A couple of weeks ago I went for a walk around Tampa Bay.

The sun was setting fast, but I was able to capture some photo’s of my beautiful town!

So after a ton of work and stress Laurenpiper.com has gotten a huge face lift! Well I think it is more than just a lift, it is a completly new site. So with that being said, go check it out!

Last weekend I went over to the Tampa, Lowry Park Zoo. I have not gotten a chance to visit the Lowry Park Zoo, but I have heard such wonderful things about it. It was probably one of florida’s coldedst days out, but I made sure to put on lots of layers. Some of the animals weren’t out due to the cold weather, but I had a wonderful time and even got to have some close encounters with some of the animals!

I got to feed the Giraffe’s, I was so excited because they are my favorite animal!

With Christmas just behind us and the new year aproaching in a couple of days the parties are beinging to slow down. I can’t wait for the New Year and all that comes with it!
I hope everyone had a fabulouse Christmas and that you have a fun and safe New Years.
A couple of weeks ago I got to shoot the annual Knight Electric Christmas Party. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun, surrounded by friends and family! The place was decorated with a beach Christmas theme, which was very fun and interesting, it even included a mermaid!

Everyone brought a toy to donate to kids in need. They filled a boat full!

A couple of weeks back I got to capture this wonderful couple, Matt and Chelsea. They are so much fun and so full of love for each other! We meet up in Ybor and Chelsea had such a great idea to do some photo’s of them with their DS’s. I love that they came up with this idea it was so fun and different. Here are some shots from their engagement shoot.

Engagement shoot in Ybor

This weekend we headed over to the park which a friend had told us that we lived in walking distance to. I wasn’t sure about this because I felt like I had explored our neighbor hood pretty well, but low and behold there was a park hiding pretty much in our back yard! It isn’t a huge park, but it is quite, we can take the dogs there, it is on the water, and did I mention the best perk?  It is pretty much in our back yard! Saturday Jer and I took lunch and the pups there. They loved it and we loved getting some fresh air. I brought along my new lens and got to try it out before my photo shoot later that day. (which there will be a sneak peak coming up very soon!)

and I don’t remember the rest of the joke!  But this was just one of many jokes that were told at Tara’s photo shoot. Tara was such a fun and out going girl, telling jokes and just making us crack up. She was great to work with, and it was so fun to capture her wonderful personality. We went to Ybor for the shoot and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. Here are a couple shots from the day.

Has anyone else had a super fun shoot lately? Add a link to your shoot in the comments so everyone can go check it out!
