Beach Shoots

On the evening of your shoot, the photographer will meet you by the playground area at Manatee Public Beach. On rainy days we will be monitoring weather satellites throughout the day. If it's necessary to cancel the session, we will try to give you as much notice as possible. If you don't hear from us, still head to the beach: it might be rainy where you are, but bright and sunny at the beach!

If you'd like to change outfits or pose in your bathing suit, please layer your clothing: there won't be time to go to the bathroom to change. Bring a towel, hairbrush, hairspray, mirror, sunglasses, Frisbee, football, volleyball, skim board: any of your favorite beach items. Some of your poses may be in or near the water; please let the photographer know if you don't want to get wet.

City Shoots

On the day of your shoot in downtown Bradenton, we recommend you park on Barcarrota Boulevard, which runs between the Bradenton Municipal Auditorium and the marina. The photographer will meet you there. Please wear only 1 outfit, as changing rooms will not be available. On rainy days we will be monitoring weather satellites throughout the day. If it's necessary to cancel the session, we will try to give you as much notice as possible. If you don't hear from us, still head downtown; it might be rainy where you are, but bright and sunny downtown!

We have two types of city shoots to choose from; you'll need to pick the "theme" that best suits you:

CityScape: you'll be photographed near downtown buildings and structures (Ex. The courthouse steps)

Riverfront: you'll be photographed near the waterfront and on the grounds of the Bradenton Auditorium (Ex. The boats and waterway will be the background of your portrait)

On-Location Shoots

Arrangements for on-location shoots will be discussed with the photographer directly.
