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 within South Tampa for your mini session. 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.

FRED BALL PARK / BAYSHORE BLVD

Park with oaks, palms and space for kids to run, plus a cute, little gray and white gazebo. Easy parkinng. Also has access to Bayshore Blvd. (Bayshore is optional with this location. Only to be used if your kids are an age where they are safe being adjacent to a large, busy road.)

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.

DAVIS ISLAND BEACH

A small beach area with light sand and some greenery. Overlooks the Davis Island Yacht Club boat basin. Especially nice at sunset. It’s a small area and weekends can get crowded so it’s best on week days. Doesn’t look like much to the eye, but photographs well!

SWANN CIRCLE PARK

Park with old growth oaks and grass, and space for kids to run. Easy Parking.

YOUR HOME

If you live in South Tampa, 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.
