Longboat Key Florida High School Beach Senior Portraits at Sunset

Posted on September 6, 2015

Summer is a popular time for me to be photographing High School senior portraits sessions, especially at the beach. I love these sessions because it is fun to focus on one person and get creative with the environment, the attire and lighting. My client and her family were vacationing in Longboat Key Florida at Beach Place and hired me to photograph her portraits. Longboat Key offers quiet beaches and we had a little bit of fun photographing in the dunes, sea oates and palm trees at Beach Place. My clients outfits worked well with the beach surrounding and we had fun selecting which outfit to wear at which times of the evening. The sunset was beautiful that night; always an added bonus!

St Pete Beach Summer Family Sunset Portraits at Treasure Island

Posted on August 31, 2015

I have noticed that many evenings, my clients attire will compliment the colors of the sunset. For this family beach portrait session in Treasure Island St Pete Beach, the sunset colors were soft and subtle. I love how my clients clothing choice of soft pale peach, light grays and navy feel modern blends well with the natural beach environment at sunset. The kids had a great time playing at the beach….

Treasure Island Florida Family Reunion Beach Portraits at Sunset

Posted on August 28, 2015

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

Posted on August 23, 2015

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 Beachfront Suites Treasure Island Family Portrait Photos

Posted on August 19, 2015

Many of my clients stay at Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites in Treasure Island Florida and the members of this extended family selected Sunset Vistas for their Treasure Island vacation. The location could not be closer to some of our favorite sand dunes and natural wide beach terrain in Treasure Island St Pete Beach. This section of beach also offers a great position for viewing and photographing the sunset year round. After some rainy and overcast weather, the sunset on this particular evening was amazing; these photos speak for themselves!

Summer Sunsets in Treasure Island Florida

Posted on July 31, 2015

My clients were visiting from Norway and Staying in Indian Rocks Beach. Luckily I was able to schedule their portrait session during the busy July Holidays. This evening started out overcast, but we were pleasantly surprised with the amazingly colorful sunset! I have included a behind the scenes look at how we light our sunset shots with a boom arm light stand and two SaberStrip flash modifiers, each with a Nikon SB 800 inside. You can also see why we love Treasure Island Beach… great dunes, natural grasses and a nice positioning to view and photograph the sunset.

Longboat Key Family Reunion Sunset Portrait Session at Veranda Beach Club

Posted on July 19, 2015

My clients, along with their four married children and grandchildren were vacationing in Longboat Key, FL this summer at Veranda Beach Club and hired us to photograph their family during their week at the beach. While we are based in St Petersburg FL, we photograph portraits and weddings in Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island and Sarasota. I find the beaches in this area are much quieter and almost feel private.
