Carrie
Founder and Lead Photographer
In 2007, my husband, David, and I left the frozen tundra of Chicago (he's a Florida boy) to start a warmer life in Tampa. I founded Carrie Wildes Photography in 2008 out of my love for weddings and travel. I actually have my Bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, which took me to the corporate world where I had the opportunity to travel the world and see so many different people and cultures.
I fell in love with photojournalism and capturing the beauty and essence of people. That's when I also decided to get off the corporate ladder and build one of my own. I am so fortunate to have found the amazing & talented people on our team. We are each gifted in different ways but cohesive in style and our love for people and photography.
I love learning and growing and am a Craftsman (Cr.) and Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through Professional Photographers of America. In 2014 David and I adopted 2 sweet baby girls only 4 months apart and my personal passion for adoption was also born! Besides my family, I LOVE boating and being on the water, HGTV, traveling, and randomly pressure washing.

Linda
Associate Photographer & Studio Manager
Linda shoots our corporate events and 2nd shoots weddings with Carrie; she also helps manage our client communication and followup. Being quick and responsive is one of our main priorities.
After a lifelong passion for taking pictures, Linda started photography classes in 2004 and began working, and learning with other talented photographers. She is always observing, anticipating, and capturing natural unscripted moments. Linda grew up in Minnesota and Oregon and currently lives a stones throw from the beach in Bradenton. She loves traveling, live music, and dogs and horses.
You can see her lead photography work here, and her 2nd shooting work here.
Miriam
Social Media Director
Miriam (or Mir, as everyone calls her:-) posts all our pretty work on social media!
As long as she can remember she was always the “photographer” in her family. It has been a passion of hers since getting her very first camera in 1996. Her degree is in marketing, which she actually used for 10 years and now puts into practice for our team.
Mir was born in Mexico, and her husband is Portuguese. She has lived in Spain, Portugal, England, Mexico and the US. She has a sweet boy and a girl who keep her on her toes! Mir is a dog lover, Reiki Master, has the best and loudest laugh!
