Hi
I am a Photographer and Graphic Designer in Tampa, FL. I have a love for art, colors, and creativity. I believe that photography is about telling people’s stories, with a unique artistic perspective, capturing the thoughts, memories and passion of that person.

Meet Arlo, the new addition to our family! He is full of energy, loves to cuddle and follow his big sis Dakota around. We had been wanting a new dog for awhile now and just fell in love with this breed. He is a Louisiana Catahoula leopard dog. Josh and I picked him out when he was a week old and were able to see him grow up until we could take him home at 7 weeks. I am sure we will post many more photos of him as he grows!

The images captured this energy, as well as the love that Finley and Jonathan share for one another. The wedding was just featured in Style Me Pretty Florida last week.

Jenn and Mike’s baby shower was creative, unique and fun! They gathered friends and family to celebrate at The Dog’s Bollocks, a British pub in Ybor, that is owned by one of their friends. Their decision to rent our photo booth for a baby shower was a first for us, but we loved the creative idea! It was a great way to capture this moment with the people that are closest to them. Hopefully we get to do more of these in the near future!
View all of their photos here! www.jennandmike.laurenpiper.com
Thank you and congratulations to Jenn and Mike!!

These are some night shots that we took in downtown Tampa. The key to taking night shots is having a camera that can be set manually so that you can adjust the shutter speed, ISO and F-stop to allow for adequate exposure. Having a tripod is a necessity in taking night shots because you have to set a long exposure and any movement will blur the shot. It may take several shots at different settings to get the “one” that you are looking for, but it is a lot of fun to see how just a slight adjustment to your settings, can change the photo entirely. Enjoy!
If you have any questions about night photography, feel free to ask!

This is a quick and simple recipe that Josh came up with, it is great for a snack or a nice appetizer before dinner.
This is what you’ll need:
2 zucchinis, 3 eggs, garlic salt, red chili powder, red mill gluten free baking flour and canola oil.
Cut up the zucchini into 1/4 in. slices
Put the beaten eggs and flour into separate bowls and add your oil to the skillet.
Add the garlic salt and chili powder to the flour.
Dip the zucchini into the egg first and then into the flour. Make sure you get a nice amount of flour on the zucchini.
It is best to put only about four or five in at a time . This way the pieces are easier to flip and you won’t need as much oil.
Once golden brown, remove the zucchini from skillet and place them on a paper towel. This will soak up any extra oil.
We also added some onion rings to the mix!
These go great with either ranch or honey mustard sauce to dip in. Pour yourself a nice cold beer and enjoy!

Iggy’s is their favorite chowder place. I had the chance to try some and it was delicious!!
Thank you Bethany and Cody for allowing me to be apart of your special day! I had so much fun and wish you all the best!!

Our trip started off in New Jersey, but before we knew it, Lauren and I were in the car with my family and on our way to attend a wedding and celebrate Easter in Vermont. After a long 8 hours of everyone being crammed in the car together, we arrived at our beautiful house that was situated on Lake Bomossen. The views were outstanding and made for some great shots during the trip!
We had the chance to stop at Long Trail Brewery for a tour, lunch and a Vermont pint (20oz).
A little day trip to the Vermont Country Store.
I snapped this great shot of Lauren as she was totally immersed in the snow. Being the Florida girl that she is, these moments don’t happen often.
Lauren took this amazing picture of the sky at sunset. She sees the world through great eyes.
These last two photos were taken in Philadelphia. I grew up and spent the first 29 years of my life living right outside of this great city!
It was really great being able to travel to Vermont again. I used to go there every year with my family while growing up and it will always be a place where I feel at home, even though it never was. It was Lauren’s first time visiting the state and she got her wish of seeing snow! Great trip!

This past Sunday, we decided to hit the streets of Tampa to meet and photograph some nice couples who live in the area. The place we chose this time was A Taste of South Tampa held in Hyde Park Village. This was an event for restaurants to set up tents and allow everyone to sample the best food they have to offer. The sun was shining and the food, music, and people were great!
John and Helen
Alex and Sarah
Max and Andrea
Steve and Katie
Jeff and Jane
Cathy and Shaun
Stacey and Casey
It was great meeting everyone and thanks to all for allowing us to photograph!! Please check back on the blog from time to time, we’ll be doing more street shoots in the future as well as blogging current wedding and photo shoots. Thanks again! Lauren & Josh
