"T' Family - Sawgrass Lake Park

Back in the saddle again!! I wanted to share some photos from my first official shoot back from maternity leave. It felt so good to be back out there again and I got some RRREALLY fun images. I had to save some of the best for mom and dad's gallery....I'm excited for you guys to see them!

I have some more sessions I will be posting in the very near future! I also will be unveiling a brand-new website and blog in the next few weeks. I felt it was time to update things around here!

Till next time!

New year, new baby...FINALLLY a new post!! --- ST. PETERSBURG NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

My poor little neglected blog....it's been a long time. I think she understands, though. It's been pretty busy here in the Wilds household!! Our new little Allison Hope was born February 2nd and has brought us SUCH joy and blessing!!! Daddy calls her his "little bean". I think we forgot how tiny they are. He kept saying, "she's such a tiny little bean!!" All of a sudden, Emma and Josh looked like giants. Actually, I have to admit, Daddy calls her "Allie McBean" as a tribute to one of my favorite shows.....and just because it's kinda funny. We're finally getting a glimpse into her personality now. She's not that typical easy-going third child everyone told us we'd have. She's actually kind of high maintenance. She wans to be held all the time....well, I can't blame her for that one. She prefers to be home and isn't much of a fan of getting in and out of the car too many times in a day. I have to say I'm with her on that one too - sometimes I feel like that's all we do is drag the poor baby here and there all day long....but that's the breaks when you have a big brother and sister with activities and school!! She's very sweet. Her laugh melts me to peices. The little sparkle in her eye has us all wrapped around her tiny little curvy-tipped fingers. We're extremely blessed.

I'm also getting back into the swing of photography and had my first session (after maternity leave) last week. I will post pictures very soon T family! I have some exciting things coming along for Teresa Wilds Photography....new products I will be introducing, new print collections, some to include digital files (I know so many people have been asking!!). Even though the year is over 1/3 of the way over, I'm looking forward to the rest of 2009, meeting new families and preserving your memories for a lifetime!!! Here are a few pics of our new little bundle!! The first couple are from our first couple of weeks home. The one of her smiling is her at 3 months, and the last one is of me and the kids on Mother's Day...Enjoy!

*Edit - OK For some reason, it posted my words last and my pictures in the wrong order...but it's almost 2 am and I'm going to be woken up by a hungry baby in 3 hours...so it is what it is!!! Sorry!

Santa Baby.....

I can't believe it's almost CHRISTMAS again! This year is flying by so quickly and here it is December 1st! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and then spent the weekend putting up the tree and decorating. My little one has been going NUTS this year - I had to have a real heart-to-heart with him last night to let him know that "NO" Santa is NOT coming tonight. He figured, the tree is up, it's decorated, Santa will be here to approve tonight and leave presents! I couldn't convince him otherwise. He even told me, "Mommy, our tree is so beautiful, I bet Santa will leave EXTRA presents for us!!" I love the things 4-year-olds say!!

I had to add some photos of this gorgeous little Santa baby from last week. Can you stand it???

A little lovely...

Little Miss "M" was an absolute delight. Such a sweet little soft spoken girl, although I was surprised by her vocabulary...she corrected me when I called an Egret a Heron as he was walking by!! "No, no, no, it is not a heron," she said! We took a nice hike through the trails at John Chestnut Park, made friends with some squirrels and enjoyed a gorgous afternoon! I could have photographed this little cutie all day!! Here are a few of my favorites and a sneak peak for mom. I will have the rest of your gallery posted in the next couple of days!

We played hooky!

Last week, Dave took the day off work and the we kept the kids out of school to have a "family fun" day. We spent the entire day at Boyd Hill Nature Park in St. Petersburg. This will be one of those days that I will always remember! The weather was outstanding - high 60s - and sunny. We didn't see as much wildlife as we had expected, but did have a great day explorning the park, having a picnic lunch and just having a really nice day overall.

Here are a few shots from our fun day. We saw TONS of spiderwebs - this is my favorite shot from the day. There's also one (rare) shot of me - 26 weeks along! The shot of Dave and the kids is my new desktop on my computer - I just love it!

Sneak Peak!

Wow. It's been way too long since I've posted! I really need to work on my sneak peaks! It seems since the pregnancy, school starting, and after school activities on top of my photo sessions, the blog has really kind of taken a back seat! I apologize!! We found out a few weeks ago that we're having a baby girl and we're just so excited!! I can't believe there's only about 14 weeks to go already! Time is just flying by.

Here are some photos from a session I had the pleasure to do just this past week. I had SUCH a blast with these two families! I know they have been waiting anxiously for their peak, so here you go!!

WOW!! It's been longer than I thought!!

OK if there is still anyone out there reading, I would like to apologize for the amount of time that has passed since my last post. I promise, there is good reason!! We are expecting baby #3 in February!! I've been very busy over the summer with both kids out of school!! Coordinating them along with photo shoots and being overWHELMINGLY tired, well, the Blog has kind of gone by the wayside. I promise there will be much to come!! I'm feeling 100% better. I actually feel awake and conscious during the day which is a huge improvement over the beginning of the summer!!! We're very excited about this little one coming - I'm almost 16 weeks along already. I can't believe how quickly time flies with the third one!! Being so busy with the other 2, I just don't have time to really daydream about it like I did with my first babies!

I have lots of plans for this fall and am narrowing in on the Christmas card designs I will be offering. If you are interested in scheduling a photo shoot and would like to have prints ready for Christmas, I would do so quickly! I will be posting further information regarding timelines for Christmas photos in the very near future.

Just so I don't post without any pics, here are a couple of my favorites from some wonderful clients over the past couple of months!!
