Tampa graduation photos are over for 2024 for me, but not before I documented one of my sweet friend’s beautiful daughters big milestone of finishing her doctorate a few weeks ago. I am so happy for this family, and all their kind, wonderful, smart “kids” who I have been lucky enough to document for years and years and lots of family milestones. I was so happy we got a gorgeous, sunny night on the Tampa riverfront to document her USF grad pictures.

This family is so blessed to have two recent Bulls in the family. One gril who graduated late last year and one who is about to head to USF full-time. I adore this sweet family and their pups are the most chill dogs I have ever photographed! I loved that doing their senior photos in downtown Tampa meant the dogs were welcome at the photo session, too. This location is a great urban setting for students in Tampa.

Are you already thinking of your senior photos for next year? Listen up for some senior photo ideas! I am NOT a big prop photographer. Honestly, I just love to focus on you rather than “stuff.” BUT, I love having a little prop for seniors to use because sometimes we just don’t know what to do with our hands when getting our pictures taken, am I right? It helps senior loosen up a bit, and I get it being the center of the photo attention is not for everyone, so I am all for helping seniors relax at their Tampa senior photo session.

If you are a senior next year, now is the time to start thinking ahead for your graduation photos. I know most schools require the yearbook photos with a specific company, but if you want to do a session with your style and personality highlighted, let me help! Here is a look at a gorgeous spring senior photo session on Davis Island Beach, complete with cap and gown for a few pictures, too!

What is better than senior pictures? Senior pictures at two iconic Tampa locations is better, right?! This senior is on to big things next year and I loved documenting her happy senior style in two Tampa photo locations. We started at Water Street, a newer fun, vibrant location in Tampa. Perfect for her sunny disposition. Then we headed to Davis Islands Beach.

I love that this senior booked two mini-sessions this spring to optimize the best of our beautiful Tampa Bay locations for senior pictures. A quick 30 minute session means a quick change so you don’t lose light and session time, but if you do book two mini-sessions, then that means two locations and up to two outfits per location, too! Win-win! I only offer mini-sessions on weekends unless I have a few mini-sessions set up back to back during select times of the year. With longer days right now, it is a great time to set up a weekday mini-session to document your grad in your life!

Pets welcome! Check out this sweet Riverview Florida senior photo session with her darling dog as w.ll Set at Boyette Springs Park, one of my favorite woodsy and water view locations near Riverview, the light really is magic. Senior photos Tampa, Riverview and the surrounding area provide a lot of lush green backdrops to choose from!

Meet N. Her smile and spirit match her beauty and brains! I adore her and her family. Her senior session was a two part session and I am actually recommending it for future seniors if you can do manage to set up two mini-sessions, or a full session with a plan for two locations in the logistics! Now, for two fun Tampa photo locations, the green house and park area near Fishhawk Ranch, check out these fun senior portraits with personality and such a variety!

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.” – Helen Keller. This sunshiney senior is about to graduate, but first we documented her Tampa senior pictures in Winthrop Town Center. The perfect spot for unique urban backdrops and flowers and greenery to give us a lot of variety in a small space. If you are looking for senior pictures in Tampa Bay next year, now is the time to start reaching out to plan for your senior’s portraits for the class of 2024.
