Despite the colder weather we are having, it isn’t as cold as Colorado, right? This gorgeous and fun family got together for vacation on Indian Rocks Beach and set up their extended family photo session to document their time together. Get photo inspiration and enjoy a few photo tips for getting ready a beach photo session. These are especially helpful if you are visiting from out of town.

Wild winter weather doesn’t stop us from documenting your family on vacation in Tampa Bay! This gorgeous family session on Indian Rocks Beach truly shows what December beach weather in Tampa Bay may look like! Adult and teenage children at photo sessions when everyone is together is truly priceless! Don’t forget to document your family at all ages, not just as they are adorble little children!

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!

If you are looking for famlily photos or senior portraits this is absolutely one of my favorite locations with the variety we get in a small space! I loved that there were some festive wreaths up by the time we got our session in this fall, too. This location is always up for Riverview mini-sessions each fall and sometimes even in the spring if the wildflowers pop up!

I just adore when families get together and want to document this time together with a photo session. Celebrating this gorgeous mama of this family, we got together to celebrate her 70th birthday. I honestly don’t believe she is 70! Can I have her skin when I am 70? But I digress. I just had the most fun documenting this family at the gorgeous Medard Park in Plant City. The mossy trees, beautiful sunlight, gorgeous huge trees that look prehistoric and so unique, yes please!

I am so honored and thankful this family has welcomed me to their home year after year. We always have the best light, the best location and best time. I definitely sweat a lot less this year, thankfully as well. The picture perfect weather in October allowed us time to relax and take some stress free family photos at their home again this year. I absolutely adore this family and feel like the photos are just a bit more special this time around for them, too. I can’t believe how much the kids have matured. I am going to share a few of our first session at the very end just to show how time flies!

EG Simmons Beach in Ruskin may not sounds like the perfect photo spot in Tampa Bay. When you think of Ruskin you may think tomatos. The beach and regional park on the bay though is a quiet little Tampa Bay photo gem. Check out this gorgoeus family and their sweet fall mini-session on the beach.

You know those places that are just magical, no matter the weather, no matter sunshine or clouds, these special locations just always seem to be bring out the best for photos? That is Davis Islands Beach for me.This family is also pretty magical and special too. They have trusted me for a few years now with the extra bonus of film at their mini-sessions. That means they get a little extra time and a whole roll of film to play with and keep the digitals of at the end as well. Davis Islands and film are also a perfect match like peanut butter and jelly!

I just love when a night works out with perfect weather, the perfect light, the perfect family and the perfect outfits. I work hard with clients to help guide them to be themselves in photos and still bring style that fits them and works well in camera. This family probably didn’t need much help in the style departement though at all. They layered the most perfect textures and variety of fabrics in all neutrals. Families, save these photos for a neutral palette guide for your family’s beach photos in neutrals. This is a great “what to wear” guide for neutral clothing options for your family photo session at the beach!

A one month old in the comfort of their home is the best way to document your baby without too much stress. When you are sleep deprived and running on hormones and caffeine, keeping things simple for your baby’s first photo session is always best. These Tampa family and one month baby portraits are similar to the ones we did for his big sister a few short years ago, too.

Picnic Island Beach and Park in Tampa was a great photo back drop for this fun family photo session. I loved their fall outfits that coordinated but didn’t match too perfectly. They brought their fun energy and a great attitude to result in more photos than they will ever need.

This high school senior session took place over two locations; which is always an option to add on to your senior pictures if you like. We started at this senior’s favorite spot, the golf course. Then we headed to Davis Island Beach for some family photos. I love to offer family photos for the last few minutes of a senior session.This works well if your senior doesn’t want too many outfit changes or individual images. Instead, if we take the last third of the session time for family, you get to document your family before the next big milestone of graduation. For a lot of kids, that means leaving “the nest” and it is the last time everyone is around and easy to set up a family photo session!
