Meet Sofia!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself, otherwise you will cry your eyes out, right?! Not every images I take is perfect (shocking, I know!!) But I am confident enough in myself to post my "less than perfect" images so I can entertain and get a good laugh. I still give myself an "A" for effort. So in my mind's eye, image one and two turned out much differently- it really worked. Note to self...next time, try larger towels...or a smaller baby (even though little Miss Sofia is only 4 weeks old- she is a long thing!!) Ha! What a sweet family....Joe and Claudine- congrats to you! You have waited a long time for this wonderful blessing and I could not be happier for you!

Gift Certificates...the perfect gift!

Are you having a hard time deciding what to get that special somone for a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas gift? Want to get your friend a shower gift that she will treasure forever? Andi Diamond Photography has gift certificates that can be used for session fees, custom prints, announcements, jewelry, purses, or boutique items! What a great gift!

Logan is ONE!

Logan turned one- and what a fast year it has been! Logan is my son, Ethan's best friend...and his mom is mine! It is so fun to watch them play and grow together. We had a session with Logan's Pop-pop and Grandma...of course there were lots of tears (good tears!) The second picture is Logan with Vicky's brother's dog "Brownie"- that he has had since he was a baby, and has gone to many surgeries with him. As you can imagine- lots of sentimental value! Here's to a lifetime of friendship! Cheers!

Holiday Card Templates

WOW- I am impressed at how "on the ball" so may of you are when it comes to the holidays (and trust me...I appreciate this quality!). So to make life a little easier for you (and me), I created a gallery of templates for my holiday cards. The cards are 5x7 (some can be printed as 5x5 or 4x8), printed on linen or watercolor cardstock, and include envelopes. The styles range from classic and contemporary to modern, elegant, and flashy! You choose your text, color, and font (and yes....I even have Christmas and winter fonts!). Still need more creativity? I also have a ton of holiday "wallpaper" that I can use to design something even more unique. You have to look at some of my samples to really see how beautiful and rich looking these cards are. I love them! Check out the possibilities at www.andidiamond.com/HolidayCards
But remember to book you holiday sessions ASAP- I am already booked 4-7 weeks out! Happy shopping!

I finally did it!

After a short 6 years, I finally finished my Professional Photography Certificate at the University of South Florida (I won't tell you how long it could have taken me!!) Let's just say the past several years have been busy...finishing my masters degree, getting married, changing jobs to become the Child Life Coordinator at Shriners, having a baby, and changing jobs again to become a mom (oh yeah..and photographer!), and starting my own business! It was a great program and taught me alot, and I am excited to still be learning every day. I have to brag because I am very proud of myself and excited at how much my business has taken off! Thanks to all of my clients for your support!

Noah is here!

So I have to brag....my adorable nephew, Noah, is here...welcomed into the world by my brother, Rick, sister-in-law, Dina, and nephews, Ryan and Dylan. It has been amazing to see Dina's belly grow over the last 40 weeks- and today we finally got to meet Noah. He is perfect- the cutest little nose, sweetest skin, and thick mop of black hair. Delivery was like a day at the spa for Dina (ok, maybe that is a bit of a stretch...but she did great!) The boys were there to welcome their little brother into the world. This child is surrounded by some much love (and our crazy family with all its branches and roots..haha!) I had to take off my "photographer" hat so I could just sit and enjoy the wonder of a new life!

Gab, Nate, and Max to be....

Meet Gabrielle and Nate..and soon... little Max (also my dog's name- ha!!) Gab and Nate's couples shower is coming up, so one of Gab's best friends (also an Andi Diamond Photography client) got her a gift certificate for a session and shower invites! What a great idea! We were laughing so hard in this session that Gab was crying.....and I do not have a make up artist- yet! This is one of my faves!

HOT Maternity!

Hot Momma! Hot Daddy! This baby is going to be a little hottie! Meet Megan and Rick. These two are so in love- and it made shooting them so fun. They are so passionate about each other, and so complimentary of each other. Rick even came to the session with some ideas of his own (last image)- the "Cleopatra" we will call it...I love it! She looked great, he looked great---you both made my job easy! Check back in a month to meet baby Cole.

Look out Gerber!

Meet Darby and her Mom and Dad! This little peanut is a model in the making...she loves the camera (and it loves her right back!) Gerber will be knocking on her door any day now. She was such an easy newborn to shoot because she really seemed the happiest when she was in front of my lens! (No pressure future newborn clients of mine! ha!) Darby's dad is in the Army. The first image is one that I know is very important to him and Nicole- for many reasons. Even Darby's name has military meaning. Thanks for all you do for our country, Scott! Just wait until you see the rest on my site in a few weeks- WOW! (and I am glad you will be able to watch your slideshow when you are over seas!)

Thanks again to the T. Family for the referral. I love that my clients trust in me and my work enough to pass my name on to friends- what a huge compliment! Much appreciated!!
