Forget about awkwardly posing in front of the camera.
It’s not about taking photos, it’s about building memories
I don't just specialize in weddings. Anything that needs a camera, I'm there. Want your birth photographed? Celebrating a 1st Birthday? Capturing a popping belly during a pregnancy? Graduating school? Family sessions just because you have new outfits and want to get dressed up??? Hell yes.
I'm happy to be YOUR photographer for life. Anything your growing family needs captured, I'm your girl.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel?
Absolutely, I do! I am based out of Port Saint Lucie, Florida. But I love to travel! I service all of Florida and beyond. With traveling, there is a travel fee depending on where and how far. I love to see new places, and experience new things so lets get shooting!
When and how do we get our photos?
When:
I know you will be anxious for the photos. And trust me, I'll be anxious to get them to you! But like anything, it takes a bit of time to perfect the work. In most cases, for sessions, you'll receive your gallery within 2 weeks. And as always, some sneak peeks within 24hrs!
How:
I will deliver your photos in a private online gallery. You'll enter your email address to have access. In the gallery you'll be able to favorite your images, so always use the same email. Once you've made your final selections, you can let me know and at that point, I'll send you a download link.
Who keeps copyright to the images?
As the photographer of the images, I retain copyright of all the images. You will receive a print release which allows you to print images for personal use. You may also share images between friends and family. If ever a magazine or publication wants to feature your wedding (yay!!), forward them my information before sending images. I am always happy to share work but there are terms that need to be laid out between the publication and I.
Do we get the RAW images?
The short answer, no. But let me explain...
Raw images usually need to be processed through imaging software, even just to open the files. The images also need to be color graded and exposures corrected in order to achieve the style and image that reflects my style. So when you see a raw file, it will look drab and flat. And not at all what you're going to want.
And lastly, these image files are extremely large. We would need to deliver these photos through an external hard drive at the clients cost, and believe me those suckers get pricey. Basically, its like sitting down at the restaurant and ordering only the raw meat and ingredients for the dish- not the completed meal itself.
Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes! Your love is your love, and everyone deserves it. I photograph any and all humans who want to celebrate the joy you have for each other. With me, you will always have a safe space.
Do you offer products and prints?
Yes! I offer a variety of products such as prints, enlargements, albums, canvases, metal prints, and additional image downloads. I hand selected the print service myself and have trusted and used them for my own personal photos. You can have your products mailed directly to your front door in a matter of days.
What happens if it’s supposed to rain on our session date?
So we live in Florida and the weather changes by the hour. I typically like to make the call either the night before or the morning of if we need to reschedule. If it is actively raining or winds are too strong, then we can decided to reschedule at no extra cost. However, I do not reschedule for overcast/cloudy days. I know everyone will want those warm and golden tones but I have ways to help achieve that look no matter what the weather is.

Did you say.. Sneak Peeks?
So many times as we're leaving a session, my clients will ask me, "If there's anyway we can get like just one, maybe two photos so we can share them, that'd be great!" And my answer is always...
After our session, I am always just as eager to get to your photos. So most of the time, I'm already editing a few the night of.
(Can you say workaholic???)
So yes, I'll be sending you some mobile sized sneak peeks to share with friends and family!

You're probably wondering..
"What if I live outside of Florida?"
Well, lucky for you I can travel! And I love traveling. Anywhere local is already included in the package prices. I consider "local shoots" anything within a 1 hour radius of where I'm located in Port Saint Lucie.
For "non-local" Florida clients...
There is a travel fee of $0.75/mi for anything within a 1-3 hour radius from Port Saint Lucie. Anything over 3 hour driving, there is a flat fee of $450 for mileage and food.
For clients out of state...
I'd fly to get to anything outside of Florida. This state is so long, it takes 4+ hours just to drive OUT of it. So taking into account airfare, car rental, food, and hotel there would be a travel fee of $1200. International travel is on a case by case basis.
