Senior Portraits
Baby, Bar Mitzvah, Senior, Headshot, Wedding, Family. Those are the times in your life when you need a good photographer. Senior portraits capture your child at a turning point in their lives… that last bit of time before they truly enter adulthood. Here in Tampa we are blessed to be able to shoot on location year-round and so we spend about 2 hours with your Senior capturing the essence of who they are at this critical stage of life.
Family Portraits
There is nothing that makes me smile more often than the portrait of my two daughters I have hanging in my house. I look at it several times a day and it always makes me feel good. Too many people are starting to believe that a picture is just something you see on Facebook or on your phone. Great family portraiture that fills a wall space in your home brings joy every day. It’s funny, but when ever I produce a big, beautiful family portrait for someone’s home, they always come back for a new one a few years later. Once you see the joy that a big family portrait brings you every day, you never want to be without it. Don’t put it off… the kids are growing fast. Schedule a session today.
Headshots
Business headshots are different than portraits. A good professional headshot is a must in today’s world of online interaction. Your headshot is your professional face to the world so make sure it’s a good one. Visit the professional headshot page here.
