Tampa family photographer offering mini-sessions for 2024. These mini-sessions are located at various gorgeous Tampa Bay locations starting in late September through late November. Check out options now before they are gone.

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.

I love families who come here to vacation together and make time to get family photos done together. It really is so special to document your vacations on our gorgeous Florida beaches, but it is a whole different level when you take time to do a family photo session on the beach with your whole family. This family was staying on Treasure Island Beach. I don’t get to that specific area as much as Indian Rocks Beach and south in areas like Pass-a-Grille Beach or Anna Maria Island but man, Treasure Island was super pretty!

I was so happy to get to the beach this May. Apollo Beach photos are always fun and I have had quite a few maternity sessions there over the years, too. It is typically not the busiest beach in the area, but the new viewing platform and longer hours until sunset year round definitely makes it an easier to get to beach for those of us on this side of the bay for sure. For this time of year, the weather is warmer, the water is warmer, but the breeze at the beach usually means it is one of the slightly cooler spots to do a photo session in Tampa Bay in summer!

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.

I feel so lucky when I get to document milestones at this age. 10 year olds don’t always get their own photo session. I know as kids get older, maybe we start only doing the once a year update the family photo session, and that is amazing, too. But I still feel like it is important to fill in the “in between” years of childhood. So many people get that first year of photos, then maybe two and three, and maybe into kindergarten, and then it feel like sometimes we skip to 15 or 16 or maybe even all the way until high school graduation to document our kids on their own. I love doing some in between sessions to celebrate those years that are maybe a little less documented. Now, don’t get me wrong, they are probably documented in cell phones and selfies but a photo session just for them is really special. Plus, how many cell phone selfies are you printing to enjoy in the real world, with a tangible piece of art celebrating your kiddo?

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.

I am so glad this sweet family moved back to the area. I was lucky enough to photograph their oldest a LONG time ago for her newborn photos. My, has she changed since then and I mean, come on, now they have three more kiddos and it doesn’t get any sweeter than that! Their mama also was the best “big boy sitter” as the boys called her back then. She helped me as I was getting into business and had kids not school aged at that point. She would take them to the park, the museum and was the BEST! Now, she is the best mama, and I am not surprised at all! So, here is a morning session we did at my favorite Tampa flower field.

I adored meeting this family near the Don Cesar Hotel on Pass-a-Grille Beach for some family vacation pictures. They were in town together and the backdrop was a perfect beach spot for them and took them back to memories they had when they met in college nearby. The colorful spring wardrobe for this beach session was so vibrant, too. Just like their personalities. I had fun documenting their connections and personalities alike. When mom wanted to get a few of their daughter’s love of gymnastics I was happy to snap a few of just her, too.

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.
