Tank’s Photoshoot | Alison Epps Photography – Tampa Portrait Photographer

Warning: Grab your tissues and enjoy these memories we made of Tank! Sometimes as photographers we often get to document the happiest days of people’s lives. Sometimes we also need to document the harder times too, to preserve memories we don’t want forgotten as changes come. When Tiffanie contacted me for this shoot we knew it was going to be emotional and hard to get through with dry eyes. Tank really is a little warrior and just the best kind of dog there is! Tiffanie was a former bride of mine who’s wedding was up in Savannah. These dogs mean so much to her they were all three in the wedding! :) They also made an appearance in our engagement shoot in St. Petersburg. They…

Kristine and Jeff | Destination Family Session | St. Petersburg Photographer

0100

This destination family session for Kristine and Jeff was an absolute dream. They contacted me to do a shoot for their first anniversary!! How fun? You don’t need a wedding, baby or special event in life to take fun pictures. I love that they value taking the time to do portraits throughout their life together. :) Baseball was something that meant a lot to them so we went to the stadium for some fun on the field and in the stands. We also walked around the park and downtown for a lot of fun shots there too.

My Favorite Place | Bar Harbor, Maine | Destination Photographer – Alison Epps Photography

Do you have a favorite place in the world? Somewhere you just dream about being, constantly? The one place that as soon as you get off the plane just feels like home on your first time visiting. For me and my husband, that place is Bar Harbor, Maine. A little back story. In 2012 we traveled to Maine for the first time. It was August, which in Florida is disgustingly hot and humid. You step outside there and it’s a nice cool 75 degrees. Refreshing. We flew up the morning after I had a wedding and got bumped to first class, free drinks at 8am? WHY NOT!? We stayed at the cutest little cabin with an awesome view of water on the adirondacks out back….

Boston and Family | St. Petersburg Portrait Photographer | Georgia Family Portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing Boston and his family just before he turned a year old in South Carolina. Since then I moved to Florida but had the pleasure of going back to Georgia to photograph for their family again, this time Boston is 18 months and has a little sister on the way to share the spotlight. I just LOVE Wormsloe as a backdrop for portraits, I wish it was just a hop skip and a jump away. They are about to embark on a move themselves and I wish we were closer so I could photograph the beautiful little girl when she arrives. Congrats to the family and many blessings in your new adventures.

Little Sun Hat Review and Giveaway!!! — St. Petersburg Family Photographer

St. Petersburg Family Photographers_0183

It seems odd to say summer is quickly approaching since, like many southern states, it already feels like summer here in St. Petersburg. Our recent move back to Florida was just what I wanted for several reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I miss Savannah dearly. But, come on, the sunshine state is the perfect place to raise my daughter. I may be a bit biased. One thing that was severely lacking in Savannah was pools. I grew up swimming on hot summer days (or hot spring days, or hot winter and fall days too ;) I was a fishy. There is just something indescribable about swimming. I actually was a lifeguard in my teen years and even taught swim lessons to children working at several…
