About Me

My Photo
Tina Bass
I'm a Tampa, FL based photographer who captures images of people in love. The way I photograph is the way I see life. I never have a list of shots I need to take-it seems to muddle my brain. Instead, I seek inspiration from subjects. I focus on the person and I try to tell their story. I love meeting people in love and documenting these moments for them. I love all things vintage and that reflects my art. I have been told that my photos are amazing and romantic, but it's really not me. I'm only as amazing as my subjects. I feel so fortunate to do what I love. This blog is a documentation of my time in this world. It is about the weddings I see and the smiles I capture. It is also about my daily musings as photographer and how I see the world.

Face:Book

Ah, I don't know why I never mentioned this before, but I have a facebook page. Here is the link:

Become a friend, leave a few messages, have fun looking at my images :)

Oh, and I wanted to post an image from one of my favorite websites to go to on sundays. It's post secret and I love reading all of the secrets sent in from strangers. This one postcard reminds me of my own journey I am going on right now. I went from doing something so different from photography, but I ended up in this crazy and fun business. I can't wait to see what else happens in the future :)

p.s. I know I am totally lame for posting the link the way it is, but besides knowing how to work photoshop-I am a total noob when it comes to technology. I will try to find a better way to link :)

Love: and other Disasters

Everyone who reads my blog knows all about my cute lil' dog Pebbles (Miss. Pebby, if your crazy.) She thinks she is above any law and that her looks will get her by. Well, she really outdid it this time. After having a little dinner party on saturday, the hubs and I walked into our bathroom and discovered this:

Here is another angle-notice her head in the background:

She def. knew she was in trouble and would not budge off the bed when I was calling her name.

But, when can you do? I love her :)


On a brighter note, this is my attempt at posting a blog after saying I would post one everyday-I have so failed at that goal. So, I may try posting every other day-hopefully this sticks!

Oh, and after my session on saturday, I come home to find this:

A just because gift from my hubby. He's totally the best since chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite. I love him too :)

Engaging: Jennifer and Roberto

Last saturday I had a fantastic shoot with Jennifer and Roberto. What a blast! We headed down to Safety Harbor for the shoot and this little gem of a location is amazing. It seems like Ybor and clearwater beach are the preferred locations for people to shoot their engagements, but downtown Safety Harbor offers best of both worlds.

Jennifer and Roberto are one of the first clients I ever booked. They had faith in me even before I really got everything going. Jennifer is probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met. You don't always get clients who ask how your business is going and help brainstorm ways to get my name out there! Roberto also works at the same place my mom does-what a small world it really is. I hope they had fun on this shoot-I know I did. We had to work with the hard sun, but I think the pictures came out amazing. And poor Jennifer had to pose in the wind and coldness, but her dress was so cute. At least she had Roberto to keep her warm :) When I got home I was itching to edit right away. At every red light on my way home, I was checking out the images on my camera. I think I said "that's amazing" to them a little too many times! ha. Oh, and they are totally the best because they watch 30 Rock.

Here are some of the ones I ::heart:: from the shoot:
