Hi, I’m Tabitha Baldwin, owner of Jax Mini Sessions Studio in Jacksonville, Florida! As a photographer and creative, I opened this studio to give fellow photographers and content creators a beautiful, versatile space to capture stunning images. After years of working as a wedding photographer, I transitioned to studio photography to better serve my local community and foster a space where creativity can thrive.
Jax Mini Sessions Studio isn’t just a rental studio—it’s a home for local photographers to collaborate, grow, and produce amazing work. I wanted to create a space that felt like it belonged to all of us, a blank canvas where each photographer can bring their unique vision to life.
I’m also a Jacksonville native, wife, and mom to three amazing kids and two doodle dogs! I love spending time at the beach, enjoying coffee, and watching documentaries. My heart is in this city, and I’m passionate about providing a space where our local photography community can come together and thrive.
Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to see the incredible moments you’ll capture at Jax Mini Sessions Studio.
