St Pete Beach Treasure Island FL Sunset Family Portraits
My clients were vacationing at the Sirata Beach Resort in early August and contacted me to photograph a sunset family portrait. The Sirata Beach Resort and Conference Center is located in St. Pete Beach, the Sunset Capital of Florida.

My clients planned their week vacation to Sarasota Bradenton’s Longboat Key Florida during July and contacted me after seeing my previous beach family portrait session on the Kristen Sloan Photography Blog.

Downtown Saint Petersburg FL Senior Portrait Session
Sometimes an overcast and slightly rainy summer afternoon allows for a great Senior portrait photo session. I met Chloe’s dad, Lee last summer while visiting Scott in Calgary, Canada. Lee joined Scott on some outdoor adventures in Banff and Kananaskis, and I remember hearing about one memorable snowy hike to Ribbon Falls which involved a smart decision to turn around at the chains. A…

Sometimes a trip to the beach is a required break from wedding editing. And photographing a model is a great time to create new images and experiment. The sunny F16 rules applies to shooting in bright daylight, and as photographers we need to have some serious flash power to match or overpower daylight. I decided to bring my Visatec monolight to Fort DeSoto Beach…

Couples pregnancy portrait sessions are becoming popular with my clients, and this pregnancy portrait session showcases this jubilant time in an expecting couples life. Photographed on location the Thomas Center in Gainesville, Florida, we returned to the location where this couple were married. A very sweet, sentimental gesture and the Thomas Center’s grounds are very pretty with mature oaks and spanish moss. Raindrops did not slow…
Vinoy Park Beach and Coffee Pot Boulevard Saint Petersburg Florida Portraits
I photographed portraits of Ann in along scenic Coffee Pot Blvd in Saint Petersburg Florida. Coffe Pot Bayou provides a beautiful backdrop, and I especially love the white stucco spanish style park structures which featured bougainvillea in bloom. As the afternoon light progressed, we sought the golden hour light on the Vinoy Park beach. During this shoot I mixed available light with fill light…
