Reviews of Thomas Bruce Studio (Photo Studio)

Kristin McKee

Thomas Bruce Studio is the best of the best! Carol and Becky are wonderful to work with and they always go above and beyond. They have been shooting my family for years - from pictures of my husband and me, to maternity pictures and now pictures of my newborn son - they never cease to amaze me! They are worth every penny!

I've known Bruce and Carol for years and they're wonderful people. The day i came in for my pregnancy portrait, I'll never forget. I was soooo big and so over flowing with hormone induced emotions. Being naturally body conscious, the thought of revealing that big belly for the world seemed overwhelming. Bruce, being the sweet warm husband, father and grandfather he is, quietly reassured me that I wouldn't be asked to make myself uncomfortable or vulnerable. Then Carol took over and performed her artistry. Even during the shoot, she made me feel beautiful. I still look back and remember that I've never felt as beautiful and powerful as I did that day. Once I saw the end result. WOW! Thomas Bruce Studios and Carol are true artists and I'm so pleased that now my precious daughter is a part of the family as she grows. I'm so grateful for your beautiful talents and skills.

Professional, and truly know our family. We have been going there for 8 years!

The staff at Thomas Bruce are so wonderful, and talented! My daughter's senior portraits are beautiful - it's one thing to take a picture that is technically perfect, and a whole different level of talent to really capture who that person is. They caught the sweet, studious girl, the playful Thesbian and even the more sophisticated and beautiful woman I'm watching emerge with each passing day. I am so grateful to have these moments commemorated. They also did a wonderful job with my professional portraits, and they're a strong supporter of our community non-profits. I highly recommend Thomas Bruce Studio!

I have taken my little boy to Carol since he was a newborn. We have had his pictures done seven times now. Each time I am amazed by the outcome. I don't know how she manages to get my squirmy little boy to look like an angel, but she does. She captures his personality every time and makes it fun for him. She is very quick. This past photo session, we received a link with our proofs the very same day. I love that we have pictures that are original and not something cookie cutter.

Thomas Bruce Studio's is the only place I take my daughter to have her pictures taken. They are professional, knowledgeable and fun. It's never "painful" to have our pictures taken and they always come out 1000% percent better than I expect. Carol Walker is an amazing photographer with an artistic eye. Definitely the best photography studio around!

My son hates having his pictures taken but this is his senior picture...I could tell at first he was nervous...but then towards the middle he was relaxed. She relaxed him by making him laugh and that put a smile on my face to see him smile a normal and not a fake smile on his senior picture...a very proud moment for me. The studio is so beautifully set up and their is privacy when you get your pictures done.

Very helpful.

10+ years later, I was still able to get a photo that was previously taken. Excellent

Carol and her staff did a great job! The pictures were great. I couldn't be happier with the service and the result.

Carol Walker is very talented, in addition to being very kind and patient with me. She went thru many backgrounds for me, turned on a fan when I was hot and nervous. And continued until I found the perfect pose and photo. So happy I found her.

Amazing photography!

Carol Walker with Thomas Bruce Studio is an absolute visionary. From headshots to portraiture, she can really do it all. Carol did my senior photos back in high school, and she got a shot that has become truly iconic within my family and circle of friends. This fantastic shot of me in my performance ensemble was so dramatic and expertly done, my mother ordered a giant canvas of it to be mounted on our fireplace. Additionally, we had a cartoon inspired by it drawn up to be my logo, and the original photo taken by Carol is featured on all of my business cards. People are always commenting on this serious conversation piece that she created, masterfully complimenting my attire with one of her gorgeous backdrops and mood lighting. Recently, Carol has done my brother's senior photos, my father's business headshots, and my acting headshots, and they have all come out simply spectacular in little to no time at all. It took her about 30 minutes to get me two headshots with completely different moods -- one for my serious roles and the other for my comedic endeavors. You cannot go wrong with Thomas Bruce Studio, and Carol's artistry, professionalism, and friendliness are simply unparalleled.

Thomas Bruce always does a SPECTACULAR job on any event photography I have hired them for and my clients are always thrilled with the result. Carol and the staff are extraordinarily talented, professional, personable and a joy to work with. I have used them for years and they never disappoint. They always go above and beyond and deliver results that are both artistic and beautiful.

Robert O'Brion

Thomas Bruce Studio is a truly great portrait studio. I just scheduled an appointment to have an executive portrait taken and my experience was fantastic. Carol is very professional and really knows how to direct her subjects to ensure the pictures turn out well. She has also integrated technology seamlessly into the experience, allowing her customers to preview the final result on a large screen and she was invaluable in selecting the best images. The results were far better than anything I could have done on my own. The results were truly worth it.

Carol and Becky, you made us so welcome and I have to say that you took absolutely the best 'passport' photos we have had done for many years so much appreciated. You have a lovely, friendly studio which immediately put us at ease. It was such a great experience to come to your studio this morning and we loved talking with you both. We will see you again next spring for some 'proper' photos and will look forward to it.

We love our portraits! We had traditional family portraits taken by Carol. The consultation prior to the photo shoot was very helpful and we followed Carol's advice. The photo shoot was enjoyable, professional, and efficient. While we were at the studio, Carol also took business head shots for my husband. In the end, we had multiple portrait choices. It was hard to narrow down our favorites. The whole family was ecstatic to see the finished portraits. They are absolutely beautiful! We would highly recommend Thomas Bruce Studio!

I loved dealing with Carol and Becky at Thomas Bruce Studio. They are down to earth and aim to please. Photos are of the highest quality and Carol is an incredible photographer with a great imagination. My first experience was when both my boys had their high school graduation photos done there. It was so easy for them to do this as they had all clothes and props needed. We thought these photos were so nicely done and affordable. That is why we decided to get our graduation announcements from them as well. We were so proud of these announcements that they did for us and were proud to send them to our family and friends. I had never seen a nicer grad announcement. They are so original and yet very classic with several photos and just very professionally done. Best graduation announcements I have ever seen. They will be a nice keepsake for us and for my kids. Thanks Carol and Becky!

My son had a great experience working with Carol at Thomas Bruce Studio. He was greeted and made to feel at home immediately. His session was just as we requested and more. The process was explained and we were able to be involved in deciding on poses, props, and locations. I proudly have his senior picture displayed in our living room. I am so pleased with all the pictues and the unique camera work by Carol created the best pictures! Thank you Carol for working with our hectic schedule, providing a great welcoming studio, and getting all developed in time for us to give as presents!

Alicia Joyner

This studio consistently does an outstanding job. I have used them for private parties and they always seem to capture the evening perfectly for me. The pictures are crisp and the quality is superb! Highly recommend this studio:)

Becky Garcia

My son is a little shy and was very nervous to get his senior pictures taken but Carol put him at ease and within 5 minutes he was laughing and having a good time and very relaxed. Carol brought out his true personality and captured his essence in the photographs like no one has before. She took the time to understand the themes he wanted for his pictures and helped bring them to life through unique poses and lighting that look like scenes out of a movie. Carol is truly a visionary artist and a compassionate photographer who is a pleasure to work with. St. Pete is lucky to have such talent! We will be going back for more photos of my daughter at Christmastime. Thank you also to her staff who is always so nice and accommodating. Calls were returned quickly and turnaround time on the photos was very fast. I can't say enough good things about this studio!

Dianne Koenig

Carol and her assistant photographed the Southeastern Guide Dogs Walkathon in St. Petersburg 2/27/16. The photos were incredible of both people and dogs. The photo of a service dog and his handler alone under the balloon arch at the start of the race captured the essence of the mission of Southeastern Guide Dogs.

This was our second time at Thomas Bruce Studios for senior pictures. Carol and Mica were professional and helped us select from all the awesome photos. Thank you!
