Long ago when I was a USF (Tampa campus) student I came to meet someone who lived in Gulfport.  I remember going to visit her from the North Tampa area seemed like a tremendous journey to a different land.  For the life of me I would not be able to remember her neighborhood now, but every now and then when I still, infrequently, visit Gulfport small flashes of those past days leave a trace image in my mind.  I can say for sure though that I had never been to Bo-Tiki before last week as the unique shop makes a strong impression on visitors.

Denise & Maddy (proprietor of Bo-Tiki) are very excited about their merchandise - SETUP: f/5.6 ISO 200 1/100th STROBIST: SB-800 @ 1/4 power to frame right SB-600 @ 1/4 power to frame back leftThe ladies working inside Bo-Tiki were very friendly and quick to laugh.  I asked the owner, Maddy (on right), to hold up her current favorite item in her boutique to help her feel more at ease about her portrait being taken.  I think it worked.  Whenever possible I like to get clients to hold one of their products for a commercial photography type portrait.

Bo-Tiki offers indoor & outdoor shopping in Gulfport Florida - St. Petersburg commercial photography - 7-bracket HDRI think I will return to Bo-Tiki later this year as a customer looking for a Christmas present for my mom.  I might pick up one of those old-time Gulfport signs for myself as well!
