Alivia’s Senior Portraits

{ Tampa Senior Photographer }

Are you seeing this correctly?  A senior?  YES!

I know you’re used to seeing mostly family photography on this blog sprinkled with some maternity here and there, but your eyes are not deceiving you.  I shot a high school senior session for the first time ever!

When Alivia’s dad first contacted me and asked me if I was a Tampa Senior Photographer, I said…”Well, I could be!”  Honestly the thought of shooting seniors never really crossed my mind.  I’m so focused on shooting families, that other genres don’t even come up.  But why?!  I  love trying new things and don’t want to pigeonhole myself.  Plus, shooting something new really reinsures my love for photography and gets my creative juices flowing.

When I spoke to Alivia, she said she was going for something fun on the beach.  Ding, ding, ding!  Those are my buzz words!  Fun – YES  Beach – Well, obviously (insert that funny gif here – if you know, then you know…)

We met at my favorite Honeymoon Island State Park.  Woah, was it crowded!  I guess Floridians are coming out of their homes now that people are getting vaccinated and wanting to enjoy the warmer weather.  So I found a more secluded spot for us to stretch our legs, run, dance and HAVE FUN!  I think we definitely captured the vibe she was going for.  This session was so refreshing.  It’s amazing how easy it is to direct a senior girl, rather than chase after children and hope they look my way to capture a shot.

So am I a Tampa Senior Photographer?  The answer is YES!  I am now opening my doors to more seniors.  I had so much fun that I need to do this again!
