Photography Client Reviews
“We had such a great experience with Athena!”
“She was very professional, caring, and understanding throughout the process. Also, being a mom herself made the experience way more relaxing. She helped calm the baby down and was patient when things didn’t go as planned with timing.”

Experience That Resonates & Quality That Speaks
Meet Your Tampa Photographer: Hey! I’m Athena
Nestled in the vibrant heart of South Tampa, FL, my dedication as a maternity, newborn, family & event photographer is to bring your cherished moments to life. With a keen eye for capturing beautiful and loving moments, my passion lies in capturing those fleeting instances of joy and connection.
Whether it's the serene bliss of a newborn photo-shoot at home or the spontaneous laughter of a family session at one of my preferred outdoor locations in South Tampa, each photograph is a testament to the artistry and heartfelt dedication that I bring to my craft.
As a mother of seven (soon to be eight) children, my love for newborn and family photography is deeply rooted in my own personal experience as a Mom. It brings me so much joy to be able to capture such precious moments of your babies, toddlers, children, teens (and families) because I know, all too well, how quickly they grow-up!
