Learn more about the woman behind the camera and on the other side of your inquiries.

Five years ago I married a hardworking and devoted man, Christian, and also have three beautiful daughters, Mila, Nora and Raya. We had a small destination Wedding in the mountains of North Carolina, with our family and closest friends.

I have been pursuing photography since I was 18 years old. My grandmother has been my inspiration from a very young age. She always had a camera or video recorder in her hand(I’m telling my age here) and I wanted to be just like her! I was furloughed from my job in 2020, I decided to turn my passion into a career

Winter Park, Florida is my home base. I am a native who was born and raised in Central Florida. I know all the hidden gems. If you are vacationing in the area and need suggestions, let me know! Although, I haven’t moved very far, I love to travel. You don’t only get me as a photographer but also as a personal travel guide and the best third wheel. I will travel for my clients and the amazing shots we will get in some unique locations! Bermuda is the farthest I have traveled to date, but I look forward to expanding. The Wandering Storyteller has combined two of my favorite things together! Even better than that is all the wonderful clients I get to meet and know along the way!

Yesterday we celebrated my youngest daughter’s BERRY FIRST birthday! 🍓 As a photographer, I’m guilty of letting moments slip by without truly documenting them. For Nora’s first birthday, we did the big smash cake at home with all our friends and family. While it was fun, I barely have photos — I was in the moment, but also felt like that intimate milestone turned into a spectacle. This year, I chose something different. We did Raya’s smash cake a week early with just my sister (a.k.a. the official child wrangler) and the girls. They could get as messy as they wanted, and Raya may have eaten way too many strawberries… but the focus was on the moment, not the commotion. If you’re on the fence about capturing these milestones — don’t wait. They’re only little once, and the years go by faster than we think. 📷❤️ P.S. Scroll to the end for a funny little sour face! #BerryFirstBirthday #FirstBirthday #SmashCake #FirstBirthdaySmashCake #BirthdayPhotos #OrlandoPhotographer #CentralFloridaPhotographer #TheWanderingStoryteller #FamilyPhotography #MilestonePhotography #BirthdayMemories #CaptureTheMoment #DocumentTheDetails #CentralFloridaFamilyPhotographer #OrlandoFamilyPhotographer #ChildhoodMemories

Sure, you could find someone cheaper… but will they fix your flyaways, capture the belly laughs, or chase your toddler mid-meltdown with a smile? 😅 Photography isn’t just a cost — it’s an investment in memories you’ll never get back. I’m here for the fleeting moments, the sweet snuggles, the real stuff. 🤍 P.S. No meltdowns happened during this shoot but we did bribe the girls with two scoops of ice cream 🍦 #orlandophotographer #familyphotographer #worthit #memoriesmatter #thewanderingstoryteller
