I had a fantastic session last weekend with Lisa and Chris who are expecting there first child in about a month.
It’s going to be a boy but they haven’t decided on a name yet and told me it may come down to the wire on a decision .
This session was so much fun they were both truly excited to be recording this time in there lives and clearly love each other a great deal and I think it shows in the pictures .
The funniest part was when I asked Lisa if she wanted some shots with the little blue baby shoes I have as props and she said maybe and Chris chimed in and said “That means YES”
So here are a few shots from the session.
If you would like more information on booking a session send me an email. don@donsmithpics.com

I had a great time shooting last Sunday with Lisa an aspiring model from Tampa who contacted me about doing some glamor images for her portfolio.
I’ve done a couple of photo shoots with Lisa before for some of my personal projects so it was very easy to get in the grove and get some good images.
I had a good time trying out several lighting arrangement’s plus I don’t think Lisa can take a bad picture she really dose make me look good.
You can check out more of Lisa’s modeling work on her Model Mayhem Profile.

Scott Kelby’s Second Annual World Wide Photo Walk
http://worldwidephotowalk.com/
Had a a great time last Saturday at the Kelby photo walk in Ybor city in Tampa Florida.
Our walk was led by Scott Kelby and we explored 7th and 8th ave. and ended up at the Spaghetti Factory .
32,600 photographers from around the world participated!
People had everything form point and shoot to the top of the line pro gear but it did not matter it was all abut exploring photography and making friends.
Here are a couple of my shots from the walk.


Had a great weekend first with Scott Kelby Photo walk in Ybor city (more on that later) and then the Greengold-Lovoi wedding.
Dana and John were married on the beach in front of the Carlouel Yacht Club in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
This was my first Jewish ceremony and it was just so beautiful and full of meaning.
Breaking of the glass
One of the most common meanings is that the fragility of the glass also suggests the frailty of human relationships, even the strongest love is subject
to disintegration, the glass is broken to protect the marriage with an implied prayer.
“As this glass shatters, So may your marriage never break”
Dana and John I wish you all the best.

John and the boys.

Well I’ve been looking for a way to get involved with the comunity and use photography to make a diffrence in peoples lives and I think I fond it.
The Alpha House of Tampa is a non profit organization who’s mission is to
“ empower pregnant and parenting women in crisis to realize their ability
to break the cycles of poverty and abuse and create promising lives for themselves and their babies.”
I going to attend there Lunch and learn session on the 9th and hopefully be setting up some dates to do some photography sessions for there clients.
I think self esteem is so important I hope that through my photography I can help some one along and provide some positive memory’s.
In the nest few weeks I be posting some images of our sessions.
I’ll also be gifting some free sessions to there contributors who donate a dollar amount to be determined shortly and donating a portion of my session fees in the next few months to help them out.
Check out the Alpha House website for ways you can help.
