Tampa Bay is now home to hundreds of photographers. When I first started, there were maybe 50 professional photographers working across the region. Today, there are well over 200. It’s a competitive space—but I’ve carved out a niche, especially when it comes to beach sessions.
My most in-demand service is beach photography, with sessions primarily on St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, and Indian Shores/Redington Beach. While I offer a variety of photography services, these beach sessions are the heart of my business.
What Sets My Work Apart?
Photography trends come and go. Right now, natural light, “light and bright,” and “dark and moody” styles are everywhere. Many photographers describe their work as “documentary-style,” though most of those sessions are still carefully posed and directed to appear candid.
Yes, I use natural light—but I’m not limited to it. I bring my own lighting to sessions, giving me more control and allowing for richer, more detailed images. Unlike the blown-out white skies you often see in beach photography, I aim for vivid, colorful skies and clear detail—not dark silhouettes. I want your family’s faces to be lit beautifully and the entire scene to look vibrant. Where others might rely only on post-editing or push their equipment to the limits, I strive for clean, high-quality images with minimal noise and crisp detail, even when zoomed in.
I also pride myself on and ENJOY capturing diversity of skin tone, age, and —something that’s often overlooked and under-skilled in beach photography. With the right lighting and editing techniques, I ensure every shade is represented with care, warmth, and clarity. Your family deserves portraits where everyone looks their absolute best.
And beyond just skin tone, I deeply value and welcome diversity in all its forms—including LGBTQ+ families, multi-generational groups, and people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a couple, a blended family, chosen family, or celebrating a milestone with grandparents or great-grandparents, my sessions are designed to be inclusive, respectful, and joyful. You’ll always be seen, celebrated, and treated with kindness in front of my lens.
If you look around you might notice most photographers show a portfolio of all (or almost all) beautiful white people. That’s obviously not me, I enjoy capturing all people! All ages, skin tones, sizes and choice!
My Style: A Blend of Traditional and Natural
While many lean heavily into the “run-around-and-see-what-we-capture” method, I prefer a balance. I take a more traditional approach when it comes to posing. I want to see faces—happy, smiling, and full of life—not just the backs of heads. Of course, I let kids be kids—I’ll often tell them to run around and have fun. But I’ll guide the session so we don’t just capture moments, we capture memories.
