On a nice day, take a stroll right outside the museum along side the river on the newly designed Tampa Riverwalk.

Reasons why you should hire a newborn PHOTOGRAPHER |tampa FL NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Congratulations!! Thinking about hiring a professional newborn photographer?

Here are my top reasons why you’ll want to make the investment!

1) Safety

This is the number one reason to hire a professional newborn photographer. A trained and experienced newborn photographer will also be educated in newborn safety. Baby posing should be done correctly, to ensure proper blood flow. Make the investment to hire someone trained to create beautiful artwork for your family, but also someone who can keep your baby safe.

2) This is a huge life milestone!

Just like a wedding, having a baby is a huge life milestone that you will want to capture and look back on. The portraits for a newborn session are also photos you will want to share with your child and pass down to them!

3) To display beautiful art work

When you invest in a skilled newborn photographer, you will have photos you will want to hang on your walls and show off! I have my children’s newborn photos hanging in my home and my kids LOVE looking at them. Being able to walk by these portraits daily, puts an immediate smile on our faces!

4) Stress-free!

Photographers who specialize in newborn photography will have a large variety of props and textiles to style your dream session!

I recommend booking your newborn session in your second trimester to secure a spot. My home studio is located in Tampa FL, and newborn sessions fill up months in advance, so inquire as soon as possible!

Outdoor maternity or studio maternity- What’s Your Preference? | tampa FL Maternity Photographer

Maternity sessions are a great way to celebrate one of the most special times in your life. These are portraits you want to frame and hang on your walls, share with others and pass down to your own children.

If you are unsure whether studio or and outdoor sessions is best for you, here’s are helpful pros and cons to help you choose!

Outdoor Maternity Session

Outdoor sessions are wonderful if you prefer the look of natural light and stunning sun filled portraits. There is a larger variety of scenery/locations to choose from, and if you have a toddler who is joining you for photos, there is more space for them to run around and do their own thing (this could be good or bad for some! 😆)

Cons, weather! Rain, humidity(frizzy hair!!), cold weather..etc are all unfavorable situations you may have to battle. This may cause you to reschedule multiple times, depending on time of year.

Studio Maternity

If you want to be pampered with hair and makeup and not have to worry about weather, have most of the focus of the session on you, studio maternity is for you! Although studio maternity can also accommodate family portraits, we like to make our mamas the center of attention! Our studio offers couture maternity gowns and hair and makeup to make mama look and feel her best!

Which ever you choose to do, outdoor or studio, it will be a memorable experience you will always cherish.

List of places to take family photos in tampa fl | tampa FL Maternity Photographer

Looking for a great place to take your family portraits? Tampa FL, St. Pete and Clearwater, offers so much variety that the possibilities are endless! Here’s a list of some of my favorite places for outdoor portrait sessions:

Beach

  1. Honeymoon Island State Park - If you are looking for a classic beach session that boosts cotton-candy skies, white sand & large rocks nestled in the water, this is your spot! This location tends to be very busy during the summer months, especially on weekends, so weekdays are always preferred to avoid the crowds.

2. Davis Island Yacht Club– Located in downtown Tampa, Davis Island Yacht Club is the perfect spot if you are looking to stay within Tampa, but still get beachy portaits. The best part about this location are the sailboat in the background!

3. Philippe Park– Philippe Park is located in Safety Harbor. It has a ton of variety, from oak trees to brick staircases, but it also has a small hidden beach!

4. Picnic Island Park

5. Edward Medard Conservation Park

6. Ft. Desoto Park

Parks

  1. Philippe Park– One of my favorite locations! It offers so much variety, from ancient oak trees to winding brick staircases. There is also a small hidden beach!

2. Lettuce Lake Park- This is a great location, especially if you are looking for an open place for you kids to run around! You will mostly get trees for scenery, but there are also a few boardwalks, and some water as well.

3. Edward Medard Conservation Park- This park has a well known area filled with stunning oak trees! It creates the most beautiful background for family, engagement and maternity portraits. There is also a grassy field and some water, if you are looking for some variety in your session.

4. Cunningham Park - Located in Starkey Ranch in Odessa. Beautiful trees, water & small boardwalk. This is a great choice is you are looking to stay close to home and live in the Lutz, Land o Lakes, Odessa area.

City/Urban Areas

  1. University of Tampa/Henry B. Plant Museum - A personal favorite! The museum architecture is so unique! It is a wonderful spot for formal attire with engagement portaits, and also casual wear for family portraits. There is a pathway lined with tons of palm trees, and as you walk closer to the river, you’ll be able to get a few photos with the downtown Tampa FL city buildings as a background.

2. Hyde Park Village– Such a cute area close to downtown Tampa. The streets of Hyde Park Village are lined with boutiques and cafes. It has a beautiful fountain in the center of the village & ivy covered brick walls. This spot is great for lifestyle sessions - Grab a coffee, popsicle or cupcake to make you session extra fun!

3. Ybor City - The ultimate urban portrait spot in Tampa (in my opinion!) Ybor boosts all kinds of Tampa history in its architecture. From the brick walls to iconic buildings, there is so much character here!

4. Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park

5. The Tampa Riverwalk

6. Armature Works- Located in the historic Tampa Heights neighborhood, Armature Works is a fairly new and very popular spot. The brick architecture and views of the Hillsborough River, make it a great spot for a more modern portrait session. It gets very busy here, so I highly recommend sessions during the weekdays to avoid the crowds

7. Sparkman Wharf- Modern waterfront location near the Amalie Arena and The Florida Aquarium.

These are just a few of my favorite locations and I am always exploring for more!
