Reappearing Act - St. Petersburg Portrait Photographer

Hi everyone! I have to apologize for the lack of posts this month. August had been a whirlwind and that's putting it mildly. Good, but jam packed! We started out the month with a bang and our first 'Tails of Summer' which brought in over $600 in cash and supplies for the Pet Pal Animal Shelter. That wraps me in big grins and warm fuzzies!! Shortly there after, we left on a week long, much needed, family vacation to Disney. My dad and niece joined us and we played all week long. I wasn't home two days and returned back to Orlando for the yearly Florida Professional Photographers Conference where two of my images won merits in print competition. This was my first year entering the state competition so this is thrilling for me! Michael and I have been taking all of our ideas and the education we receive from attending these events and turning them into amazing new things to come here at Tanya Sharkey Photography. We will be launching new things and tweaking current ones over the next 6 months. Really, my head is swelling, it's like a big balloon about to burst! So, I'm going to take a deep breathe and push forward because there's so much in store and I can't wait to introduce it all to you, our amazing clients! Thank you!


Prints that merited at Competition!

Tails of Summer Success - Pet Photography St. Petersburg, FL

Hooray for lots of sloppy wet kisses!! That's what I received a lot of at our First Annual Tails of Summer event earlier this month. By the end of the weekend, we had photographed 15 'fur kids' and raised over $600 in cash and supplies for Pet Pal Animal Shelter. For our first year, we are extremely happy with this result!! We even photographed Cosmo from Mail Dog. Thank you to everyone who came out in support of Pet Pal Animal Shelter, those of you who brought your 'fur kids' out, the whole team from Pet Pal, Pinky's Painted Cottage and my friends and family who helped me with the sessions! It was an absolutely amazing weekend for me both personally and professionally and something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm already looking forward to next time.
