Cole is ONE!

Yep, it's been over a year now since Andi Diamond Photography was born- for one thing...several of my maternity sessions are coming in for their one year baby portraits! It is such a great experience for me to see these families grow. You may remember Cole as the kiddo who coined "Suspended Baby" (*first image), and started the craze in Tampa (OK, so maybe not a craze...but it is pretty popular now! ha!) Well, he is one now and adorable (as if there was ever any doubt??!!) His eyes, well let's just say there is a joke that his mom and dad are brother and sister (of course they are not- but his eyes are this amazing green, super unique, and both his mommy and daddy have the exact same color!!) So the first pic is super cool because Doug got the tattoo after Cole was born to represent his son. It has alot of symbolism in it (on a side note, Pete and I were watching Miami Ink tonight and this would have made a great story for the show!!) And those squishy, little baby buns! Love them! Thanks so much for putting your trust in my work, Doug and Brit. (and I hope Cole was not on too much of a sugar high after that birthday cake-ha!) That future Gator is a super stud!

Meet Wilson!

This adorable little guy in the youngest of 5! Yep- 5! And he is just as cute as he can be! His Mom found out about me at Yogani, where I teach infant massage. I guess if you are the baby in a family of 5, you just have to be laid back and just go with the flow, right? Well, he is for sure! And Mom is just as cool, calm, and collected (and even gave me some great advice on Ethan's non- sleep issues at night...more about that another time! ha!) Turns out, she is Gator (I knew I liked her!!), and we were in the same sorority (Zeta Tau Alpha), just a few years apart. Small world! Enjoy your sneak peek, Dana. Great meeting you!

Are you ready for some GATOR FOOTBALL??!!

It's almost that time of year again...when Ben Hill Griffin Stadium fills will crazed Gator fans and we all scream with excitement- Orange and Blue! Orange and Blue! Pete got an email today with some images from the new section in the stadium- and it got us all pumped up! I can't wait for college football- and the University of Florida Gators (oh- and the lady Gators gymnastics team rocks, too!)

Meet the F. Family!

I really enjoy family sessions. I love watching the interaction between all of the family members and seeing the little personalities of the kids! The F. family was super fun, laid back, and loved to laugh and joke around- does it get any better than that?! Enjoy your sneak peak! And keep smiling!

Trimble is ONE!

What a FUN session! Trimble is ONE! I cannot believe it! This family holds a very special place in my heart- they have been with me since the beginning of Andi Diamond Photography! I photographed his mommy and daddy when he was a lump in her belly, I was honored to photograph his birth, then came newborn, 6 months, and now 1 year! He is so cute I can't stand it! I think he might have liked his cake a bit...what do you think?


So after cake and pictures, what with all that sticky mess.....Melissa and Kenzie decided to go for a dip- yep- fully clothed- right off the dock! Why not, right? It was hilarious! You see Robbie and Trimble looking at them in the corner? I bet they were thinking, "Those two are nuts!!"
Of course, we had to get Daddy and Trimble in on the action as well! Check out those faces! Thanks for all the support and for believing in me H. Family! I appreciate it more than you know! And happy birthday Trimble! :)A

Baby Jacob Is Here!

I love meeting the newborn babies of my maternity clients! And this little cutie is no exception! Minus the occasional "shower" that he gave his mommy, Jacob was a perfect gentleman! ha! I have to give big "thank you" out to my hubby- he found that super cool trunk for me at an estate sale- Love it! Congrats Beth and EJ! Here's to some restful nights! :)

Love is in the Air!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kelly and Eric H! This amazing couple got married on Saturday at the St. Pete Yacht Club. It was so beautiful and I had a blast photographing it! One of my best friend's (Kelly Hite-who is also a photographer) in Jacksonville, flew in to second shoot this wedding with me. Check out her site (www.khitephotography.com). We loved it! Our brains work alot alike so that made things easy- and fun!
Check out that cool car! Kelly and Eric's neighbor let them borrow it. You should see the images I captured of Eric trying to get it started after it stalled! ha!


I feel especially vested in this wedding because my hubby and I had a little something to do with it! We set them up! I do love playing match-maker...even more so when it ends in marriage! Yeah! I love the graffiti (no I am not saying it is ok to vandalize, but it does make a great artistic contrast with a bride in her wedding gown!)
Kelly's girls are adorable! Jessie was so happy for her mom- and she adores her new step dad!
I love hands. They tell such a story. Can't you just feel the emotion here??!!
And just over the hands, we catch a glimpse of Juliana! I have never seen a little girl sob the way she did with happiness over her mom and Eric's love! It was heart melting!
Don't worry, Eric- no one noticed that little flub on your vows. Counsel me, counsel you, go to me for counsel- whatever....we all know what you were trying to say! ha!
Thanks so much for letting me share in your special day, Kelly and Eric. All my best in love, life, and health to you both!
