TAMPA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT LET YOUR FAMILY'S LOVE SHINE
For laid-back families who want beautiful, timeless Tampa family photos that feel more like an adventure than a boring photoshoot.
AUTHENTIC / RELAXING / STUNNING
THIS IS HOW WE DEFINE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
No stress. No stiff posing. Just real connection and images that show how in love your family is.
Your family is what matters most, and you have a story to share.
You've been meaning to take those family portraits for so long, but you haven't done it yet. You're worried your kids won't cooperate and your husband hates posing in front of the camera.
We've been there, and we're here to change that. Our style of photography is laid back and authentic. Capturing your family for who you truly are. So embrace each other. Get ready to laugh (a lot!). Let's celebrate your amazing family.
the APPROACH
WHERE EXCELLENCE COMES STANDARD
We want your family session to be a true representation of who you really are, so we'll customize your session just for you. We'll assist as much as you'd like, from location assistance to clothing choices. We have some truly beautiful location around the Tampa area!
Tyler will be your lead photographer, and Mariah usually assists to make sure you all look great!
We offer sessions from fifteen minutes to over an hour depending on what works best for you.
We'll communicate a lot before your session, through questionnaires, emails, texts, phone calls, etc. since we want to get every detail perfect for your Tampa family session.
We use a mix of formal posing to get those standard "look at the camera & smile" shots that everyone wants, plus candid prompts to get some variation & natural reactions.
After your photography session, you'll receive your individually retouched & professionally edited photographs in an online gallery, perfect to share with friends & family. We also offer beautiful albums & prints as well.

WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH US
Hi, there! We're Mariah & Tyler Jacobs, your photographer duo, and we're genuinely excited for your Tampa wedding!
We bring calm and a real connection to every wedding we photograph. From the first phone call to the final gallery, we guide the process, talk through the details, and make sure your photos reflect how your day felt, not just how it looked.
We’ll help with the little things (like fixing a veil or pinning a boutonniere), the big stuff (like family photos that don’t feel like chaos), and everything in between. We’re there to support you, not distract.
Your wedding day is too important to leave to chance. That’s why we plan it out with you, check in often, and walk you through everything, so when the day comes, you can relax and enjoy it.
This might be your once-in-a-lifetime moment, but it’s not ours. We’ve photographed a lot of “I dos,” and we’ve been the couple in front of the camera, too, so we get it, and we’ve got you.
Also, we love food. Like, a lot. So yes, we are excited to eat your wedding cake.
the INVESTMENT
Our collections start at 300, however our average client investment is around 500.
À la carte options such as albums & prints can be added to any collection.
During our initial phone call, we'll discuss all of our collections to see which one fits best since every family's needs are unique.
