Mini Session Locations

I strive to place a focus on people over place. I prefer for the people in my images to to be the most interesting part of the photograph. However, pretty places abound all over Tampa and it’s fun to adjust the feel of the session to the place you choose to be photographed.

I am happy to go anywhere you’d like! You do not have to stick to this list. However, here are some places that I shoot often, that I know photograph well and offer variety….

HYDE PARK VILLAGE

Neighborhood-look with trees and grass, but also store-fronts and fences, steps and fountains.

Note: Best for weekday sessions when it’s more quiet with less shoppers and diners walking around.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA

Green, lush landscaping, historic, brick buildings with pretty woodwork, cut glass, and a view of downtown.

NOTE: Best for sessions after 5pm on weekdays or on weekends, when parking is open to the public.

CURTIS HIXON PARK

A more modern, clean-lined park on the river with the colorful children’s museum and a view of UT across the river.

NOTE: Please check the calendar to be sure your session isn’t during an event : CURTIS HIXON EVENT SCHEDULE

YOUR HOME

Invite me into your home to capture your life in your own space. You might think your house/apartment/condo is too small, too dark, too messy, to boring…. but I dare you to let me show you that we can still make wonderful pictures in whatever space you call your home.
