Family Pictures - Tampa, FL

Try Sadies Photography at International Mall you can buy a cd with one of their packages. You can choose from standard backgrounds but also great options for super cute photos of your kids.

I also use Teres Wilds. She does location shoots which could be your home or any where in the area. She is great. You can look at my photo shoot on her website to get an idea. We just met her at a local park near our house with no particular plan and I think they came out great. There was no posing for the kids. She does charge by the sheet or has pacakages but for an independant photographer she is cheap for what she provides to you. She spent 3 hours at the park with me and my kids!

www.teresawildsphotography.com go to portraits on bottom right hand corner. Then a pop up will appear in the middle of the screen. Type in Nickel just like you see here with a capital N and lowercase ickel. Play slide show there a a ton of pictures from the session a really cute one at the end. Remember this was all done with out posing. I got them to hug because my son did something to his sister so I made them hug and make up which got the last shot :). We got the shots on the bridge by telling my daughter that there was a grumpy old troll under the bridge and/or we saw swiper. Just gotta be creative :)

Good luck!!

We went her to (actually, she will travel to YOU) and I love her style of photography.

Hi I have a lot of experience with pictures! We do them every 3-6 months in our house. Picture people quality is terrible. I do NOT recommend them. I LOVE Studio One in Brandon Mall. They are the best. You can buy the CD with the rights so you can print any picture you want. They do a ton of poses and really listen to you. They are a nice simple look....classic design. Nothing cheesy like dumb props or "beachy" scenes. Right now they have a special too. It might end in August. My family pictures just came back and excellent quality. I am taking my girls this Sat. Good luck!! M.

All I can recommend is do not go to JC Penney. I can't even tell you how ridiculous the pictures we took came out... bra straps showing (i didn't know this)... a huge shiny spot on my hubbys head, and all the lighting was just terrible. Just a word of caution.

Hi L.,
Try Portrait Innovations. If you google it they'll give you a location by you. The closest one to me is off of Gulf-to-bay in Clw. we are making an apt for Sept. They give your pictures to you before you leave, let you change outfits, no sitting fees and you're not obligated to that whole "oh I have to delete that picture if you don't want it deal". I hated that w/sears, Jcpenney and Walmart. They all do that. Picture People gives pics. right away but they are very expensive. If that doesn't matter to you they do take gorgeous pictures. I had a coupon several years ago and used them for a bare minimum pkg. and was very happy w/the photo. Just ticked I couldn't afford more sheets!

There is a mom at my son's school who has a photography business. She takes beautiful pictures. Another friend of mine used her for family portraits this summer and the pictures were beautiful. She came out to the beach where they were vacationing and did the shots. Her prices are reasonable also.
Her name is Penny Hawkins and her website is picturesbypenny.com
