Hey there, nice to meet you!

Hello! I'm Jessica McKnight, a passionate photographer based in St.Petersburg, Florida

Photography isn't just what I do; it's who I am. From the moment I picked up my first camera in sixth grade, I was hooked. Over the years, that childhood fascination has blossomed into a career that blends artistry, connection, and storytelling. As an award-winning Tampa Bay portrait photographer, I've had the honor of being recognized with the Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best Award and a prestigious WPPI ICON Award, affirming my commitment to excellence in every frame.

But it's not just about accolades, it's about you. I believe in creating an atmosphere where families, couples, and individuals can be free, unguarded, and spontaneous. It's in these moments that I capture the essence of your unique story. Whether it's a luxury family portrait in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or Tampa, a high-end commercial branding shoot, or a fashion editorial for influencers, models, and luxury brands, I approach every session with the same dedication to quality and authenticity.

Beyond the lens, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge. As an international photography educator and retreat leader, I teach photographers worldwide how to connect with their subjects and craft compelling visual narratives. This global perspective enriches my work, allowing me to bring fresh, innovative ideas to every session.

At Jessica McKnight Photography, I take great pride in delivering timeless, heirloom-quality portraits, custom wall art, and luxury keepsake albums that you'll cherish for years to come. Whether you're looking to commemorate a milestone, elevate your brand photography, or simply capture a moment in time, I'm here to make that experience unforgettable in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, and beyond.
