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
BALLAST POINT PARK
Brick roads, the pier and a view of downtown. plus, an open area with big oak trees and lots of moss.
Note: Less crowded on weekdays.
MARJORIE PARK MARINA ON DAVIS ISLAND
A small marina with a cute, Spanish style boat house and docked sailboats boats. Also a view to downtown.
DOWNTOWN TAMPA
An urban, downtown feel with stairs, lights and reflections.
Note: Best for engagement sessions or families with older children. Not recommended for babies or young families due to proximity to busy streets.
WATER WORKS PARK
Along the river with greenery and wooden footbridges.
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.
