You have my heart.
Based out of Sarasota, Florida, I am a natural light photographer who strives to capture photos you can feel, photos that instantly transport you back in time, photos that you and your family can treasure for years to come. With an editing style that leans into the boldness of blacks, crispness of whites, and vividness of every color in between, I work with the natural glow of the Florida sun to create dreamy, eye-catching images. From cotton-candy skies to the golden light peeking through the beach grass, we are surrounded by so much beauty in our little pocket of the Sunshine State. Let’s take advantage of that.
"A PHOTOGRAPH KEEPS A MOMENT FROM RUNNING AWAY."
– Eudora Welty
Patient. Easy-going. Calm. Fun.
As a mama of three little ones, I know that family portraits can often bring a sense of stress or unease for parents, but please know that our time together will always place an emphasis on the comfort of you and your children. You will never feel rushed, and I will always bring a demeanor that is rooted in patience, calm, and, of course, having a little fun. My favorite photos always end being the ones of kids simply being kids – and I think you’ll agree that those little moments of childhood joy are the ones that we so desperately want to hold on to.
LIFESTYLE-LED APPROACH
Think of me as part photographer, part chaos coordinator. I'll gently guide you into pretty light, then capture the mischief, the magic, and the mess in between. Posed and smiling? Check. Candid and giggly? Absolutely. A little wild, a lot wonderful – that's the good stuff.
TRUE-TO-LIFE EDITS
I like to keep my editing style true-to-life– just soft, natural and clean. . The colors are true. The vibe is timeless. Basically, nothing overly fancy, just the good stuff that lets the moment shine. After all, you want photos that feel like you.
I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU.
