Photography Is an Investment—Because Time Doesn’t Wait

Many people ask if photography is an investment worth making. And when they do, I don’t reach for a price list—I think of stories like this… I think of the woman who messaged me, her voice trembling through text, thanking me for the photo I captured of her dad—because it was the last one she’d ever have. I think of the family who books me every single year for their Central Florida family photography session, and how I’ve watched their babies grow taller, th[...]

Extended Family Photography at Disney’s Riviera Resort

Family photography at Disney’s Riviera Resort is more than a quick photo session—it’s a chance to capture your vacation memories with the people you love most. When you think of Disney, your mind probably jumps straight to the theme parks — the thrill of rides, the sparkle of fireworks, and the wonder in your kids’ eyes as they spot their favorite character. But what if you could bottle up that joy, those memories, and the laughter between generations into keepsake images you’l[...]

Mini Session Photography: What It Is & Why Families Love Them

If you’ve been shopping around for photography packages, chances are you’ve come across the term mini session—and maybe wondered what exactly that means. A mini session is a short and sweet photography experience, usually lasting between 10 to 20 minutes. These sessions are held at a specific location and date, often with a theme or seasonal flair. You’ll typically receive a small selection of edited images, making this a quick, affordable way to capture beauti[...]

Why Your Florida Vacation Is Perfect for Family Photos

Family Vacation photo in Cocoa Beach, Florida If you’ve booked a family trip to Florida, don’t forget one of the most meaningful things you can do while you're here: schedule your family vacation photos in Florida. But between theme park lines, beach days, and poolside lounging, don’t forget one of the most meaningful things you can do on your vacation: capture it. As a Central Florida-based family photographer, I get the joy of meeting families from all over the country who u[...]

Questions I’ll Never Ask as Your Photographer (and What I Do Instead)

As a photographer, I’ve learned that the experience you have in front of the camera matters just as much as the final gallery you receive. I want you to feel comfortable, valued, and at ease every step of the way. And that means being intentional—not just with how I pose you or guide you, but with the words I use. There are certain questions I’ve heard asked during sessions—sometimes with the best of intentions—that can actually cause pressure, discomfort, or confusion. These are q[...]

Why Engagement Sessions Matter: Capturing Love Before the Big Day

Engagement sessions are more than just a beautiful collection of photos—they’re an essential part of your wedding journey. As a photographer, I believe these sessions play a vital role in creating authentic, meaningful memories, while also helping me connect with my couples before their wedding day. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful couple at Kraft Azalea Park in Winter Park, FL. The serene setting, draped in moss-covered trees and golden light, provided the perf[...]

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 🍦

The sweetest way to start the day — sunrise on the beach with this beautiful family! ☀️

Extended family sessions like this one are always so special. It’s not often everyone is together in one place, and capturing these moments to look back on for years to come is truly priceless.

Grateful to be invited into mornings like this to document the love, laughter, and connection between generations. 💙

✨Sweet 16 magic ✨

This session didn’t come easy — between weather delays, a car accident (my husband is okay, thank the Lord!), and Google sending us the wrong way, it felt like everything was working against us.

But her sweet mama saved up to make this session happen — and I wasn’t about to let those setbacks steal the moment.

Together, we created something beautiful — a celebration of strength, beauty, and stepping into a new season of life. 💖

Happy 16th, sweet girl. You absolutely shined. 🌊🌸
