Good to Meet You
I am a traveler and a lover of life.
A singer and performer.
I am also an introvert. Doesn't that make things interesting?
I used to think people who said they loved working out were lying. Now I'm one of them.
I love coffee, lunch dates with good friends, and beach days in January.
I am obsessed with old photographs. Always have been. Always will be. See?
How about you? What makes your house a home? What makes you tick? Drop me a note and tell me about it, and then let's craft just the perfect way to capture it together.
xoxo,
You bring to the act of photography
all the pictures you have seen,
the books you have read,
the music you have heard,
the people you have loved.

Quiet water. Soft light. A moment just for her.

No two seniors are the same… and neither are their sessions.
5 sessions.
5 moods.
Zero wrong answers.
If you had to pick ONE 👀

🎨 Funky downtown
🌾 Moody Myakka
☀️ Bright & sunny
🤍 Soft + romantic
Which session would you choose?

Golden hour was definitely her color. ✨🧡
Capturing seniors in their element will forever be my favorite. ✨
If you’re dreaming up your own senior session, I’d love to create something beautiful with you. 🤍
Some sessions are styled.
Some are planned.
And some simply capture who you are in this exact season of life.
This mama chose the third one — messy, honest, beautiful. ✨
If you want a session that feels authentically you, I’d love to create it with you. 🤍
Who needs a ladder when you have siblings? 😄🌅😂
My very last Siesta Key mini session of 2025… and what a beautiful way to end the season.
On the eve of Thanksgiving, I’m feeling so deeply grateful for every single client who trusted me with their memories this year. ✨🧡🌅
