Welcome to the blog of Simply Blue Studios, a Tampa based wedding photojournalist

Welcome to my site

Hi there! I’m Carrie Pratt, a documentary-style wedding photojournalist and portrait photographer based in Tampa Bay, Florida. This is my blog where I like to like to share some of the special moments I've created through photographs. These images honor weddings and portraits, as well as other stories I've told with my camera. I love living my life with my camera and sharing my vision of the world. Through this blog, occasionally I like to share images from my personal adventures with my husband, Hank, my dog Kaya, or my cat, Frankie. You can read more about me on my biography page, or send me an email me with any questions through my contact page. Please feel free to put me in your reader, or check out my facebook page, where I interact often with clients and fans.

One of my favorite times of year is the fall. For me, besides apple cider and pretending we have a fall in Florida, it's also a time where I come together with many of my past clients to update their portraits for the holidays. Please check out some of my favorite images from last year's sessions and then read on for more details about this year's sessions.
A few months ago my good friend Christine, called me to help her out with covering an assignment covering Derek Jeter for the New York Daily News since she'd be out-of-town on the second day of the assignment. I was happy to help out. I didn't know it would be one of my favorite funny stories from the year.
