There is exquisite charm in the neighborhoods of Bayshore and South Tampa and it’s always a treat to be surrounded by tranquility in the outdoors when making lifestyle portraits.  Heather and I chatted the afternoon away talking about yoga, Pebbles and Sunny, travels and life.  The waterfront along Bayshore provides amazing view of the rocky shores overlooking the Tampa skyline, and we discovered a beautiful hidden spot in Ballast Pointe for yoga.

For the record, can I just say that yoga is really hard?  REALLY, hard.  I came home after Heather’s session and decided to “try” a few positions that Heather showed me.  And um, I don’t think my neighbor downstairs appreciated all the loud thumping.  Yoga on the Wii in the middle of your living room is nothing close to yoga on cement and concrete.  I guess that’s what the mat is for?  Kudos to Heather for doing yoga anytime, anywhere.

Heather’s parents’ home is a gem, complete with grown vegetation and character.

Pebbles and Sunny joined for a couple portraits.  What you don’t see is the amount of treats I had in my hand.  I never claimed to be a dog whisperer =/

Fun and carefree on a sunny afternoon..
