Family Session at Davis Island

Davis Island Beach Family Session

I had the pleasure of meeting the Stannard family at Davis Island Beach for a family photo session.


Mark + Shannon recently relocated to Florida with their children, Matthew, Maddie, and Mason. They wanted some classic beach vibe photos and Davis Island did not disappoint! Not to mention... Shannon absolutely crushed their outfit coordination.


This location was pretty dang busy that evening so finding a good spot was a little tricky. We did manage to find a nice corner where we could get some fun shots of their crew. When locations are extra busy, it's nice when you can find a small spot and do your own thing. That's one of the things I love about the treatment I provide my clients, even if an area is busy, we'll find a great spot and you will still love your images! The area might be packed, but that's okay, your photos will still be amazing.

As our photo session was about to wrap up, we lucked into the best spot. We noticed over a hill that there were a cluster of rocks that overlooked Tampa Bay. We decided to embrace our inner adventurers and ventured out onto the rocks!

That unexpected end to our session turned out to be our favorite part. That's one of the things I love about family photos. I'm aware that they can be a lot of work to plan for. They take time, energy, and an investment to make it happen. But you end up with some beautiful photos of your family and some fun memories you made along the way.

This little beach in Tampa was the perfect location for this new-to-Florida family.
