I had the honor of shooting Aaron and Robert’s wedding at a beautiful, historic church in Homeland, FL back in September. Here are some photos!

Such a beautiful day for a wedding!

Tonight I was revisiting some old photos and came across a shoot I did with my good friend Jose. The story starts back in 2008 when I fell in love with a rock band called “Hey Mercedes” and, in particular, a song of theirs called “It’s Been A Blast”. Not only that, but I had started my photography company just 5 months before and was very excited to start creating powerful portraits. I really wanted to create an image that conveyed my interpretation of the lyrics to my new favorite song. Jose and I headed out to Cypress Point Park in Tampa, just between I-275 and Tampa International. We did some scouting and started experimenting with lighting & poses…

Jose is a phenomenal dancer

We took picture after picture, as we would patiently wait for a plane to fly over in the right area for the shot we wanted.

Finally, after at least 6 plane passes, we got the shot. The plane was in the perfect position. This…is the resulting image! If you’re not already listening to the song or checking out the lyrics…make sure you do so! >> Song >> Lyrics

I was featured in the Arts section of Tampa Bay Pulse Magazine’s March issue! If you weren’t able to get your hands on a hard copy, the virtual magazine can be found here. Visit pages 52 & 53 to read about Mike Ossola Photography!

It started back in February when I was approached by Hugo Aviles, editor of Pulse Magazine and Alfonso Johnson, the founder of MuzikGem.com with the purpose of coming together and creating some images for the March issue of Pulse Magazine that would display their recent partnership. Here’s what we created! These images can be found in the magazine as well.

Family Portrait at Madeira Beach

Indiana residents Steve & Laurelle contacted me last month about doing a family portrait during their annual Florida vacation. I was so excited about it…not only because beach shoots are always fun, but because they were my first ever out-of-state clients. Awesome! They brought along their adorable 7-month-old son Westley who was, of course, a blast to take photos of. Check out the images we captured!

Haha love the shades!

Little Westley started crying so we all took a break. I love this shot with his hands on his head like “MAN I needed some apple juice” lol

…and a kiss from mom Now he’s good to go!

Look at those eyes!

Here’s a “behind the scenes” shot they were so kind to send to me…

…and the result!
