Sarasota’s Premier Senior & Headshot Photographer
Real seniors. Real families. Real professionals. Every image here is an actual client and an actual session, nothing staged for a catalog. Browse by category below to see what a session with me actually looks like.
There’s a version of me that exists only during golden hour, and she is not calm.
Everyone else sees a pretty sky. I see a countdown.
This is what six minutes of pure chaos looks like. Don’t let my calm exterior deceive you. 😆🦆
Tag a senior mom who needs to see this level of commitment 😂

A perfect little Cape Cod getaway @garlandsmotel ♥️
What sunset looks like to a normal person.
What it looks like to me: SIX MINUTES AND I AM NOT CALM ABOUT IT!

50 things about me. Counting down.
45: I grew up a child of the 70s in a neighborhood so full of kids that every parent was everyone`s parent.
44: I am a Brewers Baseball fanatic. Don`t ask me my favorite player, I will list every single one.
43: As a kid, I was severely homesick anytime I was away from my family.
42: I have a music degree and spent years performing on stage before I ever picked up a camera.
41: Started piano lessons at age 9, taught by a big-band leader on lead sheets and fake books instead of traditional sheet music.
New ones every Tuesday. Catch up anytime in my Story highlights. 🤍

Bold, unapologetic, a little bit chaos, entirely her own.
This is what happens when a senior portrait stops trying to look like everyone else’s. It just looks like her.
