a great sport….she let us poke, and prod her in addition to putting her in a planter and a tea cup. She is absolutely adorable and so well behaved. Here are just a few shots from their session.

I Heart Faces {A Touch of Whimsy}

RBF Photography — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:54:46 +0000

This weeks challenge for I Heart Faces is a touch of whimsy. After about 1.5 seconds of contemplation, I knew exactly which photo I would enter.

This is a photo of Sophia. She is 15 days old her and her mom and dad – who are good friends of mine – wanted to have her session outdoors. I absolutely love outdoor sessions because I think it adds a bit of an organic feel to the photos and I think this is especially true with newborns. Here is little Sophia in the beautiful glow of the Florida sun dressed to the nines with her pearls and angel wings. Enjoy!
