Award Winning Family Photographer | Babies to Seniors & Underwater Space Coast - Brevard County FL & Amelia Island FL Melbourne FL Underwater Kids | Award-Winning Child Photographer
Underwater sessions aren't only for capturing pregnancy... underwater sessions are also a super fun way to capture your kiddos! Underwater sessions with kids and teens incorporate a lot of play with a little direction or suggestions when needed. Kids usually come up with great ideas for what they want to do in the water and I fill in where needed with direction to get a fun photograph you'll want to hang on your wall. With kids and teens, they are typically going to wear swimsuits, preferably ones without wording, big logos, or pictures unless that's part of the look you're wanting. They can also wear goggles (which I generally don't recommend for adults) as long as the googles are clear and not tinted so we can see their eyes. A full mask is often better for those who tend to get water up their nose without a mask or nose plugs. And if they're up for it, we can do some without masks/goggles with their eyes closed. I give them tips on how to keep their faces relaxed and how to prevent water from going up their noses too! These teen/tween brothers did great and one of their images even won a Recognition of Merit in the Siblings category of the NAPCP International Image Competition! That image (above) was taken while they both did somersaults underwater, a favorite thing for kids to do! Check out some of the favorites from their underwater session.

Cocoa Beach Florida Babymoon | Underwater Maternity PhotographyIt's no secret that Florida is a popular vacation spot. Whether it's the theme parks, the beaches, or just the warm weather, there's variety for anyone looking to get away. Here on the Space Coast, there's plenty to do for those with a taste for adventure, an interest in space, golf enthusiasts, and of course, beach lovers. So whether your idea of a vacation is to explore someplace new or find a spot to unwind and relax, this is a great place to be. And if you happen to come here for your Babymoon, like this adorable couple featured here, you can even schedule an underwater maternity session and have some unique, artistic photos to capture your pregnancy. It can be just you or bring your partner and any other kiddos along with you! These two drove down from Nashville, TN for their Babymoon in Melbourne Beach and made time for an underwater session to capture this special time, awaiting the arrival of their first baby, a sweet baby girl. We typically use two gowns to give more variety, plus different fabrics will react differently in the water so we can achieve different looks depending on the gowns chosen. It also ended up being a cloudy day, but as you can see, with underwater photos, we can even do them if it's raining (as long as there isn't thunder)! Mom-to-be channeled her inner mermaid and rocked her session.
Thank you Mr. A and Mrs. K for trusting me to capture these for you! <3 Kim Owner/Photographer-Artist Kimberly Tank Art & Photography Are you ready to try something fun and creative?

Rockledge FL Underwater Photographer | Underwater Maternity PhotosI recently shared an underwater maternity session that showcased the beautiful light and bold colors we get underwater when the sun is on the pool. This session shows the soft, even light we get when it's cloudy or the pool is covered in shade. Some people find it difficult to stay fully underwater or aren't as comfortable with it, but that's ok! We can still get gorgeous images and I will coach you to help you get fully under for at least a few images if you want. Some of my favorite images don't require your face to be under! And you can also see how much I love bubbles and the magic they add to photos. Which do you prefer, calm water or bubbles? Sometimes I have trouble choosing... I love both for different reasons!

Underwater Maternity Photographer | Space Coast FLBeing pregnant in the hot Florida summer can become a bit uncomfortable. And let's be honest, the third trimester can get uncomfortable anyway. But your maternity session doesn't need to be hot and miserable! Underwater maternity sessions can not only help you beat the heat, but floating in the water is a nice relief for your body too. You should be comfortable in the water but you don't need to be an expert swimmer to do a session in the pool. You don't even need to have your own pool! The pool I use is only 5 feet at it's deepest so you don't have to worry about super deep water. If you have your own pool, and it's big enough, we can use your pool if you'd like. Safety is my top priority so there will also be a lifeguard at the session. I have a client wardrobe full of a variety of maternity gowns for you to choose from, all you need to do is have neutral undergarments (skin tones typically work best). Not only will you have beautiful photographs to document this time in your life, you'll have something unique and artistic to showcase the beauty of your pregnancy. This session showcases the beautiful bold colors and light we get when the sun is on the pool. I love adding bubble for an extra fun effect!

Space Coast Senior Photographer | Historic Cocoa Village Senior PortraitsI met Miss J when I photographed the Titusville High School Cheerleading team in the fall. Then her mom contacted me for senior portraits. We scheduled them for spring and we ended up having gorgeous flowers to work with for her Downtown Historic Cocoa Village senior session. One of the things I love about this location is the variety we can get as we walk to different spots, especially the wall of jasmine flowers blooming in spring! We had a breeze coming off the river which was too much to get photos with the water but was perfect further away from the water where we took the photos. And although fall is often the time to schedule senior photo sessions, it's never too late! Fall can be so busy so if spring works better for you, let's do them when it works for you! Plus the weather isn't as hot, so another bonus!
Thank you Miss J for allowing me to capture your senior photos! Good luck at Alabama! You're going to make a great veterinarian! <3 Kim Owner/Photographer-Artist Kimberly Tank Art & Photography Are you ready to try something fun and creative?

Cocoa Beach Family Photographer | Sunrise Beach Baby Milestone SessionIf you know me personally, you know that I am not an early morning person if I can help it (the joys of being a homeschool parent and running my own business). So I don't do many sunrise sessions, in fact, this may have been my third sunrise session in nine years of being a professional photographer. But when you have a baby and want a beach session, sunrise just works better than sunset most of the time. And it always ends up being worth it! I may not love getting up early, but I do love the gorgeous Atlantic sunrises! Having just a little bit of clouds in the east will give us some gorgeous sunrise colors. Even their outfits went so well with the colors of the morning! And what made this session even more special... this is the couple I previously photographed for their adoption portfolio, and while they were waiting for a match, they ended up pregnant with this little miracle baby! It was such an honor to photograph them again with their sweet little girl.
Thank you Y Family for trusting me to document this milestone in this chapter of your life! <3 Kim Owner/Artist-Photographer Kimberly Tank Art & Photography Do you want to capture your baby's milestones?

Outdoor Newborn Photography - Twins! | Space Coast FL Lifestyle Newborn PhotographerOne of the best things for my business that came from this pandemic was that I discovered how much I LOVE outdoor newborn sessions! There's no need for Mom and Dad to make sure the house (or a room in the house) is clean for photos, no need to make sure there's enough natural light to work with, and plenty of space for older siblings to run off some steam if they need to. And living on the Space Coast in Central Florida, the temperature outside is warm enough to do these most of the year. For yards/locations with big shade trees, we can even be a little more flexible with time and not need to do them first thing in the morning or in the last couple hours of the day like most outdoor sessions. We don't even have to do these in your yard if there's an outdoor location nearby you'd love to use. I don't do a lot of sunrise sessions, but a sunrise session at the beach would definitely be worth it! I loved so many other things about this session, like the fact that this was the first set of twins I've been honored to photograph AND these identical twin boys have identical twin big sisters! It was so much fun to capture the sweet and unique connection of both sets of twin as well as the love and connections in the whole family. I also loved that the family included a special family quilt in their session and were able to have fun during their session! We always get the BEST images when families relax and just have fun together, even at a newborn session! Here are some of my favorites that show you the beauty and fun we can capture in an outdoor newborn session.
