Victoria + Robert Step Into The Limelight | Ybor City | Tampa, FL

Victoria and Robert were glowing in the heart of Ybor City, Tampa, just a day after their daughter’s first birthday. The two of them looked incredible together, his quiet elegance, her effortless beauty and the way they looked at each other made my heart stop for a second. Every glance between them was like its own little love story.

We made a little pit stop for ice cream, and it was one of those perfect, simple moments where everyone’s smiles just light up the frame. Their daughter, as stunning and full of charm as her parents, completely stole my heart, my eyes couldn’t help but follow her every move while still catching the magic of Victoria and Robert’s love. She added that extra sparkle to the day, but the story was still theirs.

The light, the smiles, the laughter, even the quiet sweetness of just being together, it all came together in a way that made me fall in love with photographing moments like this all over again. Ybor City was the perfect backdrop for a family full of love, laughter, and unforgettable magic.

Karen + Joe Step Into The Limelight | Tampa River Center | Tampa, FL

From the moment I met Karen and Joe, I could see just how perfectly they fit together—like two pieces of a puzzle that were always meant to find each other. Their engagement session photography in Tampa, FL at the beautiful Tampa River Center was filled with laughter, sweet stolen glances, and those quiet in-between moments that truly showcase their love.

Their love story is one for the books. Joe proposed to Karen in the most unforgettable way—right in the middle of a Tampa Bay Lightning game! When their faces popped up on the Kiss Cam, Karen expected nothing more than a fun, playful moment. Instead, Joe surprised her with the ultimate question, leaving her in complete shock and overwhelming joy. That kind of surprise proposal is the definition of romance, and it made their engagement session all the more special to capture.

As we walked along the Riverwalk and through the grounds of the Tampa River Center, I found myself constantly saying how much these two “fit like a puzzle.” Every hug, every smile, and every laugh flowed so naturally between them. Their chemistry made documenting this milestone effortless and beautiful.

For their session, I leaned into photojournalistic photography to capture authentic engagement session candids—moments where they weren’t posed, just living in the moment together. The backdrop of downtown Tampa added the perfect balance of modern city vibes with the serene beauty of the riverfront, making every frame timeless and full of energy.

Karen and Joe’s story is one that reminds me why I love being a Tampa, FL Photographer—capturing not just portraits, but real moments of connection that reflect a couple’s journey.
