TBAY PHOTOS

The first round of TBAY photos turned out fantastic, the kids and their families were so easy to work with and they were truly excited to have themselves photographed underwater. This was my favorite shot from Saturday. This young lady is such a powerful swimmer and I felt that this photo really captured that. I'm looking forward to round two with the younger half of the swim team. Big thanks to Coach Julia for helping to organize things.

TBAY photos this Saturday!

This Saturday I'll be doing a photo shoot for TBAY a local swim team. I'll be doing a team photo as well as individuals. This is a very competitive team and I'm excited to be able to photograph some of it's swimmers.
The above photo is just another day at the pool for my oldest daughter Chloe'.

ISR PhotographyI

Today my youngest daughter graduated from ISR swimming classes. She is 16 months old and is now able to save her self in the water by rolling over to float and then back over to swim to safety. This is an amazing course and a must for those of us that live around the water. For anyone that has never heard of it, ISR is Infant Swimming Resource. Private lessons taught by highly skilled instructors every day for up to 10 minutes. It usually takes between 4-7 weeks for the little ones to master the skills. By their graduation they are able to swim-float-swim, in everything from a diaper to a winter clothes with boots on. They are trained how to rescue themselves in water and how to float until they are rescued if there is no way out of the water. As a parent this offers an extra peace of mind. I was able to capture this awesome day for my daughter and many of the other children taking ISR along side her. A long way from shooting marine life, who knew shooting babies could be so rewarding:) For more information on ISR here in Tampa go to www.tampaswimbabies.com or www.infantswim.com for anywhere else.

Manatees in Three Sisters Spring Crystal River, Fl

Never boring, never a let down. Whenever the weather gets cool, my first thought is to head up for a swim with the manatees. It's a great family day. The kids enjoy it as much as I do. These gentle creatures love the camera, they are always so curious. Unfortunately they also like to kick up silt, but if you get there early in the morning, you can grab some great shots before things get too silty.

Bonne Terre Mine

Recently I had the amazing opportunity to dive in the Bonne Terre Mine. This is a truly unique dive site that should be on every diver's to do list. The dive let's you experience a trip back in time in a very unique way.
