Alpha House of Pinellas Gala 2009 - St. Petersburg Photographer

This was my second year photographing The Alpha House of Pinellas County's Fall Gala, and once again the girls on the Gala Committee put together a beautiful event! The lights were twinkling, the energy was electrifying and the night full of hope. I'm honored to have contributed my time and talent to this wonderful cause.

The ALPHA House of Pinellas County!
The mission of ALPHA House is to provide housing and supportive services to homeless pregnant women and teens, new mothers with infants, and families experiencing crisis pregnancies. ALPHA House is Pinellas County’s only residential maternity program.

Since 1979, ALPHA has provided housing and support services to over 3000 women, teens and infants. Through the years, approximately 90% of those who have gone through the ALPHA House program made a successful transition into permanent housing and independent living.

The Infamous Amy Cardy!

Amy and I met downtown to create head shots to promote her company Amy Cardy Productions. We took my favorite walking loop around the city and in one-hour got so much variety. We ended in one of my favorite alley's behind a seafood restaurant and it smelled like it!! You'll see Amy below as we were commenting on the scent!

This isn't the first time you've seen this beauty. Here she is last year when we photographed her with her adorable son!

Pink and Yellow!

In keeping with photographing the cutest kids in St. Petersburg, I had a session this weekend with another sibling pair downtown. Look at his eyes, and her smile!! I'm so lucky! Stephanie, thank you!

It's Deja vu!

I've certainly had my share of super cute children to photograph lately. For the second weekend in a row I've had a session with a duo of brothers. This past Sunday morning I met with the Dowling Boys, friends of the Quick Boys from last weekend. Take a peek and you'll see how the younger ones could be brothers themselves. I had such a blast photographing these guys, and I love how these shots came out. It was the boys idea to squeeze themselves into the cut-out in the brick. They seemed to gravitate to it. Nice!

Anne, it was great meeting you, a fellow New Yorker:-) Well, I am at heart anyway. Thank you!!

The Quick Boys

I couldn't have chosen two better models. They're so cute and it didn't take much to get them going in front of the camera. We spent almost two hours together downtown St. Petersburg and the camera ate these two up!! Thank you to mom Jade for reaching out to me after our brief meeting at the One Lucky Dog pet boutique.

Introducing, the Quick Boys!

And for some real boy fun now!

The other sister!

Once upon a time not so long ago.... Here is Sara, the missing link of Jenna and Sara. I recently met up with her and mom Colleen to deliver their holiday cards and I was enthusiastically greeted with the model release. So I'm now able to show off some of little sister Sara's lovely images from the session back in July!!

Luke

This is Luke. Good ole' Alabama boy! It was a pleasure to spend a Monday morning walking around downtown St. Petersburg with you. I'll have to give Alix a big hug for sending you my way! You theatre folk are just wonderful!
