Seniors, you are almost there! One more semester until the class of 2026 graduates! If you want a custom portrait experience with fun locations around Tampa Bay, we are offering select dates and locations for a few mini-sessions this spring. Most take place on Mondays with a slight discount for the weekday, and one location has an early Saturday morning option. Book directly here while session slots are available.

I am truly so lucky to document so many amazing kids, especially so many truly amazing high school seniors. This kiddo is no different. I met his family at the very end of summer, just as he was about to enter senior year. Our plan was to document him again on his own this spring for a senior portrait photo session in Tampa. I am so glad we were able to squeeze in this mini-session on Davis Islands and the beach. While Davis Islands took so many hits last fall with hurricanes, it is still such a special place. I am glad to see it is still rebuilding and I truly hope it is spared this year with storms. The vegetation is also looking slightly better but no where near as thick and lush as it once was. Thankfully though, it still gets some of the prettiest light in Tampa. It does however, also get extremely busy with beach goers all week long, and other photographers and beach set ups, and the like, so it is best for a quick session so we can get in and out and explore other areas of Tampa, too.

It is that time of year where I get a lot of inquiries for senior photo sessions. I love it! Senior portraits are some of my favorite photo sessions. Each senior brings their unique style and personality to these sessions and that can be so fun and creatively freeing for me as a photographer. Letting you be you is so important! So, if you are a free spirit, or maybe more of a book worm, or maybe a sport fanatic, let’s document you as you are! What do you want to remember as you hit this high school completion and milestone? That can help me with not only style guidance for the best photos to stand out amongst the crowd, but also give you the best ideas for photo locations around Tampa Bay!

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.

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!

This family is one of my favorites and after years of knowing them, I finally got them in front of my camera. What a big milestone as this guy gets ready to graduate!! I am always thrilled when senior pictures include a portion for family photos, too. As a Plant City senior photographer one of the most requested locations is Medard Park. It is always gorgeous and allowed so much room to bring his baby, er, car with! Having something meaningful at your senior pictures can often time relax seniors more. Especially guys who many not be as used to taking selfies and photos as some of the senior girls I photograph.

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!

Senior photo sessions are in full swing here in Tampa Bay. Check out this Riverview, Florida, photographer and a Winthrop Town Center photo session. Senior pictures in Tampa can take place is so many great locations but you can see how Winthrop allows for lots of backdrops in a short amount of time.

I love when seniors are looking for something unique for their senior photo session. Check out theseTampa senior pictures with an urban twist in this photo session around Water Street from a few weeks ago. I can’t wait for this family to get their prints in their hands from this colorful and fun laid back photo walk session. The Water Street and Sparkman Wharf area of Tampa provided a fun and colorful backdrop for this stunning senior!
