Sand Pebble Resort Treasure Island Florida Family Kids Beach Portraits at Sunset

I love it when local Tampa Bay area families book us to photograph their family portrait sessions at one of our amazingly beautiful gulf beaches! This sweet family was able to schedule a mini getaway  for a couple of fun days staying at Sand Pebble Resort in Treasure Island Florida. By now, I know to keep active boys busy moving around and enjoying the sand and surf during our family portrait sessions!

Don Cesar Hotel One Year Beach Baby Portraits

My clients daughter turned One and she celebrated her big day with us with a fun beach portrait session at the Don Cesar Hotel in  Sr Pete Beach. Her parents were married at the Loews Don Cesar Hotel, so it was a great idea to continue making memories at the Pink Palace and I was honored to capture the day!

Treasure Island Florida Family Reunion Beach Portraits at Sunset

The Tampa Bay and Central Florida region experience an unusual cold front this summer, which unfortunately caused about 10 days of steady rain showers and storms. It also coincided with my two busiest weeks for portrait sessions this summer! Families visit our Florida gulf beaches in late July and early August for some nice beach time before back to school time for the kids.

My client Aloha Kelly  is a talented photographer in the St Louis area and hired us to photograph her family and her husband’s extended family who were vacationing in Treasure Island for the week. We rescheduled twice before we hit a fairly clear evening for their sunset beach portrait session. Third times the charm! I’m beyond thankful that we were able to capture these wonderful moments…while editing these photos this week their family experienced a terrible loss. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with her family at this time. Moments like this remind me of how much of an honor it is to capture images like these for our clients.

St Pete Beach Treasure Island Family Kids Photos at Sunset

My clients traveled from the Orlando area for an evening of sunset beach portraits in Treasure Island St Pete. Treasure Island and  surrounding central Florida was experiencing some rainy weather but we were able to photograph their session with nice overcast light and intense blue clouds for the strobist sunset shots. This session reminds me once again how much I love my nikon 85mm 1.8D lens: sharp eyes, smooth skin tones and beautiful out of focus backgrounds. In my opinion it is the perfect  versatile portrait lens and I use it far more than my 70-200mm as it allows an intimacy with my clients.

Sunset Vistas Family Beach Sunset Portraits in Pastels

We are in full swing with summer family beach portrait sessions in Treasure Island and St Pete Beach Florida. This family stayed at Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites , steps away from some of our favorite beach terrain in the area. We had perfect weather for this sunset session. I love the colors this family chose to wear: they don’t match each other exactly, but coordinate as a whole.

TradeWinds Island Grand Resort Family Portraits at Treasure Island Beach Florida

What I love about this recent family session are the attire colors selected by my clients who were vacationing at TradeWinds Island Resort in St Pete Beach, Florida. Their clothing selections for their family beach portrait session look great against the lovely crisp blue skies and white sand. The whites and creams, various shades of blue and the pop of magenta really work at the beach. Plus most everyone owns a pair of jeans and the little boys navy pants and shorts add another tone of blue.

TradeWinds Island Grand Resort St Pete Beach Senior Portrait Session

My client was vacationing with her family for a week at the Guy Harvey Outpost at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St Pete Beach FL and booked me to photograph her senior portraits. This section of TradeWinds Resort has been recently updated and offered some great interior courtyard spaces for photos.  We started with my client wearing a fun black and white stripe dress with great wedge heels. I love that she had her hair and makeup done for this session; it really makes a positive difference in the photos.

After changing into a simple white tee and adorable dark jeans, I photographer my client along the dunes on the north side of the Guy Harvey Outpost.

My client is a dancer and I think its adorable that she had 2015 on the bottom side of her tap shoes, in ankles crossed formation. Very cute idea and these couches by the outdoor fire pits at Guy Harvey Outpost were an ideal location for these shots.

This evenings sunset was subtle since the skies were relatively clear night, but produced a nice soft color band in the sky.

Pass A Grille Beach Senior Portrait Photos

For this Senior Portrait session in Pass A Grille St Pete Beach FL, my senior was visiting her grandparents and decided to have her portraits taken while on vacation. Their home is located in the middle of Pass A Grille, and we were able to photograph some images in front of their home garden. The floral black dress looks perfect with the garden foliage. After an outfit change, we walked two houses down to the private access path to the beach. This path had amazing dunes which we utilized as a backdrop for some of the images. On the drive over from St Petersburg, I was very happy to see huge white fluffy clouds and blue sky to the south. As the evening progressed, a storm system appeared on the gulf, which gave us some dramatic skies before sunset and soft filtered daylight.

Once again, my client’s attire totally compliments the beach on this particular day. I love the subtle blues of the water and sky next to the green dunes.

My client had her friend join her on vacation, and I was able to photograph the girls together throughout the session. I’ve noticed the trend in Senior Portrait photography is to include these “best friends” images. I thought the girls looked adorable in their coordinating blue chambray and denim dresses.
