Slaytona 500

🏁 Ready, Set, SLAY 🏁

Models, mark your calendars and set your alarms — Slaytona 500 is happening Saturday, May 31st at Aripeka, Hudson, and we’re racing the clock to capture the most epic golden hour moments!

This is a TFP meetup, so it’s FREE to attend — no fees, no parking charges, just bring your vibe and slay.

Here’s the deal:

• When? Meet at 6:45 PM to get settled. We’ll start at 7:00 PM, racing the sunset with an epic shoot until the sun sets at 8:22 PM.
• Where? Aripeka Nature Preserve — rocky hills, tall grasses, and wildflowers.
• Wardrobe? A surprise! Get ready to bring your A-game.
• Who’s invited? All levels welcome! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie, everyone’s welcome to join and get in on the action.

✨ What’s the catch?
At the end of our Slaytona 500 race, we’re going to pick our favorite image from the shoot to be our June cover photo. So, bring your best energy — we want to see you shine in every shot!

This is a friendly competition to get us all excited for summer, with the best image earning the cover spot. It’s not just about the win, though — it’s about bringing our community back together after a couple months without shoots. This is a basic meetup with a fun twist, and it’s being hosted by a stand-in host alongside two seasoned members from our group. So come for the fun, the laughs, and the connection!

🚨 Important Note: Starting with this event, all Tampa Bay Styled Shoots will require a release/consent form to be signed by every attendee—models, photographers, and anyone participating. This form is here to protect everyone involved and make sure there’s no fishy business. It keeps everything clear, respectful, and above board so we can all focus on creating magic together.

Along with that, you must sign up through the EventBrite link (yep, still totally free) so I can keep track of who’s coming and make sure everyone’s covered. If you don’t register AND sign the release/consent form, you won’t be included in the shoot. Let’s keep it fun, safe, and professional—so we can all slay in peace.
