LET'S MAKE WEIRD PHOTOS

Oh hey

Did you just find the best photographer in Tampa?

Maybe??? I'm Jesi Cason, a brand photographer, content creator, and wardrobe stylist with a studio located in the historic Old Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa, FL.

Since 2007, I've been slinging my camera at whatever tickles my fancy. And nothing tickles my fancy harder than your brand. My strategy is to become obsessed with what makes you special, get you out of your safe little comfort zone, and lock in on creating photos, short form video content, and a capsule wardrobe that makes you look like you've got your shit together…even if you kind of don't.

WHO WE ARE?

WHO WE ARE?

WHO WE ARE?

You don’t need fifty slides, ten calls, and six personas to build something good. You need a clear idea, the right tools, and a team that gives a damn. That’s what Pokota is.

Everything you need.

From naming and brand strategy to design and development — we offer full-service builds without the fluff.

No handoffs, no third parties, no confusion. You work with the same core team from kickoff to launch.
