Joe is also a lead photographer. His ability to seek out the candidate moments is remarkable, so at your session, you can expect him to take photos without even knowing it. As a former Military Veteran, Joe also provides our sessions with a safe space to work in public. Many times sessions are single moms or only moms and daughters and it's essential that we all stay and feel safe.

Associate Photographer

Tylea Vassalle 

Our journey in photography started in Ohio on October 15th, 2005, our wedding date, as we were gifted a camera for one of our wedding presents. I Mindy began to use the camera a lot. At that time, Joe and I had our first child together, and between the two of us, we had three other children. I spent time taking photos of the kids at the park and at baseball games.

Then before you knew it, the two older kids were seniors in high school, and we started taking Senior photos for them and their friends. And that's how Vassalle's Photography was officially born and now Seaside Portraits!

It started with a story

How SeaSide was born?

Even on rainy and cloudy days, we can still create stunning images thanks to Photoshop and Lightroom, but you will never find the most beautiful beach backgrounds or more sunny days like you will here in Florida. 

Moving to Florida allowed us to do photography full-time all year. With beautiful beaches, sunsets, and year-round weather that's not gloomy, we can photograph beautiful images that allow others who love Florida to, and to bring the beach home!  

In 2012 we went on a family vacation to Florida and absolutely loved it! We loved it so much that we packed a moving truck to the ceiling and a year later moved our family to Florida.

Yes? let’s work together!

"My daughter recently had her senior portrait pictures taken. We truly loved our experience, and the pictures all turned out amazing!! My daughter never smiles in photos, and I don't know how Mindy did it, but she got so many of her smiling, and we couldn't stop looking at them!"  

We truly loved our experience
