Young Family’s First Photo Shoot

A heartfelt South Tampa family photo session at Ballast Point Park. With their 9-month-old boy stealing the show, genuine moments were captured. The devoted grandmother's presence added depth, showcasing the special bond with her grandson. Beautiful surroundings, tender interactions, and candid shots made this session truly memorable.

In the gentle morning light at Ballast Point Park, a new family of three embarked on a memorable photo session, their family’s first. With their 9-month-old boy stealing the show, the love and joy in their hearts was palpable. The devoted grandmother took part as well and I was able to capture the special bond she shared with her grandson.

Ballast Point Park proved to be a versatile location, offering a diverse range of scenery. From tree-lined streets adorned with Spanish moss to open clearings showcasing the stunning Tampa skyline, the park provided a picturesque backdrop for this family's portraits. I focused on capturing the young family together, as well as intimate moments between the mother and her baby, and playful, candid shots with the father.

Family Photo Shoot In St. Petersburg

Let me tell you about my recent family photography session at Gizella Kopsick Arboretum in St. Petersburg, Florida. This time, I had the pleasure of capturing a family of four with two young boys. What made this shoot special was the two vastly different environments within walking distance of each other. The arboretum was full of tropical plants and winding paths that provided an incredible natural setting. Just across the street was Tampa Bay, giving the shoot a beautiful beach setting.

At the arboretum, I was able to capture portraits of both boys amongst the lush greenery, and I'll never forget the moment when the younger boy acted like a photographer and took some playful shots of his family! It was an unplanned moment that added a unique touch to the photos. We then headed over to the beach, where I captured candid moments of the family playing together.

From the playfulness of the boys to the romantic moments between the parents, I was able to create a variety of shots that they will treasure for years to come.
