I'm Retired

Not me - LOL, I'm not THAT old... my blog. Yes, this blog is now retired, as I've outgrown it and moved on to one geared specifically toward professional photographers. Though I love my blogger blog, the new one allows for much larger photos, as well as some other features that are useful for photogs. So, if you have this blog saved as a favorite (and who wouldn't? j/k) remember to update the address. My new blog can be found here:

Pneumonia Strikes the Harrison Household

Well, technically it didn't strike the entire household, just one of us. But his suffering was enough :-( On Saturday night we spent 4 hours in an urgent care pediatric clinic because Ryan's fever spiked to 105. Yes, 105. After much bloodwork, an IV of antibiotics, and no answers, we went home. Sunday morning he was clearly still very sick, and back to the doc we went. This time (different doctor) they realized he had pneumonia. So he got to lay in Mommy's bed and watch TV, which of course wasn't as cool as watching TV in the living room, because Mommy's TV doesn't have 32 episodes of Dora The Explorer tevo'd (is that a word?).

So... these pics were taken right after Sunday's doctor visit. He was so lethargic and just laid there looking like he was going to pass out any second, yet when he saw the camera, he still managed to cheese it up. Totally made me laugh, so I thought I'd share. Don't mind the horrible pics, all the lights were off in the room.

Elisa & Matt 02.07.09 | Tampa Wedding Photographer

Elisa, Matt and their families made the trip to Florida from Kansas City, so they could have a beautiful beach wedding on Honeymoon Island. The wedding was small and intimate, with only family and close friends in attendance. Afterwards, they headed to a restaurant in Dunedin to enjoy each other's company.

Happy Valentine's Day

Twins! | Tampa Newborn Photographer

These little cuties were eight days old during their photos, and they were such dolls. They slept very well for us, so we were able to get a good variety of poses. I love incorporating mom and dad in newborn photos, and I had a blast with these!

Mom, Dad, and Grandma... enjoy your sneak peek!

Patti & Matt 01.31.09 | Tampa Wedding Photographer

My wonderful, fantastic and beautiful friend Patti tied the knot with her honey, Matt, on Saturday. They had a small family-only ceremony at Phillippe Park, and everyone went out to dinner to celebrate afterwards.

If anyone looks C-O-L-D in these photos, it's because they were! It was quite a chilly evening, but all went well and the ceremony was beautiful.
