If you follow me, you know since the pandemic, I have been photographing using film for a lot of personal projects as well as some client work. My travel account on Instagram is full of film work. However, I do love to add film to my Tampa family photo session as well. Let’s talk about how to add a roll of film to your photo session.

Three newborns, three outdoor photo sessions and so many years of photo memories! The Riverhills Park location in Temple Terrace is definitely a hidden photo spot gem for Tampa. It has water, and lush trees, ferns, little paths and lots of gorgeous back lighting. Here are just a few favorites from this lovely outdoor newborn and family photo session. I could definitely see this spot working for a senior looking for water views and greenery and who may not want to go to Lettuce Lake because it is a busier spot. With littles we didn’t explore as much as we could have but with older kids or teens it would be a great spot for a full session for a lot of natural variety in a small-ish area!

This time of year, it is a great time for outdoor newborn photo sessions. I loved meeting this sweet family in their neighborhood up in Odessa. The light at the park was just perfect, and although it definitely warmed up quickly. Still, it was still bearable in the early morning hours just as the sun came up. Since these guys are used to being up early with littles and a new baby, getting your newborn pictures done in the morning is usually a great idea! If you are currently pregnant, don’t forget to set up your newborn photo session before baby arrives for the most scheduling flexibility, too!

I loved meeting this family and their newest addition about five weeks after he was born. We had a great time documenting him as well as their pups in their relaxed in home newborn pictures in Tampa Bay. This session proves that “newborn” photos don’t have to be taken when the baby is less than two weeks old. If you want a more relaxed newborn photo experience, we can do it in the comfort of your home at any time you are ready.

An in home lifestyle newborn session with an added bonus of ending the session at the beach. I love being able to document families, especialy newborns, in their homes. It gives everyone more ease being in their own space. Comfort for everyone in the family, from toddler big brothers, to pup family members, everyone gets to chill and just let me document you while getting to know you and everyone’s personality.
