Product Photography for Chill Bros Ice Cream in Tampa

When Tampa’s favorite ice cream shop, Chill Bros. Ice Cream, needed updated photos of their full line of flavors, they reached out for an on-location studio session at their office in Tampa.

I brought my mobile studio setup right to their space so we could photograph every pint, scoop, and swirl in a consistent, high quality way without disrupting their day to day operations. Someone from their team handled the ice cream styling, and I focused on lighting, composition, and color accuracy to make each flavor look as good as it tastes.

About Chill Bros Ice Cream

Chill Bros. is a locally loved, family owned ice cream company based in Tampa, Florida. They make small batch ice cream completely from scratch using locally sourced ingredients and creative flavor combinations.

Their attention to craft and quality makes their ice cream stand out, so it was important that the photos reflected that same level of detail and care.

Behind the Scenes of the Shoot

This shoot took place inside their Tampa office, where I set up a portable studio to photograph their entire line of ice cream flavors.

Each pint and scoop needed to look bright, colorful, and true to life, so I used controlled lighting and a neutral backdrop to create consistent, professional results. Their in house team handled the styling and scooping which, if you’ve ever photographed ice cream, you know is no easy task under studio lights.

The Goal: Fresh, Clean Product Images for Web and Social

The new photos will be featured on the Chill Bros. website (www.chillbros.com) and across their social media platforms. The goal was to give them a consistent look across all their online channels, helping customers recognize the brand instantly.

Quality product photos go a long way toward building trust with customers — especially for food brands that rely on strong visuals to drive engagement and sales.

Why Professional Product Photography Matters for Tampa Brands

This kind of shoot is a great example of how professional product photography can elevate a local business. Whether it’s ice cream, coffee, apparel, or skincare, clean and consistent imagery helps tell your story and sets your brand apart online.

If you’re a Tampa Bay business looking to update your website or social content, professional photography is one of the best investments you can make. It’s the difference between having a product people scroll past and one they actually remember.
