Factual Friday: Where's the baby?

Here at Kurz Studio Photography, our baby has officially become a toddler!


That's right. This kid is walking!





Drew and I are quite thankful. (He weighs 30 pounds.)



So proud!

Factual Friday: Tampa Baby Photographer

My fact for this Friday... Babies are messy!

I walk into my kitchen and find this:



"Oh, hi Mama! Would you like some of this oatmeal I found?"



"No? It's pretty tasty!"





In the spirit of being factual, I must admit that I was the one who spilled the oatmeal. Little bit here was just trying to help me clean it up, I'm sure. ;)

Factual Friday

I just love my little family. My two boys light up my life.

We went walking out on the Tampa Bay Trail today and I got this shot. My baby is learning how to walk! And yes, that is a garbage dump behind us. But we like to think of it as rolling hills.

=)

Enjoy the weekend! The weather is beautiful these days.

Factual Friday!!!

Twenty-seven years ago today, in California, Drew was born. Happy birthday to him!

Every year on our birthdays, we love to go to the Texas Cattle Company in Lakeland (we even got engaged outside, by Hollis Garden). It is the best beef I've ever had, and I grew up on a cattle ranch. Plus, they give a free steak if you go on the date of your birth, with proper id. Really great steaks, here we come!

Factual Friday #2

This Friday snuck up on me.

Here's my fact:
I started really loving photography when I was in high school. I liked it before, but the only camera I had access to was an old Polaroid that my Grandpa bought me at a garage sale, and $10 was a lot for a fifth grader to spend on film!

So, in high school, when the school started paying for film, I really liked playing with cameras. I had to do a scrapbook for FFA, and I helped out with the yearbook. That really got me hooked. I bought myself a Canon Rebel (film) for graduation from high school and that started the era of my family giving me dirty looks and saying, "Ellie, really, put the camera away." =)

I took a couple of black and white film photography classes at Florida Southern College, where I met this fun guy named Drew. I got to be the lab monitor in the darkroom my senior year!

I swore that I was never going to go digital because I loved developing my own photos so much, but then Drew got a Digital Rebel during our engagement and I saw how great it was to see the results of your shooting quickly, instead of waiting for weeks.

When we moved to Tampa, I decided to give wedding photography a try and Kurz Studio Photography was born!

Have a super weekend!

Factual Friday

I (Ellie) am starting a new blog tradition.

Fridays are going to be factual here at Kurz Studio Photography in Tampa.

"Are you normally lying, then?" might be your query...

No, I'm not normally lying. I just want to share more about who I am, so that you get a feel for me as a person not just me as a photographer. =)

So, I'm going to share a fact about myself. This week, I'm going to share a fact about my other half as well. We'll see if he's reading.

Okay, here I go!!

I am, at heart, a teacher. I taught pre-kindergarten special ed before I became a mom. I love working with kids. Especially the ones who are the biggest underdogs. I even got a masters degree in special ed, in hopes that I would do a better job of helping.

Drew is a web designer, at heart. He likes working with code and making beautiful pixels. He's good at it. He made the Kurz Studio Photography web site.

So as not to make anyone feel left out, I'm going to include Eli this week. Eli sucks his thumb. The left one. Does that mean he'll be a lefty?
