I’m so excited for your mini session!
These shoots are quick (just 20 minutes!) to get you in and out. That said, please plan to arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to ensure time to park and walk to the designated meeting spot. Mini sessions are booked one right after another, so it’s important to start on time so we’ll be able to make use of your full 20 minute shoot.
If you have any trouble finding me on the day-of, just call or text my cell: 813.317.6467
Where to meet…
HYDE PARK VILLAGE:
Meet me at the main fountain (between Pottery Barn and West Elm). Street parking and (free) garage parking is available throughout Hyde Park Village.
UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA:
Meet me on the front steps of Plant Hall (the main building, with the minarets and which houses the museum), across from the fountain and the round about.
You can view the meeting location, here:

Parking is incredibly easy on weekends. On weekends, all parking is open and available (even spots marked as “student or faculty only”), except for the spots designated for the museum (during museum hours).
On weekdays, you can park in Admissions Parking (marked in yellow below) and Museum parking (marked in green below), after 5pm. If your session will begin before 5pm, you can apply for a visior parking pass through the school, or (what I recommend) park off campus, near OE, and walk over. If you’d like to apply for the visitor parking, you can do so here:

BALLAST POINT PARK:
Meet me at the base of the pier, near The Taste of Boston Restaurant. There are a few blue public picnic tables there (not the restaurant ones) that make for a good place to meet. The parking lot is not that big, so definitely allow time to circle a few times on weekends. There’s also parking in an additional lot to the left when you pull in, and also one right across the street, near the horses.
MARJORIE PARK MARINA:
Meet me in front of the little white Marina building, on the parking lot side, not the water side. When you pull in, you’ll drive past The Junior League on your left and just keep going until you run into the marina. Parking is almost always completely open and very easy.
FRED BALL PARK | 2621 Bayshore Blvd
Parking is available along Rubideaux Street Meet me by the gazebo.
SWANN CIRCLE | Swann Cir & W Woodmere Rd
I’ll meet you in the small parking lot located at Swann Circle and W Woodmere Road.
